Stolen from slickdeals...just thought I'd give anyone a headsup if they didn't already know

Stolen from slickdeals.net:

Just got this in the mail from Honda.... I have a 96 Accord, but this deal could apply to other models as well.... Apparently, Honda's on board diag system has a technical problem and they have an agreement with the federal clean air act to hook us up. Here is the deal summary:

1. 50k-75k miles you get a free emissions inspection and any repairs or replacements are done FOR FREE.

2. 75k - 150k miles you get another free emissions inspection, etc. BUT YOU ALSO GET NEW SPARK PLUGS, IGNITION WIRES, DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTER, AND OIL CHANGE FOR FREE !!!!!!

3. Emissions warranty has been extended to 14 years

4. IF YOU HAVE PAID FOR ANY OF THE ABOVE EMMISIONS PARTS/REPAIRS YOU CAN GET REIMBURSED!!!!

Attached is a copy of the letter..... Make your appointments now....

Enjoy

 

Having grey sides skirts and lips was a small price to pay for owning a 97 instead of the 98-99s I wanted.

 

too bad I've replaced all the parts they replace for u

 

general question: what would there expression be when the see a boosted h motor under my hood?

 

Probably "umm sir, we can't do this work under warranty. It appears your motor has been modified" LOL

 

No more like, whoa wtf is that!

 

damn.

 

what about the hub over rotor setup?

 

I thought the 98-99s had that!

 

rotor over hub ftw!

 

I f'ing hate it. Can't wait to convert

 

im confused to how to put this to work, someone please explain please

 

^^ same here. Someone please explain?

 

^What do you mean? Go to your nearest Acura stealership and say you want the warranty work done.

I already had the 75-150k warranty performed on my car. Was VERY nice to have done.

Don't forget too, our EGR is under warranty, so If you're pulling EGR codes and you're under 150k go get your EGR cleaned/replaced!

 

What if nothing is wrong with the car?

 

i have the official letter, im gonna try to find it and scan it for you guys.
but heres a basic recap of my letter.
ACURA MODELS 97 all get extended emissions warranty upto 150k and 15yrs.
If you won't pass emissions in your state and you still qualify for the extended warranty they will fix anything that needs to be fixed upto par for your states emissions.

if you have something that is broken emissions related you must have a CEL for it for them to replace it. ie i had 2 o2 sensors changed,catalytic converter, TPS, IAC. and a ton of other stuff replaced under the extended warranty.

 

you can still get the free oil change,spark plug wires and something else if it hasnt been done yet.

 

now if they only extended that warranty to cover our shitty ass trannies up to 150k

should be that way anyways...damn crooks put out a 4 speed that should have never made it to the streets, not even in the Phillippines : /

 

So this does not apply to 98's? If not that is fucking LAME!!!!

 

98's and 99's got it but i think only up to 50k or something small.

 

so even if i bought my car from a non acura dealer i can get new spark plugs etc.? I have a 97 2.2 and its almost at 100,000 miles so can i take it to acura and get free spark plugs etc?

 

yeah as long as the previous owners didnt do it already.
they have your vin on file to see if it was done already.

 

Sweet! Thanks for the info!

 

so wut if the stealership say that isnt tru, do we smack them with that article in their face and say they have to do it? and someone please clerify the years that its good for cause i have a 98, thanks guys

 

i brought the letter with me, but they believed me.
and yes its only for 97's.
98 & 99 had different terms.

 

yep its true got this service done in December didn't know it came with a free oil change so that was a nice surprise. Have about 126,000 miles called about some recall with the ball joints that I saw somewhere, but was nonexistent so they told me about this.

 

Wait, does it work in Canada too?

 

damn u 97's, wut are the terms for the 98's

 

cold air intake voids the warranty doesnt it :|

 

if you have a carb stamp on it then it shouldn't.

 

no i went in with my SRI and they didnt say anything, and i took it in because my car kept stalling so they rebuilt my distributor and put in a new tps.

 

i dont have acura dealership here, only honda and heard that the hondaship dont touch Acks? that true?

 

^They do do some collab. work. I know that when I took my Acura to the dealership, the dude told me that it'd be worked on at the Honda place down the street.

 

Honda will take acuras, i don't think they honor the warranties though

 

my ebay intake doesnt have a stamp on it i will try to get it done anyway.

 

Sorry for the bump, but I just wanted to make sure, so I am prepared (terrible at communication). I'm approaching 150k, and I saw this thread. All I have to do is go to the dealership and ask for the extended emissions warranty service?

I'll get a free oil change, spark plug wires and ?


Thanks

 

What about those of us with 185,376 miles? I wish I would have known about that 35k miles ago. I've been neglecting the basic tune-up items for a while now.

 

im def jumping on this asapp. Do u think it will be ok if i have i/h/e?

 

Im thinkin bout callin everhart hondain statesville nc closest one to me maybe they will do this fo me. I've gout around 140 on my 97 but a ram air intake. We shall see. Blazin Si who is tha chick in ur avatar tis bangin

 

So if i have intake, header and custom exhaust, does that void the warranty?? I want this shit done!
