Dealers inspected the car yesterday, fixed the gear selector and recommended the change of:

- electronic gear selector;
- engine ECU;
- full exhaust together with catalytic converter;
- Lambda sensors;
- cylinder #2 ignition coil pack;
- spark plugs;
- window regulator and motor;
- other minor things.

Total amount if the job was done could have hit $5000 easily.

Now, I understand they have to make a living and that ignition coil and gear selector can be necessary, but changing the ECU and full exhaust of an engine which runs well does sound a bit like robbing the customer, leave alone the spark plugs which have been changed barely 10,000kms ago

PS they said nothing of transmission rebuilding or fluid change, though
