Hi all,
I just made an appointment with my local dealership to have my pistons replaced (on this coming Tuesday) due to the recent service bulletin regarding the excessive oil consumption on certain VIN '12 Si. I have a couple questions regarding this:
For anyone who has had the work done, has it corrected the problem to your satisfaction? Does it completely alleviate the problem or just lower the consumption. I'm a little bit put off by this as I feel any new vehicle should not be consuming oil... but my mechanical knowledge is admittedly limited.
Additional question - I was advised that the work would take 1.5-2 days to complete so I inquired about a loaner vehicle to use in the meantime. I was told I could have a "rental" vehicle supplied and paid for by Honda due to having purchased the extended warranty. For anyone in Canada who has a knowledge of the dealership service department practices does this sound normal to you? I feel like its kind of odd that they will give me a rental which could be any model and make car, not necessarily a Honda. I was told that normally they offer you a used vehicle from their lot by some friends who have had work done at other Honda dealers.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
