hi alll
i visit this forum every 6monts or so to report findings of my car service. the last one at 100K resulted in a VVTI replacement which thank the heavens my extended warranty (Swann) coverred.
anwyas car was fine, few issues i was aware of (needing new rear tyres and clutch) such as a slight wobble in the rear of the car whcih became more noticable at above 110-120km.
got new tyres last week (fronts still less tnah 6months old so they were pushed to the back) and was significantly better...but id notice now that something wasnt right...which was not in the front tyres.
put it down to wheel alignment/balance...but anways it was booked in for the 110K service today and just got the call...my front ball joints need replacing...
i told them to check if swann would cover it and just got hte call back to say....
YES!!! (phew!) so the parts are being ordered in.i enquired the cost and they said they had to order it from over east but it was over $1000+
apart from the clutch, i was told that hte rest of the car is fine
in short...im kinda glad i paid for the 3 year extended warranty...
fingers crossed nothing major is in store when it runs out next year...
should i be bracing my wallet for turbo failures or anything ridiculous...?
car is bone stock.
