No, definitely need to remove the rear quarter, but that's actually pretty easy to do on this car.
It looks like they mounted the shield later after some bad experiences as my 4C is end of production 2018My car was built without the shield. When I first heard about it 3 or 4 years ago, I bought the part and installed it myself as a precaution. No trannie issues to date.
Indeed. No chance to get into it without removing the left quarterNo, definitely need to remove the rear quarter, but that's actually pretty easy to do on this car.
I think it was a 2016 MY mod...could have been earlier.It looks like they mounted the shield later after some bad experiences as my 4C is end of production 2018

so u taking the car to alfa Maserati of Weyland correct?
good luck
Is there any news after your visit to the dealer?I have an appointment tomorrow Thursday the 25 - i will keep you posted on the findings
no news yet - alfa care is involved and dealer as well...I believe its better if i wait till this is taken care of before i can give you full details...Is there any news after your visit to the dealer?
I don't have the shield either on my 2015 LE, but might have the TCM flash.
I haven't experienced this particular issue and do wash the car with a pressure washer, taking care not to spray towards that area of the engine bay. Car has been rained on plenty of times, but the TCM is so far back in the engine bay, I'd be surprised if rain can touch it.
So $3,300 is for a new TCU and shield? You didn't say specifically.
I would continue to push with Alfa corporate, clearly the dealer failed to correct the issue when the car was under warranty and being just outside warranty expiration they should pay for the repair. Squeaky wheel and grease and such.i didnt say specifically because i still dont know what they are doing to the car - I was just given the amount - im hoping that it will take care of TCU and shield at least
That can’t hurt. Talk to someone at head office FCA. There must be a number. Does someone here know someone who knows someone?I would continue to push with Alfa corporate, clearly the dealer failed to correct the issue when the car was under warranty and being just outside warranty expiration they should pay for the repair.
