Firstly it's MECHANIC.

Right. Secondly, none of this sounds RWC related. The water pump siezing was definitely no fault of the mechanic nor an RWC item.

And believe it or not but oil leaks CAN manifest "overnight". There is a chance that perhaps he didn't install something correctly when he did the gaskets, in which case, shit happens. There was unlikely to be any devious intentions and so long as he rectifies it, then no harm done. It's not an RWC item so suck it up.

As has been said, an RWC does not guarantee you haven't bought a shit car.

Sounds to me like you bought a lemon and the mechanic has actually done the right thing by you and not pinged every little thing he could but now your lemon is being squeezed you want someone to blame.

What? So the wall was gone? How was there air in the tyres?

How do you know something didnt happen to them in the 2000kms of driving???

It was verified by a further 2 independant parties, both who I didn't know prior. The damage was consistent with wear over a duration not hard impact. There was another part to it which will type up later where we were able to confirm it occuring it over a duration and not quickly. Walls wise, could put my fingers into the deep scoring as the wall had collapsed.

Look apart from the smallish leak the car is perfect and I said earlier I’m playing the blame game as I’m really happy with the car! Don't mean to be rude but I’m not asking for your "opinion" what is an issue and is not. I said earlier that I was just wondering what the law in this situation is IF the rwc is dodgy. This has now been resolved so there is no need for you to further try and dig deeper into this.

As for the RWC pump seizing was just bad luck and coped it on the chin. Doesn't mean the car is a lemon as the pump was not leaking! If you pay a decent shop to change gasket and they continue to leak (due to poor labour), then most places will attempt to fix the problem free of charge, to protect the rep ( i checked and this was not the case this time)

If you wanted to actually contribute to the discussion you could say the rwc rule about oil leak as I’m sure it defined somewhere. But like I said I got everything under control, thanks for your input.

Do you actually know where the oil leak is and what caused it yet?

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
