End of Warranty

Dear All,

My 03 CL55 is approaching end of warranty and I wanted to check with you if you can suggest a checklist I can go through to ensure that i capture all potential problems before the factory warranty expires.

What are the symptoms of the ABC suspension problems? Any other issues I should be looking for?

I appreciate your help and feedback.

Cheers

Are you going to keep it and go without a warranty?

See if you can get your IC pump replaced before the warranty ends.
Also check if it creaks when going over speed bumps. If so ask them to fix that.
Does the clutch chirp when your SC engages? Ask for the new clutch.

I would never own a German car without a warranty; thanks for your prior post on warranty from Chrysler (which I just bought) I found comprehensive and relatively inexpensive compared to the quote I got from my dealer. I still prefer to handle any issue under factory warranty if possible to avoid any pitfalls with the extended warranty.

Thanks for the pointers on the IC pump and the clutch; I will attempt to have my dealer replace them if possible.

Many thanks for your reply.......

I agree with the need for some form of warranty coverage after the primary expires... unless you have very deep pockets.
