I called the dealer last week on my 98 LX and they told me the warranty was only extended to 50K miles. I went to my local Honda mechanic and he found a good used one and replaced it.

 

I have to give this thread a bump. The exhaust manifold on my '98 Lx cracked and I took it to the dealership, and sure enough, it was fixed for free. The car has 51k on it. Thanks to 18secFerio for his help. This thread should be bumped up on a regular basis just to get the word out there.

 

Or stickied?

 

Is the crack usually in the same place or people see cracks in different places on the manifold?

 

all I'm asking is for people to paypal me the money they saved

the account is srflojo :rick:

every time I've seen it, its right around where the o2 sensor goes into the manifold. right around that ring, and its usually starts from where the sensor screws into it....

 

When I picked the car up, I asked the service guy how much it would have cost for everything if it wasn't covered. He said "a little under a grand." I was like You are a life saver. I owe you a case of beer (or in your case, a really fat bag of something else :naughty: )

 

yeah, like I posted above when I got the work done, grand total was $600


:bigok:

 

ITS JAN 31, 2005 TODAY. i JUST CALLED AND YOU ARE CORRECT. ANY 96 & 97 ARE COVERED 14 YEARS OR 150K MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. INCLUDES: MANIFOLD AND CATA CONVERTER, 02 SENSORS, OIL CHANGE AND FILTER ALONg WITH ROTOR, CAP AND PLUGS. ON TOP OF THAT THEY WILL BE GIVING ME NEW FLOOR MATS ALL WEATHER PROOF. NOT A BAD DEAL AT ALL, TOTAL SAVING OFF $900
MY CIVIC HB GOING TO BE RIDING LIKE A NEW CAR. THANKS FOR THIS INFO

 

Sure wish this applied to my '98. I wonder why the warranty is different.

 

it does but i think its at 80k or 100k might be b/c 96 is older so the miles need to be extended. how many miles on yours? call the 800 and fight it
