even worse is why did they have to take out my intercooler?

They may have had to undo the engine mounts and move the motor around a little to get the box bolts so that would explain loosening the cooler.

Just don't get how the injectors would start leaking or why they would have had to be touched in any way.

Unless the back of the rail hit the firewall or something silly but its pretty unlikely!

just be careful what is said online as they can do you for deformation of character etc....

what r u on about, they can't do u 4 telling the truth about something when u have proof, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard. It's OP who actually has the right to sue the business the way they damaged his property and didn't provide the right service he payed 4, hopefully the loose there business license from this

Actually they can because their is a lack of substantial evidence. Best case scenario, OP gets his case thrown out for naming and shaming. Worst case, they come after him for public defamation and loss of earnings.

What the OP needs to do is create substantial evidence as to how the work conducted by the workshop has destroyed the vehicle. When you factor in that it's a 10+ year old car, driven by someone who would be stereotyped as a 'hoon,' it makes the case a little harder. The onus will be on the OP to provide the required evidence which means talking to a proper mechanic and getting them to write up an expert witness testimonial which will explain in laymans terms why this shouldn't be happening.

Actually they can. Hence the way OP has handled this in a professional manner!

Lol my spelling was useless!

Working with lawyers you know you have given the shop first right of repair.

Contact fair trading and pursue this. It's not acceptable.

In the meantime have your skyline repaired or quoted by another reputable shop (Quote/Receipts)

Wait for the hearing and see how you go. I am sure you will do well.

I have seen 2 businesses in my area fold through lack of trade after similar poor workmanship :D

Your rant is perfectly valid and a number of us have experienced similar treatment and frustrations.

Yup. This would be the way to handle it. It might be easier to go through QCAT?

Yes. http://www.qcat.qld.gov.au/about-qcat/publications/qcat-annual-report-2009-10/minor-civil-disputes-overview

MTAQ may also be able to help if the said shop is a member

I have 3 quick ones..

R32 skyline - Just bought it, had suspension looked at/identified + a rear strut bar fixed up (was missing bolts etc)

Mum drive it home.. Lol, still in my P's

Anyway noticed bonnet wasn't shut properly.. The dampening was the opposite to left/right haha and my bar wasn't touched. $180.... Took it back, all goods :)

Corolla - got wheels put on, woke up to go to work, wheel fell off, f*cked my hub n sh!t they were alright.. Payed for it to get fixed :)

Ford festiva 93 (first car) - regular service, engine seized about 20ks down the road...

This was my fault apparently... Worst service ever, I knew as soon as I went in ahaha, oh well.

Sump bolt wasn't tightend? Or they just didn't bother to fill her up.. I'm not sure $270

BUT.. Get this haha someone rear ended the poor little festy and I got insurance ahahaa! Woo

Maybe the workshop identified who 1st built your car ( Coil Cover ) and decided to dick you around because the workshop you went to got burned and dicked around by the other shop displayed on your cover ....no names.

Just a thought nothing aimed at you mate.

still...thats not professional. y shd they mess with him just because previously he went to a workshop they didnt like?

exactly as you said, it's not professional.

some shops are quite childish.

and its only a theory.

isnt it?

    • 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?
