Black Smoke

[bartebk]

Car is now off the road due to the temp.sensor or the flywheel sensor or both(3000 miles!)Tuesday night car broke down (overfueling-spluttering on,black smoke)recovery came dropped me and the car at home signed the appropiate paper work and he left,next day noticed he must have caught the front splitter on the lift!!didnt notice it the night before because it was 23:15 so dark.AA came on Wed.to take it to Renault told him that the other guy damaged the car and he marked it on his sheet and told me he would tell them when he got through.Rang Renault about 14:00 on Wed.told me about the temp./flywheel sensor also that they couldnt sort it out todayreally stretched,into negative hours,too much work on ,budgie has a bad leg Blah Blah Blah,told them that I would need a car because of the occupation Im in if it was going to be in for a long time(not to change a sensor surely)didnt offer a courtesy car but said they would try to look at it today but couldnt promise nowt,no call no car,didnt mention the damaged splitter (possibly they dont know yet) .Not a good week with Revolutions on Fri.marking the seat and the gear knob then this!!!Where do I stand with regard to the damaged splitter and getting a courtesy car if they dont fix mine before the weekend coz I need a car next week?

Chz,Picking car up tomorrow,dont know what they have done till I speak to the Workshop manager and Ill tell them about the damage done by the recovery.They should fix it as it wasnt my fault?

we had a lot of injector faults on 182s lately for some reason.

Had the temp sensor problem on mine some weekds ago. Broke down in plumes of soot and black sludge pouring out the exhaust. Been fine ever since though.

The dealer said it was a wiring fault, so I fully expect the problem to return once whatever it is that was fooked, rubs through the selotape they probably patched it up with

Sounds about right!Just got back from picking up car,problem seems to be fixed(temperature sensor changed).Didnt even bother to give the car a quick wash for me as the back end is covered in black sh*t,got the feeling that I should be lucky it only took 3 days to sort out,the cheeky ba**ards!Told them about the splitter being scuffed from the recovery vehicle,Nothing to do with us mate,youll have to put a claim in to the AA F*cking useless C*nt!I hope my car doesnt have any more problems because I cant bear to have any more damage done to it by people who obviously dont give two F*cks about other peoples property.

Forgot to say,got burnt off by a cooper s on the way home up a bank but in a straight line,didnt think they were that quick unless it was modded.To be honest looked slightly different from a normal one,perhaps works?

 

[Munson]

S is slightly slower, works is slightly quicker.
