So the other week i bought a brand new aftermarket steering wheel. i went to connect the horn. But unfortunately i pushed the brass button (located at the bottom end of the steering wheel) into the steering column. i took it to my mechanic and i asked the TO CONNECT MY AFTERMARKET HORN. anyway i go to drive away and the horn stops working again. so i leave my car there. come back 2 hours later and pick it up. on my way home the horn stops working again. so i take it back to the mechanic and tell them to fix it again. they said to me, "Look mate you are wanting to put an aftermarket part on your car. its your fault it stopped working. you fix the problem. we have had enough. we will tell you how to fix the problem but wont do it for you.

Now i think i deserve my money back. i paid $55.00 for a service which they didnt perform. however, they did open the steering column and put the brass button back in place.

P.s. Once i got home i took off my steering wheel to see why the horn stopped working. it turns out that they sticky taped the wire to the button.

P.S. Do you guys think i deserve my money back because my horn stopped working and they REFUSED to fix it. OR do u think that i dont deserve my money back because they fixed up that brass button. it seems to me like they only performed half the task.

yeah thats good advice to find a new mechanic.

when i told them i went through my clutch and gearbox they said it wasnt there fault because they replaced BOTH before they sold me the car. Absolute bullshit.

i guess i always take my car there cause they are like 200m down the road.

but in future ill go somewhere else.

thanks fellas

Yeah, it cost you $55 bucks to learn that your mechanic is useless... i say its money well spent

Always have a mechanic you know and trust

When you think of it that way, i have to agree.

If i was spending the big bucks, i would throw $55 away to just know I'm going to a good place.

Dump them, even for the little crap.

there only liable if its their work that is at fault for it keep breaking

if its some cheap ebay china part thats faulty and they keep fixing it but it constantly breaks cause the part is defective or sub standard then its not there fault

but if so they have poorly explained this , i would have fixed it showen you exactly what was the fault causing the issue and explained why its breaking and if it keeps happening that its not the workshops fault if i was them

no use telling people just to get stuffed

Your all blaming the wrong guy............ you should be sueing durex or scotch for the sticky tape that failed to work...lol.

For $55 you can get a few good spanners and screwdriver or two and do the work yourself!! Plus the bonus is you get to keep the tools.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
