Hi,
I've just got back from Keswick where I had to be towed to a local garage by the RAC.My '02 Focus cut out and would not restart (and I was just off to the shop to get some beer to take back to the campsite in the gorgeous weather !)
I was convinced my car was terminally ill however they revived it by replacing the Cam Position Sensor.
I was charged =A3120 for this which is about double what I was expecting. They had replaced a =A326 part! Is this a bit steep ? They charged for diagnoses and labour on top of that which is kind of niggling on my mind. It's a fairly common fault on a very common car isn't it ?
Also the RAC guy could not get his laptop to connect to the ECU, would he have diagnosed and or replaced the CPS if he had ?
I was quite pleased overall but I am wondering if a little letter of complaint to the RAC is in order, any similar experiences or comments ? Are there any other parts like this that I could replace to avoid a repeat of this ?
Simon
