New To Vic, Need Good Mechanic Around Hoppers Crossing


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

New to vic, moved up from Tassie wanting to know of some good mechanics/workshops around Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Point Cook areas. Have a rather large boost leak and would like to get it fixed asap. All help appreciated

DO NOT GO ACES mechanical repairs !!!

Other than that there's point cook mechanics at the end of old geelong road before bridge.. There's always heaps of cars there and I also go there with peace of mind

Lol yeah 2 weeks after getting it tuned got a f**ked piston. Motor had only 90xxxkms on it with 180 compression across all cylinders before i took it to him. Took the car to another tuner to sus it out and he told me the car was pinging off its ass.

Yeap, heard good things about his tuning aswell but the car was idling really rough the day it got tuned so took it back to him to fix the idling issues, he played with the power fc abit and got it idling good then one week later started idling rough again but had misfire this time. Got another tuner to look at it and he told me one pistons gone from the stupid amount of timing that was set. fuel pump was in good working order.

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
