    Just had the Puma serviced

    Just had the Puma serviced, the 2 year one, and when I got it home I noted that they carried out a ZMAX induction service and R&R air intake duct and de- carbonize. Does anyone know what ZMAX service is? The truck seems to be running very well lately, hope this continues.

    I just did a google search for ZMAX and it seems to be an application of a substance that smells a bit like snake oil.

    Allen, if you don’t mind me asking. Where are you getting your servicing done. Ozy Park or Cannington?

    Ozy Park, very happy with the guys there, they have helped me out on many occasions.

    Read somewhere on the Defender2.net forums that the UK dealers also use some sort of EGR cleaner during services.

    Hi Allan.
    What you say backs a mate of mine who also used to have his Puma serviced in Ozy Park.
    He was very pleased with them but found them a bit expensive.
    Seems as if things there have improved immensely since they moved the service manager named Rush*** something or other down to another dealership.
    Alan.

    Just prior to my last service the EGR valve was knocking audibly...5 knocks on switching off the engine as it cleaned itself. Now it is silent. So I presume that they gave it the once over with something that didn't smell like snake oil.....I wonder what it was?

    But it is supposed to be audible, no?

    Can only say that Gordon and John are willing to go that bit further to help. I would not take my vehicles anywhere else.
