| MikeJoel | Diesel question | 13:24 |
| *** psahoo has quit IRC | 13:26 | |
| MikeJoel | A ram 2500 promaster. Glow plug on cyl.2 had was not working correctly and ended up driving it for a while. Got it to a dealer because the plug failed completely and the dash was reading that the electronic throttle control had a problem. Van went into limp mode. | 13:26 |
| MikeJoel | Dealer immediatly started talking about replacing the particulate filter. | 13:27 |
| MikeJoel | I'm wondering - why is this guy talking about the particulate filter when the van hasn't given any errors for it... so we leave it with them to go over and see what it needs. | 13:28 |
| MikeJoel | They come back with - 1) nothing wrong with the ETC, 2) the glowplug cyl. 2 is out, and 3) needs a new particulate filter because this one is reading 150% used up. | 13:29 |
| MikeJoel | $6k | 13:29 |
| MikeJoel | I immediatly was smelling something is wrong. | 13:29 |
| MikeJoel | We thought about having them do the plugs (to save us labor/time). We told them we would pick the van up. The guy was like - why do you want us to do the plugs only unless it is to just save you some time.... I have never had a mechanic act like this. | 13:31 |
| MikeJoel | They ended up charging us $300+ just to run a diagnostic - and when we opened the hood found they had removed the relay/fuse box bolt and dipstick bolt and both were gone. | 13:32 |
| MikeJoel | Soooo | 13:32 |
| waltminer | I'd make sure the correct glow plug fluid was used. I like the Shell Rotella synthetic. | 13:35 |
| MikeJoel | glow plug fluid? | 13:36 |
| waltminer | Was all the fluid gone? Might explain replacing the particulate filter. | 13:37 |
| *** psahoo has joined #automotive | 13:39 | |
| MikeJoel | I have never heard of glow plug fluid... the oil you mentioned is diesel vehicle motor oil | 13:40 |
| waltminer | oh | 13:41 |
