MANWHORE Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 believe it or not, not all cable ties are resistant to petrol that's dodgy. I would have used stainless hose clamps Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158687-im-disgusted/page/2/#findComment-2947720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazee Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Should have a petrol resistant foam rubber sleeve and hose clamp/s to mount it. I've not seen ANY shop including autosparkies that wire things up neat. Kindergarten kids could usually do better!!They usually use the biggest soldering iron they can find, two rolls of dodgey insulation tape per job, have five twist joins in a 500mm length of wire, and crimp all connectors with a hammer or sidecutters. LOL f*kn hacks! What they figure is... if you don't see it.. it wont hurt you... WRONG MUDAf*kRS!!! They should take a crash course in how to unf**kthemselves.

tek_01 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 OK OK, XXX did it. I spose its not bad to say it because i am sharing information that could be useful, as someone said if they cant see it it wont hurt them (the customer) or something along those lines. thats why i was so eager to get back in the tank and see what they really done. First and last time to go there, wasnt happy with the service from the start.... i made an appointment at 10am and didnt leave until about 2.45.... but i spose workshops can be like that i payed $120 for the install only... the pump was supplied by myself. mods if u think this thread is not within guidelines than feel free to edit. on a good note i got my FMIC installed today, happy with that and the guy who installed it **edited by mods - please don't mention names** Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158687-im-disgusted/page/2/#findComment-2948849 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils_Advocate21 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Probably best course of action if it hasnt been too long would be to sit down and consult with them, and maybe work out some appropriate resolution. but then again its upto how you would proceed in this circumstance. There are many and many dodgey work places, and very few that actually know what the hell they are doing with our cars and even less that will take the time, effort and care with out cars on anything mechanical. Hence why so many people do things themselves. Well one of the many things why anyway. Noo good even still atleast you got to it sooner than later Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158687-im-disgusted/page/2/#findComment-2951349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tek_01 Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 it has been over a month since i done it, for the matter of 120 dollars i cant be bothered going back especially since they cant see it while it was installed. they will most porbably make excuses etc etc and highly doubt i will get my money back and i dont think there is anything else they can do for me.. i will just not go back there again Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158687-im-disgusted/page/2/#findComment-2951488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverECR33 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 how much diff is the GTR pump over the stock? i would think the GTR would be easier to install than a walbro (aftermarket), I would think the GTR would use the stock mounting brackets etc. pm me the reply with the name of the workshop too. please thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158687-im-disgusted/page/2/#findComment-2951962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tek_01 Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 walbro comes in a kit form and is so easy to install, it has a new hose with clamps, rubber mount down the bottom and pickup filter thing. also has a wiring harness with it. The hardest part is cutting the + and - and crimping/soldering them to the new harness LOL. GTR pump uses everything the same so u dont need new hoses etc but it is slightly different on the bottom and wont sit in the cradle with the GTST rubber mount so this is where it gets ugly. If u a suitable piece of rubber and half a brain u could make a similar mount but yeah it help to have everything there when ur tank is opened up and u have no car to get bits and pieces lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158687-im-disgusted/page/2/#findComment-2952101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
