George

 

hy george ,no the mirror is on order and arives on friday and i will install it myself ,just going to put a warning on my car (if your deaf stay away) Thanks again Thomas

 

The problem must be all those oneway streets you have in Hamilton, the guy probably couldn't read either.Did they have any problem finding the flash update? Or give you an arguement about it? Just my own curiosity.

 

the service person was very nice because its the 3erd time i was in with the same proplem and i gave him the printout from you and then they spend the first 3 houres on the phone to talk to a tech guy at chrysler and the tech guy aparantly told him that they should only do this flash if the person specificly ask for it ohterwise don't do it and don't offer it and after the service guy told them that i was in allready 3 times for this in, then they gave hime the update ,so looks like they don't realy wanded to do it right now but because the dealer persist and then they agreed.You seem to know Hamilton very well???? Cheers Thomas

 

Keep us informed on if it effects your gas mileage or anything.

 

Hey all...this is great stuff and I'll be sure to take all this info into my dealer and specifically ASK for the flash update. I'm really glad to hear about some getting it done and experieincing an improvment. I'll keep everyone posted about my experience. Hopefully it will keep helping others. I'm hoping there will be a slight increase in milage as I'm not super pleased with the 24 miles per gallon I'm getting right now with a 1.8 and 5 spd.

 

That's the lowest milage i've heard of for a 1.8
I get 40 miles to an imperial gallon with mine and according to others they get about the same
Let us know after you get the flash done if if gets better or worse.

 

Well I headed down to the dealer today with a copy of this forum and proceeded to speak with my car salesperson. he mentioned that he had one other customer that had the stalling problem except they had to have it towed in! Guess it wouldn't start again. Probably a different problem than what we've been experiencing. We both went to see a guy in nthe service department, not the service manager but another guy from AutoCanada. Does anyone know who these guys are? He is appearently the "head dude". I gave him all the info I had and explained the problems. He took everything and said they'd get back to me. So now I wait. I was wondering Thomas, are you able let us know the name of the dealer where you had the flash performed? This way if I get any grief from my dealer, Crosstown Motors in Edmonton, I could refer them to your dealer for more information. I'll keep you guys posted!

Thxs! Carl

 

Well I took my 1.8 5spd in to the dealer along with this forum and they told me it was bull****. Could someone kill the mechanics at my dealership and replace them. Thanx
