Active since Mar 2019
i own a small business and i use my colt 2.8 tdi for everything. at the beginning of February 2019 i sent my vehicle in for a fuel starvation issue. it started but only drove for sixty seconds and then died. i had it towed in on a flatbed so that i don't get stuck in traffic. they got it running and called me and told me that and they recommended that the diesel pump be serviced at the cost of R6000.00 excluding vat. that came to R6999.00 excluding vat. they told me to come fetch the vehicle as it is running oh and their is a noise coming from the motor. i figured that as they work on diesel motors that they have an ear for this. after paying for this i was walked through to the workshop but the four mechanics where still working on the engine. the mechanic started the engine and this heavy knocking noise came from my engine. they can fix this at my cost. the next day i paid for my vehicle to be towed home. when i got it back the loud noise was gone and now it is ever so slight knocking. so after paying just under R16000.00 i still can't drive my vehicle. when i called to speak to the boss the receptionist blocked me and said the boss was a silent partner.
