I'm not sure if it affected the Z18XE1 as it affected my Astra but there were problems with the Astra's immobiliser preventing it from starting/hard to start. I've had my ECU updated (though it was suppose to be done on all the 02 spec Astras) as well as the crank sensors replaced as well as the infamous rear disc dampers.
I think the tactic is to not be rude to them but show lots of concern. At least you get more sympathy that way rather than kicking and screaming. I'm not sure about those dealers but for the group of dealers I work for, they have a certain amount the service managers can play with to write off. Say that you are a good customer... etc etc...
