On Sunday, as I was pulling up the hill just outside our house, the car
burped. Then immediately resumed normal operation. But the yellow engine
icon came on, and that means "take it to the dealer".
Except it was not there on Monday, so I assumed a temporary aberration.
However, it came back yesterday so I phoned for an appointment. In any
case it was also due for routine maintenance.
The car and I were at the garage in Courtenay by 10 this morning; I was
told it would be about two hours.
As usual.
Got out my laptop and read all about the Jody scandal, from numerous
points of view. None changed my own.
Just before noon Michael, the service manager, came to tell me that
they'd found the problem, and the resolution would be replacing the
intake manifold, which would take not less than 3 hours and they had one
in stock. The good news: the fix was a belated part of the emissions
fix, so it wouldn't cost anything.
I decided my day was hooped anyway, so rather than reschedule, told him
to have his technician go ahead.
Took myself to lunch at the pub, came back, finished the paper, and was
done by 2:30, home by 3:30.
The car runs like a top, just as it did before I took it in.
But there's no engine icon.
