Oi.
UPDATE: About my previous post: Reverse Gear hard to switch
Got my car back last week after the week long ordeal. What took the most time was that the speedo sensor was literally fused to the engine block. That took forever to remove.
Anyway, the shop acknowledged that they damaged my reverse light switch and covered parts and labour (they could not remove the sensor so they used the switch to pour in tranny fluid!). They also covered the shipping costs for the new speedo sensor as it had to flown in from Edmonton!!!! I left with a $228.00 CDN bill parts included. Not bad. Although I also had given the shop $513.00 CDN for the bearing and wheel job.
Since then, the car had developed an annoying scraping sound from the passenger front wheel. Only present when the brake was depressed.
The shop felt that it was the brake shield (?) rubbing against the back of the disc. I don't think they even had time to look at it.
I just pulled the wheel tonight and looked at the shield. It is badly corroded. What is this for? I bent it back a little and did a test drive. Problem gone! .......but after a few minutes of brake usage it returned. Any ideas? I notice that the sound is gone when the car is first used...however returns after a tries on the brake.
