even worse is why did they have to take out my intercooler?

They may have had to undo the engine mounts and move the motor around a little to get the box bolts so that would explain loosening the cooler.

Just don't get how the injectors would start leaking or why they would have had to be touched in any way.

Unless the back of the rail hit the firewall or something silly but its pretty unlikely!

just be careful what is said online as they can do you for deformation of character etc....

what r u on about, they can't do u 4 telling the truth about something when u have proof, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard. It's OP who actually has the right to sue the business the way they damaged his property and didn't provide the right service he payed 4, hopefully the loose there business license from this

Actually they can because their is a lack of substantial evidence. Best case scenario, OP gets his case thrown out for naming and shaming. Worst case, they come after him for public defamation and loss of earnings.

What the OP needs to do is create substantial evidence as to how the work conducted by the workshop has destroyed the vehicle. When you factor in that it's a 10+ year old car, driven by someone who would be stereotyped as a 'hoon,' it makes the case a little harder. The onus will be on the OP to provide the required evidence which means talking to a proper mechanic and getting them to write up an expert witness testimonial which will explain in laymans terms why this shouldn't be happening.

Actually they can. Hence the way OP has handled this in a professional manner!

Lol my spelling was useless!

Working with lawyers you know you have given the shop first right of repair.

Contact fair trading and pursue this. It's not acceptable.

In the meantime have your skyline repaired or quoted by another reputable shop (Quote/Receipts)

Wait for the hearing and see how you go. I am sure you will do well.

I have seen 2 businesses in my area fold through lack of trade after similar poor workmanship :D

Your rant is perfectly valid and a number of us have experienced similar treatment and frustrations.

Yup. This would be the way to handle it. It might be easier to go through QCAT?

Yes. http://www.qcat.qld.gov.au/about-qcat/publications/qcat-annual-report-2009-10/minor-civil-disputes-overview

MTAQ may also be able to help if the said shop is a member

I have 3 quick ones..

R32 skyline - Just bought it, had suspension looked at/identified + a rear strut bar fixed up (was missing bolts etc)

Mum drive it home.. Lol, still in my P's

Anyway noticed bonnet wasn't shut properly.. The dampening was the opposite to left/right haha and my bar wasn't touched. $180.... Took it back, all goods :)

Corolla - got wheels put on, woke up to go to work, wheel fell off, f*cked my hub n sh!t they were alright.. Payed for it to get fixed :)

Ford festiva 93 (first car) - regular service, engine seized about 20ks down the road...

This was my fault apparently... Worst service ever, I knew as soon as I went in ahaha, oh well.

Sump bolt wasn't tightend? Or they just didn't bother to fill her up.. I'm not sure $270

BUT.. Get this haha someone rear ended the poor little festy and I got insurance ahahaa! Woo

Maybe the workshop identified who 1st built your car ( Coil Cover ) and decided to dick you around because the workshop you went to got burned and dicked around by the other shop displayed on your cover ....no names.

Just a thought nothing aimed at you mate.

still...thats not professional. y shd they mess with him just because previously he went to a workshop they didnt like?

exactly as you said, it's not professional.

some shops are quite childish.

and its only a theory.

isnt it?

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
