Owner said when they are changing air filter they damage airflow meter wire harness and connector plug ,i left my car couple of days later they said they are working on it.he told me we have to find same car from breakyard and find maf sensor wire harness cut it and problem will be resolved I said ok ,but they found couple of part from similar car but problem still exist ,engine light on fault code says maf intake air temperature to high via wiring issue ,when they were trying to fix they messed up with all cables and connection,I 've spoken with garage owner he said he was doing favour to me because it wasn't his fault also he is lying now saying part was broken ,i do have invoice for service ,report from AA roadside assistant pointing wiring issue,Nissan approved garage report .I don't have any more evidence from garage they were trying to sort it out issue and they fixed some used part and lots of cables,

Today i ve send to them letter recorded delivery and 14 days time to contact with me repair or agreement to take my car to nissan to be repaired garage responsible of the damage has been done to my car

 

I need help please

You have done the right thing in telling them they have fourteen days to fix it, that's generous seeing the time they have already had it.

 

Send them another letter recorded telling them 'after taking advice, I now make time of the essence. If the car is not fixed and ready for collection on that date, it will be removed and taken to the Nissan Dealer. I will bill you for the repair.'

i got the car with me ?also after 14 days can i go nissan fixed car and paid bill and sue the garge for total bill?is that right we are looking around £1200 cost

[Conniff]

There is no way they will agree to pay that amount, where did you get the £1,200 figure from ?

[zaferolgac]

Nissan says maf sensor wire harness £400+3 hours labour cost inc vat £400 total £800 and they did put second hand maf sensor nissan said £400 tey are saying £1200 total cost of new airlow meter and original wire harness

(Problem is there is no supplier for airflow meter harness )

3 hours labour is 400 inc vat? I'm in the wrong business.

[Conniff]

You will need proof that the servicing garage damaged the loom or it is just your word against theirs.

[zaferolgac]

As a proof when you open bonnet you can see a lots of messy cable running around they tried to fixed but it didnt work ,I dont have any report from garage regarding damage or what they done so far,I do have AA roadside assistant report pointing cable extension is wrong.Cyristal clear car in a mess and i wouldnt mind to pay approved garage some money for full report but still garage they can deny is that right ?

[Conniff]

Yes, they can still deny. Any report you get can say the present state and the condition but can't say who is responsible.
