How is this for service?
« on: 31 October 2019, 14:09:42 »

My 4x4 ate its oil cooler a few weeks back. For a while before that the EML came on intermittently ending up being on all the time. I thought it might be the EGR valve.

Got the oil cooler fixed. Car going alright so took it to an excellent local auto electrician. He read the codes while I was there. He checked numerous electrical connections, fuses etc. Five stored codes. Leave it with me for a couple of days.

Went today today to collect it. No EML light staying on, car running fine. No charge. He cleared the codes with a Peugeot reader and as he hadn't "done any work" no charge.  If it comes back on, pop back and I will have another look.

Could be either garage made good a duff connection during their activities.

If it stays away, I shall take him a bottle of something.

Did you check the odometer? He may have been using it to move tons of olives.

It’s no surprise to me there aren’t many auto leccies. People aren’t really prepared to pay for real diagnostics cos that takes time. Plus when it takes 10 minutes to change a set of discs and pads for good money it’s just not worth it.

If I were u I’d slip him some dollars 😃👍👍👍

To be honest you don't tend to get service like that often because people don't appreciate it, or thank people when they get 'beyond the call of duty' levels of help.

As you say do pop him a bottle or something.  :)

Just remembered he also changed the 4 digit immobiliser code as the zero was hard to operate.

Gulp.
