Title: Thank You Kingswood Honda
Post by: Vamps on 05 August 2015, 20:57:30
On holiday on the Isle of Man and the Engine Management Light came on, into limp mode and I stopped. Restarted and was no longer in 'limp mode' but light still on..........:(

Having had a 'Eureka moment' I discovered that Honda dealers are in the Sat Nav, and yes their was one on the Island...........;)

We called into Kingswood Honda and they asked us to leave it with them for investigation, we were both thinking DPF at this point, phone number left we went for lunch at a nearby museum.

After about an hour I received a call to say that all was well, and that they would explain when we went to collect the car.

They explained that they had put the car onto the diagnostic system and a number of codes came up, and a recommendation for some 'software updates' not a diagnosis as such but everything seems fine, all re-set etc.

I asked how much I owed them and they simply said 'Enjoy your holiday on the Island' Now that is great service indeed, thank you again!!!

Nice one :y

Begs one question though...

What else did your usual dealer not do when you a)purchased the car and b)subsequently had it in for the MoT/service :-\

I'm sure a Vauxhall dealer would be just as benevolent. ::) ::)

Glad you managed to get it sorted, Mr vamps. :y

Possibly not updated software, perhaps more..... :-\ As the car has full Honda History, even in my ownership, and last service was end April / early May I was 'advised' to visit my servicing dealer on my return to the UK - Does make you wonder......

Depends, if there was a TSB on the specific issue with instructions for software update and car was inside the time period associated with it, then the same would happen.

No brands dealers are any better than any other, there are good and bad with them all.
