hey gents..
over the past few weeks I picked up a few niggly bits with betty and then I get slammed with a rumble from the head. My heart jumped into my throat. I take her to a very good friend of my pops and he looks at me and says, son, you have a vanos problem. he then proceeds to tell me, and I aint touching it. this coming from a BMW techie.
anyhow, I remembered a few months ago Fiekie spoke about this place the did his car. so I decide to call, APS and speak to Mr Slabbert. i leave a message and they say he will call me back. Like clock work, my phone rings and explain my problem with sound effects and all(only Cape Town brein ous know how). he says, that can be many things but bring the car to me and ill take a listen. I do that on Monday. He says, what oil is in here. I get all big chested and say, the previous company used shell 15w 40. he says, woooooah. first things first, we drain the oil, new and proper filter, ill replace the goodies in the vanos and we take it from there.
I drop the car off the Tuesday, he does what he does. I call later to check price and if everything is still all good. he says, listen boet, I need to keep the car another day cause I'm not happy. He gives me a courtesy car and I wait another day. I don't have any probs with that because I don't want to rush anything. He calls me and says, listen bro, everything is sorted I'll bring the car to you.
we hook up to swop cars, he explains all the things he did and that everything should be more than hundreds. unlocked a few ponies as well because the fuel filter was no longer a fuel filter, it was actually a stopper.
he walks to the car, turns the key and she burbles into existence. quiet, slight rumble but not as it was before. he says it will eventually go away when the new oil is running consistently through all the parts.
firstly, she revs like a freaking motorbike, normally i used to get a pinging noise when she is loaded just before the vanos comes in, that doesn't happen anymore, i could feel her holding back but now she just goes. in general she is sooooooooo smooth and really awesome.
oh wait, before i forget - HE SENDS ME A MESSAGE TO ASK HOW THE CAR IS GOING. I nearly shat myself. i didn't even know how to respond. if that is not awesome service, then I don't know.
Fiekie - shot for giving me the heads up on who to take my car to.
APS for the win and they will definitely be seeing me again.
P.S. i have a smaaaaaaalllll APS sticker on my back window, it means dangerous inside![Rollsmile]( "Rollsmile")
oh, I saw your cabby there fiekie, whats happening. it looks very nice in the metal. shooooo
