Warranty coverage q: are coolant, power steering fluid, and ATF replacement covered
by original 4/50K maintenance warranty (2005 180 tiptronic). Just had the oil changed and fluids topped-off and the service advisor recommend replacing the coolant, power steering fluid, and ATF at my next scheduled service (25K miles). I said, "aren't these covered by the maintenance warranty?" he said, fluids are not covered but they can do a 1-time brake fluid change at two years if not already done. I don't have the original warranty book, but from what I can glean from the user manual and maintenance booklet, the coolant is "permanant/top off as needed". Other than brake fluid every two years, all other 180-tip fluids just get topped-off. Is that true? Also recommended cleaning (we do it by hand) the (carbon build-up) in the throttle body...I'm sure that will cost hundreds. Stealer gouge or recommended?

Throttle body clean up was pretty easy (followed excellent post here). Bought some intake cleaner
and cleaned her up. Pretty dirty inside, so was happy to get it cleaned.<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/RoberTT/maintenance/throttle_body_cleaning/">credit to RoberTT</a></li></ul>
