The post about hail and a few people getting their cars dinged up reminded me that I was going to put something up about the Dent King in Philip.

Dropped in to get a quote for fixing a couple of small dings a few Saturdays ago, ended up getting it done on the spot and was very happy with the results. The guy who did the work was Chris, a top bloke who works with his Dad out of their private garage in Philip, not far from the CIT.

Had one dent about 40mm diameter in the rear quarter panel which Chris made disappear completely, also pulled out a couple of small dings in a door caused by car park retards.

I should point out that Chris doesn't do paint - so if the paint work is damaged he will refer you to someone else. Having said that he did manage to make a pretty bad dent in my passenger door a lot less noticeable, to the extent that I can probably just get the paint touched up now instead of forking over the $370 a panel beater quoted me for respraying the whole door.

Overall, his prices are very reasonable compared to some of the alternatives.

Oh, and his mobile number is 0417 469885 or you can find him in the Yella Pages or on the web at www.dentking.com.au.

hmm i need to get one pushed out of my rear lower panel which i still have no idea how it got there. I rang him up and asked if it would be cheaper if we got multiple people to get some dints knocked out he said they could probably sort something out but we need to take the cars in for them to make an assesment i will probably be taking mine in for a look sometime in the next week.

    • Keeping in mind that for most people this is a week to month long job!
    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
