CAMARO6 - View Single Post - LT1 with A8 Transmission Oil Cooler Line Recall

Hey folks, I did this recall myself as mentioned (trimmed the bolt as it wasn't close to touching the line). I recently was at the dealer and had them check the work to make sure nothing else was required and to document the recall had been performed.

The service advisor told me out of 30 cars they had done this work to, not a single one needed the lines replaced. They only replaced the line IF the bolt had made contact and so far none had done so. Now this is the same dealer that shorted me 1.5 qts of oil on an oil change, so take that with a grain of salt, just posting what was told.

Some of you guys just blindly letting the dealer swap these lines out and risking more problems, like we're seeing posted, may wanna just check themselves before they allow the work to be done beyond trimming the bolt which is a benign process.
