so..40,000km service done on Monday gone.
can anyone advise if this is the standard service details:
All fluids & filters changed (engine (synthetic), transmission, radiator, brake)
All required areas greased/lubed - eg. bonnet lock, rubbers, etc.
Throttle Body serviced
Injectors serviced
All suspension parts checked and tightened
Alignment
ECU reset (all maps, settings returned to OEM) - by request
TCU reset (all previous driving memory reset) - by request
Bill - $2200 VAT inclusive...(with some discounts applied) - fair price?
I visited DM south this time around as I've been hearing good things about Prince and his staff. The difference was evident. Patience in hearing out my queries and attention to detail. Eg. I dont know if this is standard, by my engine bay (which was never washed from purchase) was totally spruced up, oiled and cleaned. they did test drive with me after will plugged in Mitsu Tool/laptop to ensure I was satisfied with performance and no issues in the driving situation.
got it back a lil late - 3pm (was the 3rd car there at 6:30am), but that's fine, given the thorough service.
the only thing i continue to get at WOT particularly in 3rd/4th gear between 5500-7000rpm..a strange noise from engine area...sounds like pinging, but its not...kinda rattly..cud even be exhaust shield vibration sounding...but as usual, disappears with senior tech in car. also sounds around the time MIVEC engages, but i could be wrong. i'll have them look into this nxt week.
anyone else noticed this?
