Showing a single fuel-up


Sep 2 2020

Vehicle submitted for thorough final inspection at 129541km Sep 2nd, just prior to warranty expiry @131000km/Sep 18th Otto's found issues with alignment, thrust rod bushings, lower control arm/ball joint play, oil lines to turbos leaking some oil into engine valley. As well I requested they check and inspect (for additional diagnostic 1 hr labor fee), a slight driveline shudder/tire chatter when accelerating slowly from dead stop while also having wheel turned. Suspected possible transfer case issue, had been already preparing to change fluid. Also noted was uneven outer edge wear on front tires, attributed to loose suspension components and alignment. Battery tested @43%, recommended replacement, I will do myself. Observed air and cabin filters dirty, I will replace myself, already planned in prep for winter. Oddly, rattle clips missing from both rear calipers, I installed personally in Feb/March...will have to replace.
