Long detailing session is overdue and very warranted.... agreed

FINAL UPDATE (I hope)....

Picked up the Veccy yesterday afternoon. Also got them to do a wheel alignment (mentioned previously) and an engine and engine bay clean down..... needed that.

Main details on cost are as follows:

• Total labour: $695
• Total parts: $414.88
• Total sublet: $125
• Total GST: $123.57
• Total invoice: $1,359.25

Breakdown of parts cost:

• Spark plugs: $40.50
• Flange: $371.91
• Seal ring: $2.47
• Total: $414.88

Main details on what was found / done:

• 32 fault codes found and sorted with mainly software upgrades (which hadn't been done since I have had the Veccy)
• Main codes that Holden Dealership felt were causing the problems were P0115 (coolant temp sensor circuit range performance), P0110 (intake air temp sensor circuit high output), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0304 (cylinder 4 misifre detected (but other codes were also found for 4 other cylinders, not listed here)), C0460 (steering angle sensor offset range performance traction control light).
• Removed intake tube assembly and found seals deformed which were causing a leak.
• Replaced spark plugs
• Removed injectors (again, but not trusting of previous dealership's efforts) and had them sonic cleaned
• Replaced manifold adaptor plate
• Reassembled
• Clear codes and roadtested for the weekend
• No fault codes (must be a first)

So, I am happy with the job done. I will admit to being nervous about how she performs over the next period of time.

The positive outcomes with the dealership:

• Could correspond with them via email
• Daily updates
• Fleet service section
• They gave me a full tank of fuel
• They have basically remained true to their word. They promised and they delivered, and I am very happy with their efforts and service.

And..... drum roll please..... the details of the dealership are:

• Zupps Mt Gravatt
• 1310 Logan Road, Mt Gravatt 4122
• Telephone: 07 38770000
• Contact there is Brian Walker (email: [email protected])

But one thing almost set my mind totally at ease.... drove out of the dealership, about 100m down the road, display told me the front right foglight had blew.... yep, the old girl is back!

Happy for you it's all over Thomas....

Bit of whack there with the cost and time it all took, but hey all's well that ends well
