Sure check is a waste of time imo. I recently had 2 cars delivered with a pass on sure check silver.

I received delivery and one of the cars had a airbag light on, I checked the sure check and it said pass, no light. I checked again the pictures online and it shows a blurry dash with 2 unidentified red lights turned out to be handbrake light which is fine and the airbag light.

Mechanic of mine scanned and it was the airbag squib, £540 trade from Baylis Vauxhall!

 

I contacted sure check, can I do I video of the car showing registration and the dash with engine running and engine off. Can I send a picture of the scanner code, can I send a quote and we will investigate. Sure I sent the lot wit ha quote for £708 , lets see where this goes.

 

They cant even check if a airbag light is on! oh and a £35 charge for not checking the car

they wouldn't cover the squib on mine, fault was horn mot working

[What's up with the prices?]

[2013 Mercedes a class, anyone had this?]

Thanks nick 

[2013 Mercedes a class, anyone had this?]

is it ok to buy used Nik?

[What's the biggest blow......]

Small mercies, the punter legged me, my fault 

[2013 Mercedes a class, anyone had this?]

Just bought at Manheim and the horn doesn’t work nor any of the steering wheel controls, it’s not showing an error on the snap on and all the fuses are ok, is it usually the steering wheel squib on these? 

Many thanks

It’ll be finding the door blend spindles second hand that’ll be a ball ache 

[2010 Dodge Journey heaters (anyone had one)?]

Guys, a chap has bought this from me unseen and is due to collect next week, anyhow the heaters are blowing hot on the drivers side and cold on the passenger (both should be cold), are these known for this? A quick google pointed to blend doors behind the vents, anyone come across this before?

thanks

[Civic type r knock sensor]

they told me it would be £500 if they had fixed it, it sticks as they tell you how clever they are and miss the obvious, they even told me to try super unleaded

[Civic type r knock sensor]

genuine knock sensor fixed, shit performance from the so called auto electricians VSS

[Civic type r knock sensor]

Ok cheers guys, I’ll update 

[Civic type r knock sensor]

the car was with top auto spark chap in the area, the knock sensor will have been a euro parts special, what happens when the knock sensor isn't working?

[Civic type r knock sensor]

that was my first thought but surely the auto electrician would have checked all was well in the signal (it was)

ps what a week, I hate cars

[Civic type r knock sensor]

They’ve checked all that out apparently, ecu taking to the knock sensor and vice versa, the first mechanic did say when they changed the clutch they smashed the sensor 

[Civic type r knock sensor]

The car is a 2009 and after a clutch change started putting the eml on (knock sensor), we fitted another knock sensor and it still put the eml on (knock sensor), I was advised to take it to an auto electrician (VSS Sunderland, very well regarded) who advised it must be the ECU as the sensor was fine, they sourced one from ebay, opened it up and swopped the data, they also pointed out the clutch change had no bearing on the problem, they checked the live data and everything is working as it should but they have hit a dead end on how to fix, I have even filled it up with super plus in case that was the issue, i am now at a loss, does anyone have any ideas?
