I30 - Warranty Question
I have a 98 I30 with 43,000 miles. I bought it with 27,000 miles. I have not done anything tune-up wise to it besides changing the oil. My questions are:
1. what, if anything, should I have done to my car (tune-up wise).
2. should I take it to the dealer.
3. since my warranty runs out in may, is there anything I should check to get fixed before it runs out.
4. what are major things that may go wrong soon.
5. will they fix that starter whine that happens for a ½ second after starting.
6. I got new springs for my car, can I leave my stock 43,000 mile shocks and struts (how long do average ones last).
Thanks a bunch for any feedback!

1. Service work isn't included in your warranty. Make sure that they replace your fuel filter.(pain in the *** to replace)
2. ALWAYS take your I30 to the dealer while its still under warranty, why would you take it somplace else when you get everything free, including a loader.
4. Sensors tend to go bad between 60-80k miles(not covered).
5. They will only fix your started if you are still under your bumper-bumper warranty.
6. I've been told that aftermarket springs will shorten the life of your stock shock/struts. But they should be ok for a while.
