...and she said
We need to keep the car for one night.....
So I am @ the Dealer here and it appears that this CEL is a common and related to the Throttle Valve Actuator. Since the part is not in stock I am going home heart broken... this is 1st time I am going home without her since I got her 81 days ago.. As i hit post.. I leave the dealership.. sigh...

Jon and Charly are good people and they do good work. I use them all the time and have had zero issues with them. I know there have been some complaints in the past, but I think at least some of these were from big one-off projects that went sideways for various reasons and blame was unclear. Can't speak about that - only my personal experience, which has been quite positive.

Don't worry about it. My car has only 3500km on it, of which was mainly Fall driving. It's now sitting at a bodyshop after getting rear-ended and has been there for 29 days, with another 10 days expected due to ordering the wrong part.
So, it could be worse!

Silly me; I tried to go to bed early last night.. but I couldn't sleep thinking what if they need it one more day; so I work up extra early this morning.. even now I am so desperate to call the service advisor as say "is it ready?"... u know it true what the say about Man and Machine... "The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them" on the flip side, I got my custom license plates today.. if i get her back i will post the plate...also got a tow hitch license plate;

When you can't sleep and wake up extra early in the morning because of the M, that's when you know you are a true fanatic. Hope you get your ride back soon! |
