To be honest i am not fitting them myself.I dropped my car off at a local "Scooby Specialist" to have them fit one turbo,set of pink injectors,plugs,boost solonoid.I had a phonecall today saying they cant finish the job.Cant undo one nut and might have to remove cam covers to fit injectors.New gaskets will be needed at approx £70.Didnt realise this was such a major job.

 

why would they need to remove the cam covers to fit the injectors.?

 

LoL

If I can do it on my drive, what sort of "specialist" needs to remove the cam covers...



dunx

P.S. Unless they dropped something down one of the breathers

 

you tell me!!I am well p---ed off.After the the fiasco with the mint wheels and now this.

 

New Gaskets for the turbo maybe but £70 seems a bit steep.

Injectors should be simple to fit! And why oh why would you remove the cam covers for any of those jobs?

 

had two out of my car on wed evening and replaced the seals and re-fitted within 45mins. I would be asking exactly what they cant undo?

 

i will be they are ringing me on monday.

 

Mine had a pair of armoured steel shields that needed a long time with a swivel headed 14mm ratcheting spanner to remove...

That was a **** of a job...

dunx

 

my own fault for going back there

 

are you sure they are a scooby specialist or does the manager just own one of them cheap nock off subaru fleeces that everyone used to wear.

 

they have full page adverts in a couple of tuning magazines.Look at my original post i didnt think i was asking for much

 

X1 hr per side on new age cars with no need remove cam covers

 

read my second post,how long should that take??

 

bttt

 

they had to take a driveshaft out aswell

 

Changing injectors on a newage can be done within 45 minutes.

 

look at my second post to see what i wanted done.They spent ten hours on it.

 

They obviously dont know what they are doing. Withdraw yourself from a bigger bill mate.

 

Name and shame mate or send via pm if need be.

Am local too you and would like too know as to avoid them!!! Not just me but I have a couple of friends from Gloucester with scions too.

Cheers ;-)

 

the car is back home now

 

To get to the injectors ?



Sorry ! couldn't help myself with that one...

dunx

P.S. Show us the invoice, with the name obscured for now.

 

like i said i have had a s--t month what with buying the "mint" wheels aswell.If you see me boarding a plane wait for the next one.

 

i have had work done in the past by some very,very poor so called scooby specialists.but i have never heard of having to remove a driveshaft for any of the jobs you have had done.turbos can sometimes be a bit of a pain to fit as the nuts are almost always seized but 10 hours for the jobs you have had done is a bit over the top to say the least.did they map the car in that time aswell?

 

no mapping,thats being done tomorrow unless i breakdown on the way there.
To be fair they reduced the time to five hours.but left the intercooler tied on the one end with a cable tie.Wasnt even a Blue one!!

 

5 hours sounds about right in the first place for what you have had done.
so to sum it up then you had turbo,injectors,plugs and boost selonoid fitted,and these scooby specialists had to remove a driveshaft,were going to remove cam covers,took 10 hours and in that time still left your intercooler tied on with a cable tie.you sure you didnt get the wrong directions and took it to the chuckle brothers instead.
to me, to you

 

Look Dave, we have a special technique to change New Age injectors and it does not involve taking the driveshafts out.
Fixed price, injector change only MY01-05 £70.
Fixed price injector change only MY93-00 £25.
Usually we are doing other work at the same time so we roll it all in to one job and pass on the time savings to the customer.

Beware of any dodgy f***r that tells you driveshafts have to come out

Turbo, injectors, supply and fit a new set of plugs and 3 port boost solenoid valve, supplied and fitted in reverse order: £90 + £70 + £70 + £50. This includes supply and fit of 3 port boost solenoid and plugs.

 

Harvey move to Gloucestershire..

 

come on then spill the beans on who these scooby specialists are?
