Hi My name is Gabriel and I would like to share my experience I had with the service located in Silkeborg I will do my best to relate my story the best I can remember it Also my english is average and my auto mechanic s knowledge is on a basic level I don t intend to discredit the service or the skills of the people that work there The car in problem is a Hyundai getz 1 3GL petrol with automatic gearbox from 2003 The check engine light is either always ON or blinking on red light s or upon stop s Connecting a car diagnose pop s up the following errors Missfire cylinder 2 and 4 The codes were P301 and P303 I don t remember exactly Also the car run s 200 km with a 45l tank Upon arriving at the service I explained my problem to the person in charge that day he took a look on the car and he said that by replacing the injectors on cylinder 2 and 4 would solve the problem I asked him if this is a guess or he was sure about it he replayed that he encountered this matter before and it fixed the problem But first he wanted to make a vaccum test on the engine lately he said the test came negative The following day I had the appointment but the night before the brake light came ON and the brake was soft also the car was braking very hard I had to push the brake twice to actually get it work somewhat properly The next day I left the car at the service and pointed out the problem about the brake s they said they ll also look into it During the day I recived a call from them telling me that the brake pipes are rusted and that they need to be replaced in order for them to work proprely I agreed and the following day I recived the car back The check engine was gone and the brakes worked fine also he said that they only cleaned the injectors and didn t replaced them anymore In the same day after 20 km the Check engine error poped on again From this point I think I have returned 6 more times to this service and asked them to look into this problem The next things they tried is -replaced the injectors from cylinder 2 and 4 with new ones -they used some spray twice where the air filter is to clean the pipes of residual leftovers or something like that -changed power cables from cylinder 2 and 4 although they were new with some older one s they had around During this time the brake light came ON again and the brake was soft not as soft as before but I could feel the difference in brakeing They added some brake fluid and the error was gone my brakes were back in bussines like before The following day I noticed a spot on the ground were my right rear wheel was it was leaking something oily Went back to the service and they changed something becouse it was leaking brake fluid the following day the spot was bigger and I went back there again By this point I think they got sick to see my face so I made a deal with them since it was obvious they cannot fix the problems I paid only for the components they changed and no man hours I asked around the town on 4-5 different car service s to see if they know what the problem could be and I was impresed by one guy enthusiasm to look into my problem I only explained to him the missfire problem but he also noticed the brake fluid leaking He solved the brake s problem first time by changing some cylinder explaining me that the nut was tigthened to hard on a rusted thread so the thread was cracked On the missfire problem he said that he saw spark s literally comming out of the power cables from cylinder 2 and 4 he replaced them with new one s but did not fixed the problem At this point I wanted to give up since it was too expensive but this guy wanted to also do a vaccum test same test that came negative on the last service as a last thing I was there when he did it and it came positive for cylinder 1 2 and 4 the pressure was too low In the end I spend on this service around 2500 kr and on the second service another 2600 kr all of this could be avoided if a pressure test was done
