fuel leak test is a crock you can visual this and these are the things left leaking after my magnificent dealer service and had to be redone by my mechanic....
It does not mention a SQL either. will be done by my local. This all could be done yourself RHK. The lines removed are external not the internal pressure relief for injectors... These can be visual checked after a short drive.

Nice one BG!
What is the reasoning behind the SQL, does anyone know? Is it another load of bunk. Seems it's one of the 'reasons' behind dealer servicing, and from the little I've read, if you don't get it done then your economy (?) will suffer over time. I've done 40k now and the economy is getting better, not worse.

I found yesterday that when my car had its 60 000km service that the stealer didnt actually adjust the valve clearances, apparently all they did was an audible check which as far as i can tell consists of listening for a loud knocking noise, which if is not present declaring that its fine.
I have been told that these engines need them adjusted every 30 000 regardless by a stealer who came highly recommended to me. Basically i am looking for an opinion if the stealer who is checking them audibly is an idiot and trying to save labour costs.
It is my understanding that when the dealer is asked for a 60000km service they should take the rocker cover off and do it properly. I just wanted to check i was right and get some other opinions before i go become an "problem" customer.
Cheers
