Dealer left drill in my engine.

[skeezer]

yo man lemme get that impact

 

[Tuner World]

Lol aight just call me in a bit. I couldn't charge it anyways so I got no use for it.

 

[syP]

yup.. not normal...


DI isnt THAT loud..

 

[Rebel]

Sounds like lifters to me.

Yeah that's what my cousin told me. So opinions, after I return the snapon should I have them recheck it or I was thinking of dropping it off at Hopkins chevy and have them check it out?

 

[bikrboy128]

tell the tech he can have his impact once your car is quiet.

 

[Rebel]

So I returned it. Asked them to check it out again, but they said that the oil I put in it a little over a month ago was so bad and sludgy that I'd have to wait at least 500-1000 miles before he'd look at it again.

Took it to another place and they said it sounded perfectly normal... So yeah...

uhh.. what?


dont you have a new car?

 

[Dasfinc]

Sounds like a Diesel.

 

[Rebel]

Yeah, a lot of people tell me that.

uhh.. what?

dont you have a new car?

It's like a year old... So yeah, I guess.

 

[Xtant12]

Kind of scary if you ask me.
I mean if the tech was forgetful enough to leave a drill, what else did he forget to do on the work you requested????

Did he torque the bolts correctly?
Did he install the correct parts correctly?

I would go back and have a talk with them as well as have them inspect the work that was done to make sure all is correct. I'm thinking a year of free oil changes are in order here.

What would happen if the drill got caught in some moving part and caused damage?
You could have stalled pulling onto a highway in front of a semi.

F.O.D. (foriegn object damage) can be a very bad thing.

Thats scary as hell. What if it hit something as you were driving? I say keep it. For what they get paid they can get another one. Plus its a lesson learned. Hey Rebel, did you ever replace those seal things on the doors of your car??

 

[Rebel]

Seal things? Not sure what you're talking about, but I did get the sunroof seal fitted so it's more flush with the roof..

Also I already returned it on Friday.

 

[bikrboy128]

stop letting them push you around. raise hell, and dont stop until your car is right.

Felt like giving an update. Found out that dealer put too much oil in the car. I think they may have thought it's a supercharged one, which would explain why they thought I was quart and half low. So right now I have too many oil. Tried taking it to them and explaining to them but he just dicking around.

I tried to show the oil level as accurate as possible. I got a picture, maybe I'm an idiot but it looks to be a little overfilled. Maybe syp can correct me if I'm wrong? He used to own a cobalt.

Also a tech who says he owns a cobalt says that my ticking noise is completely normal and it's caused by the high pressure fuel pump. Also my oil looks pretty clean after 600 miles. I figured from all the "gunk and tar" from my "old" oil it would have looked a little dirtier.

 

[6literEat'r]

i work at a stealership..(lol) and from my personal experience all the ecotec motors are noisy..like lots of ticking and what not..cant really tell by the pic where the oil level is but 5qts. is max full on these engines. see the 4 notches on the dipstick..the oil should be to the top line above the 4th notch

 

[Rebel]

The oil goes to where it stops in the picture. It's a little past the 4 notches.
