I bought a 2006 xfire at a chrysler dealer 2 weeks ago notice a leak on valve covers both sides worse on passenger side. the warranty covers leaky gaskets and seals. the question I have should I just do it myself or let them the dealer take care of it . I`ve called around all over Houston and found a chrysler dealer in Humble that has techs that are familiar with the xfire. I read about dealers and how they over price repairs. I don`t want to get screwed on the repairs with other issues arising.

 

If you have the mechanical skills and feel comfortable doing it go for it. But if you have second thought call around for a price.

 

It's an easy DIY.
One thing to remember: CLEAN THE OLD RTM OFF BOTH COVERS.
When you think it is clean, CLEAN IT AGAIN !
( I used a copper brush )

 

This is a known problem. Mine were leaking and fixed under warranty few years back. If the dealer will do it then why bother?
