Free Health Check from the stealers
« on: 13 December 2011, 12:32 »
emailed the stealers last night about getting a free health check done, got an email in this mornin asking when i would like it booked in :), takes bout 30-40 mins. think every1 should take advantage of this as im sure it would save ppl alot of money on diagnostics and the like ;)

I don't think it's really worth a donald duck to be honest.

They probably plug into the OBD and have a glance and kick a tyre. I had one on my car when they did the coils and they said it was fine even though there were a few issues that I know about.

nuts to that. They'll give you a list as long as your arm and a estimate of 2 grand :lipsrsealed:

exactly what happend to me even thought intotal the parts only came to about 300-400?,
They also said most of them were dangerous and should be done staight away, even though about 4months on i still have to do a couple of bits and it all seems ok (touch wood) lol :smiley:

still good to know though as you can get the bits done either yourself of when u feel u need to :afro:

Doesn't have to be vagcom and that's not all, they probably check some mechanical things too.

they go over it with a fine tooth comb, checked bushes, engine leaks, anything im preey sure. I think they did a good job of findings bits that were affecting my car was jsut the price of parts and labour that put me off  :grin:
