Default $2k worth of CPO repairs

Just tallied up the latest CPO repair. $1,977 with online parts pricing. But of course the dealer's retail parts prices would be much higher. This one trip paid for the $2k CPO. One of these days, I'm going to add up all of the CPO work.

It went in for a coolant and oil leak that I noticed. They replaced the coolant tank (yeah! - wasn't looking forward to that DIY), 4 hydraulic valve actuators, and they noticed that all 6 coils were cracked and replaced them under CPO as well. Boy were they cracked really bad!

I had them do the plugs even though they only have 12k miles on them since no extra labor. But whoa!!! They charged me $25 each when they can be had for $10 each from Pelican, Suncoast, etc. Oh well, the difference is about $90 and that will add at least one year to my plug interval, so they are good for at least 4 more years.

Wow! Your CPO served you well. Mine expired on Feb 3rd of this year.

Other than a few microswitches in the drivers side door (that are driving me F'ng crazy, parts shipped today) I haven't had a need for a CPO or warranty. (fingers crossed).

The CPO got me a new oil pressure sensor, a new clutch kit (I had to pay for the kit from Sunset), a new RMS (that's how I got free labor on the clutch kit), new case bolts, and new IMS bolts.

I just ordered 3 coils (with the microswitch order) just for the day when I might need them.

I'll add all my stuff one if these days and see what the total is. Gotta be at least $10k in 19 months. And it's going to be a lot more once I present 2 TSBs for upgraded targa top parts. I'll wait until autumn for that one and have the dealer to a full evaluation to find things that may need fixed.
