I brought my car to Van meter today

[ponzy]

Finally, I got a time to drop of my car in mantua, nj today. And i saw 1 1st gen q45 pearl white chicago plate. Might be one of yours. hopefully, van would be able to cure my sick baby.

I called today and Janine mentioned your Q. She exclaimed that it must be "Q45 Week". What's the deal with yours? I hope it gets better.

Free diagnostics if they do the work there. And i had my ds wheel bearing checked cause i think i messed up my suspension when i installed the adjustable link / tension rods up front. Ive used a knockoffs spl's on the front. Engine wise i still have the code 51. Rough idle even after 3 new injectors and 5 deatschwerks serviced injectors. Im pretty sure its the engine harness, i just dont wanna do the underplenum job the 3rd time. if im wrong, my wife will kill me for taking so much hours on the q and not able to fix it. actually, shes already jealous with my q.

Free diagnostics? Sweet. I'll definitely have him do my work. I think I need a transmission replacement. I want Keith to confirm. I can't wait. I would like to have him do a top to bottom, bumper to bumper inspection/diagnostic.

Quick. Hide the spare keys. You'll be driving the beater truck if you don't.

I heard the same complaints from the Mrs. after about 6 months of doting over my Q. I had to spend about a year hearing about the inordinate amount of time I spend with the Q but it's paid off and the last 9 months it's run perfect. She wishes her $22k newish Honda Accord ran so good.

Congrats on getting the Q to VanMeter. You should get your money's worth and have a great running Q when you get it back. How far of a drive was it from home?

haha...so, mike you feel me, right? actually , i laid off some time off my q, about 4 months and spent time with the real wife.

it took me 2.5 hours all the way to mantua nj from queens new york. actually if you're going to take turnpike south (I-95) it's better to take exit 2 instead of exit 3 as mapquest/yahooomaps/yellopages.com suggested. you've better off with google map i guess. Now. i'm thinking of getting a navigation gps this black friday.

hatianking-- if you can't find a shop for your trans issues, i think you better off with van meter's. at least, he's actually known (backed and recommended from q45.org site) for taking care of q45..... it's 85/hour but i think it's worth it. i was in a hurry last time to have it fixed cause i ve a deadline to meet (like my wedding), but it did'nt turn out well and worth it.

Is this guy any good with the VK engine? Its time for me to do some maintance on my 02 Q

[Haitian_King]

Yeah. I'm definitely going to go with him. I'm just waiting to hear back from him.

[Haitian_King]

Called his shop again today and no one answered.

I'd really like to talk to him and give him a rundown of my problems.
