Here in NYS a car newer than 1995 won't pass inspection if it has an emissions warning light on. There is supposed to be some sort of exception for some vehicles, but in the real world it never happens. So up here, we're real familiar with those pesky yellow "Check Engine" dash lights. My experience is this- 95% of the stuff I can take it to my trusted local garage and good old Wayne will diagnose the issue and usually get it figured out PDQ. The other 5% you have to take it to the dealer and let them put it on their machine that has the super secret codes. Then you shell out a gazillion dollars and 50% of the time they'll get it fixed, but there's only half a chance of that! :shock: Then we take it back to Wayne and he'll repair what the dealer (Ford) screwed up and finish putting the car back together. Last time it was a shield of some sort under the car they didn't re-attach.
That's pretty much the way it runs for me. It's partly just that particular Ford dealer who is looking like he's slowly letting the place got to pot. There's a Chevy dealer nearby that has a really, really good rep, but he's God awful expensive and you have to be pretty well off to buy one of their cars- whatever the sticker says, that's what you pay.
Actually, none of this has anything to do with the OP and his diesel problem, but auto repair issues bring out the whiner in all of us! :lol:

Value has come down this winter. An example is the Ford Model A and T cars that went through this in years ago, along with the hit & miss engine. Will the younger generation move on to something else? Will it be harder to sell them and what models will be affected? Could we see the value crash on our rusty relics?
