If these parts weren't included in the quote then they should have asked you before just replacing them.

A question for the experienced repairers of TD5 engines.
I feel ripped off over the following.
An exhaust manifold replaced because it had been 'de-webbed' and had had larger studs fitted at ports 1 and 5.
A radiator (8 months old) because the engine had overheated, they were doing a head gasket. The nipple might break off.
An injector loom, because we always replace them, the wires break when we put it on the bench.
I am taking various other problems to the RAA in SA because I feel there has been a right royal rip off in more areas.
Not happy Jan.

Manifold dewebbing and larger studs is what we do to stop them warping so it should have been left. Radiator hadn't broken yet so no. And the injector loom is complete crap, Wtf are they doing to it on the bench!

SupporterIf you didn't authorize it they shouldn't have done it , if it was mine I'd be making them refit the manifold at no cost it is common though to clean radiator out when doing head gaskets otherwise they will not guarantee the work

Mike, PM me the repairer please...A question for the experienced repairers of TD5 engines.
I feel ripped off over the following.
An exhaust manifold replaced because it had been 'de-webbed' and had had larger studs fitted at ports 1 and 5. The modifications done are the right thing - if they've removed that improvement they've gone backwards a step.
A radiator (8 months old) because the engine had overheated, they were doing a head gasket. The nipple might break off. Whilst older radiators may suffer, this ones just blatant rubbish - demand the old unit back or a credit
An injector loom, because we always replace them, the wires break when we put it on the bench. Replacing this loom isn't a bad idea whilst its apart. Its cheap insurance.

I agreed to a clean out but $409.09 (ex GST) for a new radiator when the one in it was only months old?
Bah Humbug.

Just done my sums on what I claim to be wrong with the work done altogether and it comes to $2785.01, boy I could do with that back in my pocket!
I guess I won't be going back down south for any more work to be done.

If he sold the radiator to you for $409, he would have bought it for a fair bit below that. I'm betting it's going to be a Chinese one.
