No, dealer did the FI and spark plug work, i just had to pay out of pocket for rhe spark plugs. I then took my car to an indy shop for the xmission leak and valve cover repair.

For what it is worth, a friend recently needed a new set of injectors for his 997.2 c4s. That was a $$$ bill as well, and he paid out of pocket

I guess it really is "pay to play" with these German cars

I think ~4.5 years, with pretty average mileage (not sure if any fixes were done during the warranty period; just heard of the latest out of warranty one)

I see. How much should injectors last? At least the Porsche's seem hardier than ours.
