Wee bit more of an interesting one:
Honda civic in Bishopbriggs.
Customer had a large recovery firm out to have a look as car wasn’t running right. They advised replacement of the spark plugs.
Customer phones me up & I head out and replace the plugs - fault still there. Car not idling right & wouldnt rev much. Oh no…..
Plug in diagnostics - misfire cylinder 1. Swapped coil packs - same, checked wiring - same.
Performed a cylinder Injector cut off test - Cylinder 1 nothing happened, 2,3 &4 vehicle tried to stall. So found the fault, cylinder 1 injector faulty.
Managed to get an aftermarket injector & saved the customer -£300 in this part alone.
Sometimes it’s the smaller local firms who will try help more rather than parts cannon something.
