Unusual folks? I didn't see any other reports on this forum... Looks like a replacement radiator (50,100 miles -- ). Don'tcha love Murphy's Law?

 

And presumably you didn't get an extended warranty? Perhaps you might want to re-visit that decision (to pass on the extended warranty)?

 

Coincidentally, I had the same exact issue at 45,000 miles (March 2006). They had initially replaced the hose, but a week later I went back to tell them it's still leaking at which time they replaced the raidator. Same location you mention is where I saw the coolant spray.

 

Just had mine replaced @ 26,000 miles, it was covered, but removing the Alta lightbar was not & I'm still not happy about the way the dealer handled that part of the job. I was told it would take 3 hours to R&R @ a cost of $400.00 ( 8 male/female plug-ins & 2 bolts) What are you going to do, they got you by the b*##s @ that point & you just have to go with it, just another case of poor or no communication between the service department & customer. A heads up before they even started work would have been nice.

 

Y'know I just might! Don't recall making that decision actually... Thanks for raising that question.

Actually it's 51,000 miles - I had a busy weekend.

Consolation is that the AC condenser can come out for no extra effort while the new radiator goes in (the compressor is already gone, I just ran out of time on the rest). Mind you weight is evil and I grew up with bikes and British sports cars so I made the AC delete decision with confidence (I thought). On the other hand I just endured a lovely day of autocross at Devens on Sunday with an air temp of 97 degrees, and was very grateful when a competitor invited me to hang out in his air conditioned truck for a while... There are two sides to that story, and my autocross driving needs way more help than the 30 or so pounds I sacrificed so mebbe I got too excited!
