The Follow up of Oil Leaking Issue
Continue from Bloody story - After the 110k km maintenance service with Geot Auto (PJ)
Jan 3, 2017 - Received courtesy car (208, 2 doors version) from Careline (Mr Hazizul) and they took over my car to check and repair.
Do you remember the broken pipe at the turbo intake pipe? Picture as below:
This is part of the intake hose. I planned to visit to Geo Auto to get them to fix it. But Careline already took over my car, so I better let Careline to handle it.
A review to the checklist from Geot Auto to fix the oil leaking issue. Careline referred to this diagnostic result to start to fix my car.
Here are the items and price (before GST and labour)
1. Valve cover, RM 937
2. Intake pipe, RM 625 (this is the part with broken pipe)
3. Oil filter housing, RM 1070 (I heard 508 owners complained this causes oil leaking from their engines as well)
4. Oil return hose, RM 727
Will oil leaking issue resolves after replace these items/parts? I have no idea but I hope it can.
Well, I am not sure shall I pay for this. As I understand extended warranty does not cover any leakage. However I hope Careline can really look into my reports and purchase records of engine oil, and take this as normal warranty claim.
If they are going to charge me (estimate cost at RM 4000 ++) to fix the oil leaking issue, might as well I reject the repair. With RM 4000, I can buy another 12 packs of 5L engine oil, and every 5L to top up between each 10k km maintenance service. 12 packs can last 12 maintenance service, which is more than 3 years.
And I yet to know will they charge me for the broken pipe (intake pipe) because they could blame that is done by me.
Well, let wait and see the report from Careline.
Stay Tune. Thanks for reading.
