Hi, I've recently had to have cam belt and water pump changed. As I had suddenly got oil leaks. They said there was too much oil in the car and had contaminated cam belt and needed to be replaced . They said that all 3 seals had blown too. Had it all done £1300.
Came away from the garage still leaking oil. Took it back. Stripped it back down at their cost. Said the cause was they'd put universal seals in and they'd blown again. Replaced with new.
( had been alot of black smoke coming from exhaust) that stopped after all done, engine quieter.
Now only 3wks later engine management light Amber. Code saying its the pump. Took it back again yesterday they're saying nothing to do with what they've done, checked sensors done diagnostic saying it's now external pump !! But I haven't a clue if I'm being scammed and if it's actually something they've not done right in the first place. Please advise urgently. Have a holiday booked for next week. I'm also caring for terminally ill family member. Really stressed about this car . I am in the AA.
