Merry Christmas from Australia, Perth! Found a few problems with previous services of this ten year old car I just bought and I would like to ask members here if their experiences were similar to mine:
Fuel filter service every 60,000: Not ticked by mechanic at the first 60k and not done as per invoice at 120,000km. Answer by assistant service manager: "I cannot remember ......!" Looks to me like if the diagnostic claims the fuel pressure is still OK, then the filter is not being changed. Am I right or are you wrong?
Auto transmission oil change every 60,000: Same as above. Answer: "We would have asked the client if he wishes to have this service performed!"??? I am sure the sensor in the pan only reads temperature and not the "goodness" of the trans oil, so it looks like I will have to do it myself with the help of a lots of videos from this and other fora. Shame!
What is going on at the dealerships or are we showing our convict heritage?
