They identified a possible oil leak around the rear main seal and recommended replacing the seal and cleaning the clogged PCV intake (and expanding the air intake hole).This is covered under GM Service bulletin# 14882 with extended warranty coverage for Equinox and Terrain (including my 2.4l 2013 model). Of course, as many have discovered, the GM dealer wouldn't honor the warranty, claiming that my VIN was somehow not covered (shocking that GM get's away with this - my service advisor suggested I join the class action lawsuit against GM.....but whatever.....).Anyway.......I booked my Equinox in for the bulletin# 14882 repairs a couple weeks after the initial diagnosis. After having the Equinox in the GM shop for 2 days to perform the rear main seal and PCV valve fix, the dealer called to inform me they had found a new problem. Apparently, the check engine light was on when I brought it in to GM two days earlier (this wasn't true) and they had determined that the high pressure fuel pump was now faulty and the Equinox would only run at low power due to inadequate fuel supply.Funny how we had never noticed any issues at all with the Equinox performance (for that matter it had never leaked a drop of oil either).My question is this: since unclogging the PCV intake valve requires removal of the fuel lines and high pressure fuel pump, am I being unfair to suggest that the newly diagnosed fuel pump problem may have been a result of something done incorrectly by the GM mechanic during the PCV intake repair?Total cost is now: $2500 (PCV intake + rear main seal) + $1,500 (fuel pump replacement) = $4,000I don't mind paying this if the work was done properly. But since there was absolutely no indication that the Equinox was having fuel pump issues (i.e. no check engine, no rough idle, no low power, no engine run on) - it seems unlikely that a fuel pump issue would suddenly occur after the dealer removed the fuel pump to get at the PCV intake.Sorry about the long post. Picking the Equinox up tomorrow from the dealer, just curious what others think on the whether I should be paying for what appears to be a "dealer induced" fault.</blockquote>
