  1. My dealer did it for me earlier this year. They charged me 99 bucks, inc the replacement bolt (I decided to replace). I feel better for having it checked, but the old filter was almost perfectly clean at 90K miles. So basically I spent a $100 bucks to feel better about a problem I didnt have, and wouldnt have been concerned about if I hadnt read this forum thread :-). Dealer said they had never been asked to check one before.
  2. I should have been more clear that when I speak about replacing the bolt, I am really saying I put a new bolt with a new filter in place. You buy together as a single part. Now, whether to leave a filter in place or not is another question that has been discussed extensively in this thread. I am not sure there is a right answer but my vote was to replace. I understand many others have different opinions.
  3. Recently purchased an 05LGT with 88K from another board member. Good oil change records and no issues but this thread had scared me a little. Had some other work needed at dealer, so had them pull and replace this bolt. For $99 including the parts it was easier than the hassle of doing myself. Bottom line, there was some minor debris but nothing that would have caused any issues. Called 2 dealers before I had this done, both claimed to have never had anyone request this be done and had never heard of this bolt and filter causing turbo failure. In fact, despite showing the dealer that performed the change the replacement a copy of 02-103-07, they still marked the paperwork that I had been warned of the risks of replacing the bolt..... Bottom line, gained some peace of mind but will never worry about this bolt again. Will just ensure I do full synthetic changes every 3750.
