heres what he said..he said oneof the fault codes indicated that the coil on the AMM was toast and maybe thats why the intermitten engine light came on. i dont have the code from him butmy guess is its code#12242.
i have some oil leak and he was looking into it and heres his diagnostics -
he said that there maybe a leak in the oil pump as the belts around it are pretty slicked up with oil. also he said there seems to be an oil leak around the headgasket with some coolant. i know this isnt an inetrnal leak as i dont see any white smoke bellowing out from my exhaust. to dothis he said it would take 1000/- as they need to take the headgasket to a machine shop and then do a compression test etc. dont know if they check to see if the cylinders are alright though. i called up another mechanic who gave me a qoute of 550/- for the same job. the dealer quoted 1000/- for the same job. i will know more when i go to pick my car up tonite and will post again tomorrow with more details.
