Crashed a car
About a year ago, before the holiday, I had entered Madona, 21 Lazdonas Street, Signal at the car service with your car Volvo V70 to buy spare parts. Unfortunately, I remembered that the check engine light was on. Came to the slide, in the spirit of a young man with a computer and promised to read what was wrong. For 20 dollars I learned that the error code is P0016- could be incorrectly fitted timing belt or VVT coupling. For 70 dollars, the employee promised to adjust everything as needed. On the agreed day, I was present in the morning. After four hours the repair was complete, glad to pay and left. As you can see, no check or other paper was given to me. After driving several hundred kilometers, I realizedthat Abbyficantly increased fuel consumption, in addition, the lamp burns as if burned. Call the service manager and explain your problem. Prompt to fix the problem. It was present on the agreed day. The master was not asleep because YouTube had been watching clips at night to change the timing belt and adjust the VVTi system! After four hours tired of walking around the city and walking to see how there goes. I had to keep the camshaft from moving with the help of an old plate and a shrinking tray!. In short, everything was tried, but the lamp didn't go out either. Still not ashamed to ask for 10 dollars for a plastic cover from the end of the camshaft. In total, I paid 100 dollars excluding travel for nothing. The lamp is lit.Prompt to fix the problem. It was present on the agreed day.

In total, I paid 100 dollars excluding travel for nothing. The lamp is lit. I came to terms with the money wasted, I drove about 10t kilometers when a month ago the engine started to run out. When the timing belt cover was removed, it was found that the timing belt remained very narrow at a width of only 12 mm and close to the moment of shock, which is known to threaten a complete engine repair. It was found that 4 longer bolts were used in Madona service when screwing the crankshaft pulley and the lower gear of the toothed belt together, or no spacer was installed. As a result, the screws were 3mm too long and protruded into the timing belt by pulling off the side of the timing belt, making it narrower. If the engine runs for another moment, it should be completely repaired. The total amount of my losses is at least 300 dollars, including transportation and 100 dollars paid in Madonna for car damage. In order not to blame me for defamation, I have attached two photos, the first one left over from the toothed belt, the second screw, the ends of which have been polished by the toothed belt, rubbing against it. Now understand yourself and recommend to others that for repairs always ask for a check and other documents. If I had them, I would be able to recover the damages through the courts. It then turns out that taxes were also not paid for these repairs. It is possible that there is a system in this company and the SRS does not hold its nose. I do not recommend anyone to go to this service, which in terms of attitude and quality and equipment reminds of the collective farm workshops of the 80's. And watch out for locksmiths on YouTube watching clips on how to repair a car. Contact a professional and request a check and other documents. Then it will be better, safer and cheaper.
