That sounds like an expensive "trial & error exercise sir!"

I think CTC is spot on with his comments, get a second opinion from someone who knows what they are doing, if that dealer suggested such an action to me, my reply would not be printable on here.

As said above,take it to a specialist, the main dealer will just fire the parts cannon at it till they get lucky |

Thank you, I’m shocked at the lack of trust there is with main dealers. A lesson learnt. You get the free coffee and all the bullshit, but they don’t seem to be as clued up as the indies!

Main dealers pay bottom dollar for staff, most of the guys working there are fitters, not mechanics. They can plug in a computer, read a fault and then replace stuff as per the work through for the fault code, but that's about it...

A mate of mine recently had his 3.6 tdv8 sport in the main dealers for a 4 wheel alignment. While there they told him he was due a timing belt swap and quoted him over a grand to do it |
