PAS pump on GT1

[Todd]

I did say to them they needed to take the inlet off to do the job but they were worried about breaking a bolt/stud. They then said they would measure the pump and see if they could get it out through the gap which they did. At no point was 7 hours labour mentioned.

450 quid from Fiat must include a pump too?

Nope, that's without a pump. Remember main dealers tend to charge around 100 per hour

Tried to get the car back tonight but the bloke was just abusive on the phone and told me to get a trailer because its un-drivable now!!!

[swedge]

even if it had no p/s pump on it it would still be driveable

[Todd]

unless he has taken the inlet off

[mvigs]

I know. He was very abusive on the phone so not sure what he has done.

[swedge]

ifd go down and take the car back

have you paid anything yet?

[mvigs]

No paid nothing yet and i wanted to pay him tonight and take the car but he just went off on one. All because ive questioned the 7 hours to do the job.

The car is in his garage so cant take it back.

they are taking the piss, 7 hours labour for a powersteering pump!, as someone mentioned you could remove and refit the entire engine in that time!

[mvigs]

Well got the car back and yes the pump is noisey and it has air in it. Ive had enough now and decided to sell it as it is.

If only it wasn't Red! Almost as off-putting as Yellow for me. That's not to say that it isn't a nice clean looking car and a bargain at the price you're asking. But...
