Hyndai - you get what you pay for?

We took our Hyundai H100 to Hyundai Midrand because it was making a knocking sound by the exhaust.

6th of Feb- I was told that the exhaust, and rocker arms are broken. It will cots approximately R12 00 to repair plus R2 500 for the service

We went to Hyundai on the 7th. It was not ready.

I phoned for updates. First I was told the head might need to be replaced.

A few days later I phoned and was told the head does not need to be replaced.

14 February – spoke to Stephan Cooper the Service Manager, he said that there is no need to take the head off, when the rocker broke a piece went into the valve, that’s what kept the valve open. He said the bakkie would be ready on Friday the 15th, if not Friday then Monday the 18th and the cost would be +- R 15,000.00.

18 Feb-( please see e-mai)l Stephan said the head does need to be stripped and it would cost approximately R15 000.

"Good day

We have done all we can on the bakkie however we have to strip the head off in order to inspect the bore and pistons with the head seeing that there is still a noise present in the engine, I can’t give you an exact figure as yet but you can work on a +- off R15 000.00.
