Just for the offer, next time you come here you have a place to stay if you like :)

Still speechless .... \o/ ty \o/

speechless.............

I would like to know one thing- If you accept a car from client and mess up, does the client need to pay for the time you took solving it? And if you brake a part aren't you responsible for replacing it? Or car shops have their own way of working?

Please come to Portugal Jeff!

Ok... I have regreted a gazilion times now for taking my car to this shop... Would be awsome to have someone to help me sort the things is the best way cause i'm not used to deal with these situations. I have been having several problems with them and if someone please give me help i'll tell what i asked and what has been hapening. THis is a shop where i went to ask only for labour as i provided all the parts and they didnt place any issue about it. Asked: - make the 120k service to engine; - find out wich lifters are ticking and replace and remove/wash/refit other lifters; - figure out where from oil was droping to floor; - swap driveshaft bearing; - charge a/c; What i took to them: - timing belt kit from conceptz; - injector/coil plugs from conceptz; - 5 lifters (as directed by mechanic); - motul 300v oil to engine and oem oil filter; Condition of car on arrival to shop: - perfect runner with only some noise from lifters that you could only hear at idle; - no error on ecu; - perfect idle, rev, drive; ============================================ 1st problem - when they were working on car, after replacing lifters and reassembling intake runner, the cyl 5 and 6 had no compression; (after they done something i dont knwo what and cyl 5 and 6 are ok - they say cause i havent been there to see compression mesure yet- - stopped hearing the tick from the lifters as were before and now hear a metalic click everywhere in the engine regime; - error code 13 (CTS) - know cause i have conzult; - tps @ idle was 1,4v - know cause i have conzult; - i notice when looking at engine bay that ps pump pulley was not ok - and was before - They handed me the car this way and of course i returned it right away. Now they are asking me to get a new ps pulley to fix the problem (that i didnt have before), they say that the tick i can hear now on the engine is because of some other lifter/s that also needed to be swapped, and they are talking about stupid long time to do the car and for that they wanna charge 40h of work (40x29€). I feel that i am being scammed so i would ask people with experience in this kind of stuff to help me deal with them. I would like to have a estimate of the time that a shoip would take to make the work i asked, how the problems developed and your idea about it. I need to get solid arguments to go and have a chat with them. This is turning slowly into a nightmare,..... ggrrrrrrr

Guys To be honest the best is to have a old portable with com port on it. Almost every1 has a old laptop somewhere that can be used to datalog; you can even consider using it all time in the car. Today with ssd hard drives we can use a pc on car without worry about the hdd goes bad and it will make a old pc seem a new one. :) What i will do as soon as i have time (€€€€) is to buy a stereo with lcd screen and vga in so i can put a old laptop on the rear of car to have datalog all the time.

Yeah that cable and adapter will work 100%

Good morning Jeff Can you please explain me better what should we do now? What's the correct procedure for installing new lifters? Thanks

Gonna cross all fingers and 1 more :)

Ty for the explanation - now i see that the lifters should have been drained before assembly... that makes sense as i can't think of other reason for this rather then bad valves. I'm going to have a look @ this personally when he works on it to check it out. Does this, if it's the case, make any damage to engine?
