anyone use autodata or similar??

[donniemateno]

Afternoon all

I am wondering if someone uses autodata or a similar automotive program to give a time for a job to be carried out. It's not a fiat it's a Ford but a dealer I feel is trying to mug me off for Labour big time.

Any help would be great

What job and what car. I have a technical data book that gives some times and a cam belt book up to 2005

 

[dave]

my autodata only goes up to 2006

 

[donniemateno]

It's a fiesta 1.4 diesel. A rough time for a clutch change and engine change .

Ps it's 07 so 05/06 will be good enuff a screenshot would be great or photo

 

[dave]

as 2 seperate jobs or as 1 job?

 

[donniemateno]

one job if possible thank you

 

[dave]

i'll boot laptop up later that has autodata on, but roughtly engine and gearbox comes out as 1 unit, then its just a few bolts to split the 2 and change the clutch, fast garage could do it in 8 hours easy, slow garage double that

 

[donniemateno]

thank you dave.

i dont want to go into too much detail as this is garage has now been taken to court by myself but the said garage took 10 weeks to complete the job ( after promising it would be returned to me within a week) and are charging over 40 hours....

Wondering if anyone e else has a cop of autodata that grab a screen shot for me or a picture

 

[dave]

this any good?



it was behind the sofa


R & I = remove and install

S & R = strip and rebuild

separate is splitting gearbox and engine after that its normally only 6 bolts to change clutch, if its dual mass i dont know if its longer

so removing stripping and rebuilding refitting is half the time that they have said just for remove and refit


any of the bill say any thing about extra time for seized or broken bolt removal?

 

[s and b]

if going to court you need an independent report
dont take anything off the intern et

 

[oldhammer]

Theres not much info is there,

eg. what engine as gone in, (secoundhand)? (RE/Con)?
have they rebuilt this engine,? Rember they will use original turbo /pump/injectors etc..so it racks up the labour cost's.

im not here to defend the garage btw,

 

[donniemateno]

wow dave thats exactly what I needed ! thanking you

and it's a refurbed engine with cleaned injectors etc and the same gearbox that was with in.
