Was just wondering if anybody could help me...

i bought my car back in december, it was at 92,000kms, now the car is at 103,000kms... so the service is due, i was just wondering if a warranty would cover this?

I cant find the paperwork for the warranty i got, but if its a used car @ $25000, surely there is some sought of cover eh?

Cheers

Guy

If it was in the 90,000's at the car yard, usually ones I've seen they have already had the service done to make it more appealing to sell. If it wasn't done on yours that could have been a point to bring up at the time of making on offer on it, because as mentioned maintenance isn't covered by warranty. Check to make sure it definately wasn't done but that could be your last hope...

And to follow on, unless you got an extended warranty, then you only have limited items that you can claim on and warranty usually runs out between 1-3 months IIRC... but thats from a car dealer.

Import brokers & compliancers are a different kettle of fish, but once again, can offer extended warranties, which very few ppl take anyway.

Nothing says that someone (being a personal sale or car yard) has to do any servicing on the car.

Its due for the 100,000km service which will have to come out of your pocket. To do everything properly, you would probably be looking around $1000.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
