Sure, maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, I took my car to the dealership to have them do a dio on my car, they waved the fee for me($175), but If you feel that MCM can solve his car problems, then I guess Ployboy and me and Rob are wrong then, and Charlie should not take his car somewhere and have it looked at.
No one said he had to use the dealership for repairs, just to find out what the problem is, I am sorry you didnt figure that part out, or take to a shop, doesnt matter, just take it to someone that can figure out what is wrong with it, what is hard about that ?
I had to replace the ECU in my car, dealer wanted $800 for a new ECU, I said no thanks, went online, found place's that repair ECU's for less the $300, sent it in, a week later, had a working ECU, spent $125.
Take somewhere , have some one look at it that is certified in car repairs, I mean, you can throw your entire back account at the car, but unless you are replacing the broken part/piece, then its sort of pointless right.
I sort of would like to know what is wrong and fix that part, then replace a bunch of other parts that may not be bad because I wont take it to someone that might know more then I do, makes sense?, probably not
