2004 Matrix Filler Tube

[tommyinajar]

Any place to get the fill tube the TSB calls for from cheaper ($176), or any DIY fixes? I've got the codes and the rust. Thanks!

Nice that it's coveedr for only 3 years, so it would have had to fail by 07-08...

Repair Procedure
1. Using the Diagnostic Tester, check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If P0440, P0441, P0442, P0446, and/or P0456 are present, inspect the fuel cap sealing surface on the Fuel Tank Filler Pipe Sub–assembly for corrosion.
- If corrosion is present, proceed to step 2.
- If NO corrosion is present, proceed to step 5.
2. Replace the Fuel Tank Filler Pipe Sub–assembly with the updated part.
3. Inspect the fuel cap O–ring for damage, for example, scratches or flaws on the sealing surface. If damage is present, replace the fuel cap.
4. Run the EVAP Monitor to confirm the repair.
