❗️Avoid Costly Repairs ❗️
On the ramp today we have a 21 plate Vauxhall Crossland X which is having another engine fitted due to the wet timing belt failing. This was caused by lack of servicing which means the timing belt has started to break down & the rubber belt has made it's way in to the sump, blocking it up & eventually causing the engine to seize & blow a hole in it! This is now costing the customer a replacement engine & the inconvenience of the car been off the road!
This is why having regular servicing or at the very least oil & filter changes, always with the correct grade oils & at the correct service intervals, can avoid these costly repairs. These 1.2 petrol puretech engines are known for this along with the 1.0 Petrol Ford Eco boost, we have done a few of them now but never one that has caused this much damage! 😲🙈
Give us a call & get your car booked in for a service - especially important if you have one of these type engines!
