take off the aftermarket parts and they will. if you go in like that they will most likely void your warranty.

yea they never want to warranty evo's and will use any excuse they can think of even if it doesn't make sence. they will say like..

u were running higher than stock boost which caused ur engine to overheat and therefore bursting lines or sumthing..

u see what i mean^^

Take off all your aftermarket parts. Mistu in NJ told me to leave before they called corp. headquartes (service manager said this) I went in because my shifting felt notchy. All I had was an exhaust, UICP and an intake. How does that relate? It doesnt! But just like "eatsleepboost" said they want any reason to void your warranty. Probably tell you "when you put in your fancy race pipes with the stock swoosh valve you ripped a coolant line, have a good day"

Its your Heater Core. Pain in the *** to change. Try to get it warrentied if you beliveve your dealer is good/competeant to do the work.

Had one go on her RS it was bone stock so they warrentied it 100%

Its a PITA job
