I bought my 2010 MN GLXR AUTO at 118000km with the all service history up to date and stamped by the dealer.
After having surging issues along with the Air bag light problem I called the service dept to find out what they could do.
He went through some of the vehicles history which revealed it had had these problems before.
The inlet manifold was replaced with a newer version and the air bag fault was cleared a number of times. Waiting on looms now.
He then informs me that the timing belts have not yet been replaced and should be done at the next service at a cost to me of $700. I asked him, why then would the 105000km service have been stamped if it was not fully completed, or at least noted in the service book. He says well that's because it's not part of the scheduled service, it's an extra!
Going through the service book, it looks to me as if it's definitely part of the service schedule and should have been done as part of the 105k service or the book should not have been stamped indicating it has been done.
Am I right to be pissed off? And should they be replaced at their cost?
Please let me know what you all think.
Sorry to say but your dealer is right.
The timing belt is actually scheduled to be done at 100k km's but most stretch and include it with the 105k.
My log book states next to timing belt(s) under regular service, 4 wheel drive diesel....
"Replace every 5 years or 100,000km's which ever comes first"
In saying that I doubt yours has been done and as I stated somewhere yesterday I was recently quoted $450.
Shop around for prices if you can and I'd get it done
