Was yours making a chuffing sound before the repair?

Mines on 230k and I haven't touched injectors yet. I guess I wait for the chuffing sound before bothering?

Mine wasn't, I thought it would be a good idea to do some preventative maintenance, in hindsight waiting may have been a better idea. If it ain't broke...

Sorry to hear about your experience, hopefully it goes better if you give the Menlyn branch a go.

Thanks. I am still trying to decide. Sometimes its a case of the devil you know vs the one you don't. Will see what other feedback i get before i decide to go to Menlyn

Just under R3k for the parts and labour, I did major service, brakes all round, oil cooler gaskets, hoses, valves, etc. so the total was just under R30k.

If you have issues at either, Frans the owner is generally on the ball, he even had a service technician phone me personally to apologise for not putting an air filter clamp back on correctly.

Sounds like amateur hour over there.

Having issues with these guys again.

If the Menlyn branch are the same owners, I will probably have to find a new place to take my car going forward.

Yeah, I'm not surprised an injector is puffing if they can't do the basics right like fitting a hose clamp.

Sorry to hear, I can send the owners contact details via PM, if you don't come right and want to take it up with him.
