2nd Dealer shouldn't have touched the plug without pointing out that it was gunked up. June Dealer should cover the oil too, that's ridiculous. Either they screwed it up or they didn't. Looks like they know that they did. They should fix it, put new oil in, apologize profusely, and offer you...

What is EPR? The first dealer charges about 3X what I'd be willing to pay if I were to have somebody else do it.

Oh, I see it now. I couldn't see the problem. It looks like the springs are in exactly the right place, bu the rubber between the spring and the metal seat is rotated out of position.

I ordered mine in 2018 from them. Perhaps what they have now is an updated version. When I ordered it was labled as for 2017-2018 on the website. They had it listed only in conjuction with the hitch. I emailed to ask if I could buy the harness separately and they updated their website to...

There is a link in my post 4. Select "harness only" .

Yeah, whatever is best for your situation. I think I've needed a spare maybe 3 times in 37 years of driving. One of which was on my wedding day on the way to the wedding! 50 mph is fine for me in an uncommon situation like that for a few hours are a couple of days every decade or so. I don't...

Yours is full height, that's what matters. My 2018 came with a shorter tire so I spent a bunch of effort to get a new wheel and tire that had the same outer diameter but still fit in the pocket.

Presumably. I took a leap that the Canadian would be plug and play with my US 2018 and it was. I don't know why they gave the Canadians such a better one and didn't offer it in the US. Their floor mat option is way better too.

Did you get to see how much it would have cost without the warranty?

I don't know what access looks like, but if I were going to apply force, I do from one of these places. Not in the gaps just above the O-ring. The part looks injection molded. Liquified plastic gets shaped by a mold and then cools and hardens. If the area pointed out above were solid...

We're talking 1 or 2 mm less than new, and that's the allowable thickness AFTER turning them. It will be difficult to eyeball.

Seems like counterfeit plugs have resistance values all over the place. I plan on buying NGK equivalent and just measure resistance before installation to ensure they are in spec.

Ah, my google search was sloppy. I copied and pasted the number but then probably looked at a result without the MV. I assume there are no horror stories with those plugs, just not trusted like NGK?

What's wrong with the Value Line plug. Looks like its from NGK, what do they do to make it cheaper to manufacture? The notion of value line is a big turn-off, especially with no information about the differences.

If you pay $150 for an oil change and inspections for periodic maintenance, then this price for brakes is probably fine. I can't bring myself to pay that sort of money for such things. Apparently most people are okay with it.

I know this is off topic, but I'd like to hear more about it. I know exactly what you mean. It's hard to even get an HVAC tech to actually diagnose and repair simple problems with an existing install when they just want to sell a new system. PM?

Even cheaper is this Amazon.com and a video camera of some sort. That's what I used. Or you can make one from a gatorade bottle. I always bleed the brakes, and might as well replace the fluid, when I change pads/rotors.

I don't know about these part numbers, but for my 2018 I found that the Canadian version was completely different and worked perfectly on my US car. The Canadian did not require any cutting or piercing any wire insulation. I think it just involved adding a pin to one of the connectors by...
