Try another dealer or ask them to show you the specific exclusionary wording.

Default What are the symptoms of a bad ECT?

Just throws a check engine light and gives you a code?

My S8 does not warm up fully when it's less than 30F outside, but I'm guessing it's the thermostat.

It is one tick to the left of where it should be. Above 30F, no problem.
