You do not see much of the sea.
Why do we stram, ergo having dvd factories and still have dvds? Is our services getting jealous of us? Apple acorns are a plus at the Hermendz house.
 
Goony Camera, remember kids, it takes a lot of time for the machine to catch up with your photos. A real long time, even if you delete them from your phone, still the app loves to Keep and cherrish everything.
 
So, apparently my turbocharger is "under performing" and is being replaced. In addition to the turbo, they also have to change the intake manifold, there's suddenly a coolant leak, check engine light, and there are a couple seals not covered under warranty, but if I buy the parts they will install them along with the warranty work. Amazingly, the seals are only about $26 so yeah, definitely. There's a backlog on turbos, I guess, so I guess I will be driving this barge of a malibu (dealer loaner) well into next week.

Never met a garage which would fit parts you've bought yourself. I know that from experience when I had to change my catalytic converter plus some. The cat alone cost a grand so was doing the work myself. Once I got under the car I realized it might not be propped up right so I wasn't willing to die for a grand. The best I could find was a helpful garage who would show me the proper places to put the jack stands. They flat out refused to fit my custom part though. If they're asking you to bring your own parts are you sure you actually need them? :thinking:

Catalytic converters are a little different since they have to perform to state/govt. specs and the shop is on the hook if they don't.

Don't get me wrong, I was asking them to fit a perfecting legal and legit catalytic converter. Everyone said no but they invited me in to put the car on the ramp and show me the proper place to put the jack stands. Bought a cheap cat for MOT day and a decat pipe for the rest of the year after :D
 
^ soz for the delay. Thought I pressed send earlier. It was still waiting to be posted though. Least I didn't have to write it again I guess.
 
Why am I still strung inwards of my ex, we really loved one another, so much, I nearly gave up my watching over my friends children, and meeting her down in Florida, still I was baby sitting my friends kids for a bit.

They just want me to pay for those parts, as they are not covered under warranty. They are Chevrolet parts, and the Chevy dealer will install them, charging the labor to the warranty repair work that will be occuring at the same time.

Yes, I am not going to go down there and ask them to install the mod I want to put in which will fix Chevy's bad design; I will wait until it comes back to me, and do the mod myself, though it would have been convenient if I could just do this, this, and this while they had the Intake manifold off, LOL.
