Hi,
a few months ago a 'Check Powertrain' light appeared on my Calais.
I had it looked at by a Mechanic who said that it was the 'Evap purge valve/solanoid' Needs replacing. After hunting a new one down, i replaced it and the light was still on.
I took it to another mechanic for a second opinion, he told me that it was my O2 sensors and all 4 needed to be replaced at a cost of $1200!
I didn't run out and replace them at that cost, so i got a 3rd opinion.
He told me My ECU was on its way out and needed to be replaced at a cost of $2000!
Who do i listen to? Has anyone else had a similar issue?
The car still runs fine and has just had it's 135,000km service.
Cheers
