My wife has a 06 Avalon. MIL light came on and the car has 61,500 miles. Just over warranty. The code was P0025 "B" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 2). Read the TSB and it didn't look good. Took it to the dealer to see if I could get it covered under warranty.
When I stopped to pick up the car, the service writer said without a prompt "I called the regional manager to see if we can cover this". I said great, but how much will it be if it isn't covered.
He handed me the an estimate, but said they wouldn't know the actual cost until they open it up.
The parts were $2,822.83, Labor $2,897.00 for a total of $5,719.83. Add shop supplies and tip and it's $6K! Can anyone beat this cost for a running car with a MIL light on?
