basically they dont know how to do the work. i would take it to another dealer. also try pumping gas at different stations. it appears on my G with a similar issue (more of a filler problem on mine) is some pumps are angled differently and spill valve turn on prematurely. i have this one mobil station that can fill her up all the way and the fuel indicator goes all the way past the "F" when full. other stations, i can only get like 85% into the tank.

Try to take it easy....We may have to rethink your plan of action...What ? I don't know being a newbie, but you have plenty of help from the guys here...

I am not happy with the dealership/Liars either...


Hang in there Pint...don't get too upset.....Yet..

If they would just replace the two fuel senders, and the associated o-rings...life would be great. :shakes head:

Sound simple...Maybe a call to corporate about the lack of service is needed ?

Sounds like a lazy dealership that needs a call from their boss...F what they think of you...

Sometimes we must demand respect. What you are asking for does not sound unreasonable.

It is just not BILLABLE...That is why they are messing with you...

Ordered some rod-end seals and rod-end boots from Seals-It. This should keep my new rod-ends lubricated and free of dirt and debris. Yay.

Also thinking 535i at the end of the year.

You I like...You are Car crazy..

Would you believe before I dumped 30K into my Z/28, I test drove the AMG, and the M series BMW's..

The reason I did not buy them yet was I had to finish what I started, and I am still young enough to want to track my car.

But a high performance Luxury car is in my future for sure.. The test drives were insane..

Incredible power and luxury.. I still need more time with my Car/Girlfriend.

But at 52 that window will be closing someday, and the need for Luxury performance will be needed..

I really loved the E Series.. Not too big, and crazy fast...

The M series Interior did not fit me as well..

But for now, I "think" I am still young, so the Z/28 and the 370Z are it..


But you sir, I like your style.:tup:


Oh God, when Kenchan reads this, he will think, "oh man, an old guy with slow reflexes, buying a 550 HP heavy car"...

Ive been contimplating my next purchase. Either want to do a 240/260z project or get a WRX. I really want to do the 240 or 260 but the WRX is the logical choice for the winters around here. IDK.

hey long time no see, alchemy! :hello: i had a 02wrx long time ago when they first came out in the US. :tup: i too might consider getting the wrx hatch if things dont work out for me on my hatch hunting. i really dont need much power or awd though (im going to run snow tires anyway in winter) so i might look at like the end-of-life xB or the impreza hatch.

Absolutly NOT!!!!! I really dont have plans on ever getting rid of it. My plan is to drive it into the ground. Maybe someday turn it into a track car once I get something new and nice, but thats a long way away. Im the biggest Z fanboy around Tracie, def not giving her up:tup:

My wife picked me up at work and we went to the dealership to pick up my Z after getting the 15,000 mile service. I'm glad to have her back! Unfortunately, they didn't have the oil filter in stock so I have to bring her back when it arrives. :shakes head:

Ummm, looks like a productive day spent in the shop. :ugh2:

Did they do nothing with the air box because of said "aftermarket hoses"?
