28v6r 0 Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Boo Hooo **Sob**On Friday night my Caddy rolled over and died, See, I put her in for a new diesel injection pump to be fitted. So they "Alledgedly" set the pump timing on it. From there on, the problem arose .... The van started to "pink" (If thats possible?? %-6 ) I returned to the garage straight away, only to be advised that the pump was brand new and that it was "probably just bedding in!" and to drive it for 200 miles and advise. 200 miles???? It lasted 69 miles before No1 dropped a valve and wrecked the head and possible engine.The engine that was in had only covered 14k miles, as it was a replacement in May last year... Now I get sad when I see another white Caddy flee past me, whilst mine awaits the Grim Reapers decision Regards28v6r Link to post Share on other sites

dubloke 4 Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 caddies are big buisiness now so someone will want to buy it if you decided it needs to go! imo the garage doing the work should pay for the damage caused by faulty workmanship! tho' they'll probably deny it!

vdubgirl 3 Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 You could easily sell that there are so many people after caddies for projects :-) Link to post Share on other sites
28v6r 0 Posted April 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Well, I'm a lucky Bunny ....Yet again! Turns out I got a new engine free of charge from the dealers, admittedly it was a new head and a short block from another as there wasn't an engine available in the short time available! Now it runs as sweet as a peach! P.S We are talking Caddy vans here right?? and not the MK1 Pickup??Regards28v6r Link to post Share on other sites
