To be brutal, no, it doesn't sound too likely. It sounds more likely they haven't a clue what the problem is (Dirt in the engine? Bad oil? )and want to stiff you £200 for what is likely to be a can of Wynn's engine flush.Ben82 wrote:Other Half has heard back from the mechanics (obviously she is translating Swedish to English, so somethings may not translate very well, their "Citroen Guy" also wasn't in today, so not sure on competence).....
They have said that the V6 doesn't have a sensor for the oil pressure to give off this message, and the sensor would be for low oil (which it obviously isn't low on). They can do something to stop this message from occurring (not sure I like the sound of this!), by replacing the part (which is about £15, guess it could be that switch i was talking about).
But they have also noticed a ticking from the engine (cue my previous thread!: http://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/v ... hp?t=42529" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ), local mechanic said it was nothing serious and was fine to ignore ("just turn the radio up!"). These have said there's a vibration, and a tiny electric shock when touching a certain part of the engine.. which apparently shouldn't happen... they have said the vibration is probably down to bad oil, and there is dirt in the engine, and it would need cleaning, potentially needing a new oil filter (hope not as that should have been changed at the last service)
They said the clean would cost about £200.
Does this sound likely?
Let me know where they are then I can avoid them if my car ever breaks down if I drive up to see my friend in Sundsvall...
