Hi guys….took my 2017 automatic edge into my localHalfords auto centre on Saturday 27, to get a safety check from a separate garage.

i have only had it for a week….everything is ok, except the issue I have added below….very worried and hope to hear back from the dealership today.

just hoping that u guys can give me some help/advice on this issue 🤞🏻🤞🏻😕.

 

A very comprehensive report 😂

Written by a 10 year old I assume? Other than the photos that show a slight oil leak there's nothing of any use in the report. The manager who signed it needs some sense nocking in to them 🤣

Take it back and ask if the report can be translated into English, then we may stand a chance of understanding what they found.

I'd be more concerned about the loose subframe bolt than the oil leak.  Though I'm hoping they took the 30 seconds it would have taken to tighten that.  They certainly didn't spend that 30 seconds checking spelling...or even appropriate wording!  A non-car person may have no idea what 'Sam frame' is meant to mean.  I don't expect mechanics to be fluent in English but that's taking the mick tbh...  I certainly hope they aren't an MOT tester, where a good understanding of English is needed to determine between fails and advisories.

I'm not clear where the actual leak is coming from unless it's the driveshaft seal needing a new one then oil refilled and checked using correct procedure. If it's due an oil and filter change (or even if it isn't) now would be the time?

I agree guys….i asked them for colour photos, but they said that there printer is only B&W….the grammar and punctuation leaves a lot to be desired, and it is sub frame not sum, I am no mechanic, but I think the sub frame issue may be a worn bush?.

i totally agree that this info tells us nothing….had a phone chat with the MD at the dealership and am taking it to them on 4 October, so they can have a proper, (professional), look at the issue….there is no nocking sound or loss of power, so I am optimistic.
