I've been a happy owner with my 08 Range Rover HSE with 56000 miles without any problems.. Last Friday, i brought my car to the dealer to get an oil change... Yesterday i get a call from them saying i have the check engine light on and need to run diagnostics which is going to cost me $200. So, me, not knowing much about cars, agreed to pay to have diagnostics... Few hours later the service advisor e-mails me the car needs to have more diagnostics which is gonna cost $1150 plus tax. Just for diagnostics. This is what she wrote:
"for the check engine light this is what need to be done to start may need additional
need to obtain fuel trim and codes, verify no vacuum leaks, perform fuel pressure test, make sure upstream oxygen sensor currant voltage flow is correct, ck for exhaust leaks, will need to start with flushing injectors, cleaning throttle body , clear codes, reset adaptations, relearn idle, drive cycle, then recheck fuel adaptions total to start will be $1150.00 plus tax
possible may need fuel injectors"
I told them to hold off on anymore diagnostics and took my car back today. The car was fine when brought to the dealer for a simple oil change, now it came back with a check engine light on and dealer is trying charge me over a thousand dollars just for diagnostics... Something doesn't seem right... Just a bad time for engine light to come on or being screwed? What do you guys think?
