Hybrid service

[Gregster]

Hi Guys, I am still struggling with getting my Hybrid back in order. The car is at my mechanic for 5 weeks now. He put most of the car apart and yet not found a problem.

We took it to the local hybrid service where after the reading which we have not witnessed they come up with a quote for a price of a new import from Japan. I know one hybrid mechanic who is very good and I learned to trust him over the months of struggle(he lives too far and is way too busy to come and help)he also said that it is ridiculous. A car as mine, with practically no use behind 113000 Km would not be in a state of that quote. What I need is a mobile service guy, who is tried and trusted, firmly on the ground with charges as such for the service to come and take a look at the van. The car is driveable, we drove it over to the "hybrid service " We took it many trial drives after a section was taken apart cleaned and tested it just always shows up after a while with the error codes. Or please recommend somebody or a company who would buy it as it is for a fair price. Or exchange it for a petrol model I am fine with that as well. Please help as it is practically eating me alive. Thank you ever so much!

What exactly is the problem- what fault codes and dash warning lights are you getting and is it a problem with the hybrid system?

[Gregster]

P1636 HV ECU Malfunction, plus this P3002,C1213 .

Dash lights I don't remember it was 3 months ago,it is still at my local mechanic where we got nothing but the kind of quotes I mentioned...

Sorry about that, the troubles with new technology in the real world no one knows how to fix it. Let's make a bunch of cars that cost the earth that no man on earth can fix. Its a joke ya can't trust any garage they just change good batteries for nothing when it's not even that it costs thousands then ya cars still broke after ya drive it a few miles.

every word you said is true...I am sad angry and disappointed at the same time...I was forced by these circumstances to sell my car for half what it's worth....and a funny thing is...the car works fine since 🙂
