- VS S2 Executive Ute
I have been having problems getting my mechanic to fix the issues that are cropping up with the old ute, and everytime it comes back from the workshop something else seems to be wrong with it...
I am happy for anyone on Brisbane Northside to recommend an alternative spanner man to me - but they all seem to be flat out.
Anyway,
Most recently the harmonic balancer needed replacing.
It came home with a new one but I immediately noticed a 15% decrease in fuel economy - can this just be co-incidental or could they have forked up something else while they were rushing through that job?
The motor also has a bit of a "shake" to it when idling in park i.e. when I get out to open a gate I can now feel the engine vibrating when it didn't use to.
Lots of other minor issues - the interior light won't work but the bulb is fine, half the dashboard lights have stopped working and so on - all these things seem to happen when it comes back from the shop - and he still hasn't fixed my bloody clunking front end!
I want to do a basic check/clean/replace of all the ususal sensors to make sure the economy issue isn't one of those but one of my legs is currently in plaster which makes it a bit hard to spend time under the bonnet.
Any suggestions about the above issues are greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
