Need Help with last warranty checkup
My '01 SL is due for it's last dealer check before the extended warranty runs out the end of January. I currently have 12,500 miles on the odometer and have some friends in the service dept. However, they say I need to present him with a list of things that I have concerns about. They can't just go through the car cart blanche.
I really don't have any glaring problems at the moment but I would appreciate any imput from you guys regarding potential inherent problems I should include on the list.
This is my last hurrah as a freebie and I don't want to waste the opportunity. Thanks in advance.

Tell them the engine has started sounding loader lately -- maybe you can get them to check the compression on the cylinders to see if it is all good. Maybe also tell them that you think it is burning or leaking oil.
And that occasionally, the oil temp light comes on.
ha ha ha. That should keep them busy for a while.
Okay, just joking around. If you really have no problems, what can you do? Maybe hire an independent to give it an inspection?
