My complaint was that my washer didn't work correctly, they claimed to have Replaced all 3 of my washer nozzles and it is clear that they didn't replace one. They made my driverside nozzle inop, they made my rear nozzle inop and my passanger side works but not very well. The tech wrote in his comments, replaced washer nozzles, but washer pump is weak. I have a warrenty, why would you not replace the pump when there is a CLEAR issue with it. I have an issue with what I susspect to be a bad thermostat because at idle I lose all heat, and they were unable to duplicate it... I can make it do it everytime by just starting it and letting it idle, then rev a little and hey look I get heat. Just everything they did was half assed I am amazed that I did get a new strut but the tech didn't care about my car and streaked his air hose across my freshly detailed car, horray.. And please, if I am out of line please tell me


Tex I'll vouche for the guys at Walser Nissan in Burnsville, very curtious and they have some damn good mechanics..

Oddball I have a friend who made a glass box there for an 8 inch w7 and it sounded really good actually, He took out the glove box on the other side and made an amp rack and i'd say it looked pretty darn good too.
Take an extended lunch break and say that your car battery died and you had to wait for someone to jump ya.

Cool, thank you for the heads up, I was going to go somewhere else, but that would be letting them win. They are going to fix my fix and fit right. I will be speaking to the Service Manager in the morning.

I took the Z out for a spin around the block, and no further for fear of death. I think my bleeder's shot cause there's def plenty of air in my lines. I tried do it myself without the bleeder a second time and no go. Looks like I might be actually taking my car to a shop to have the brakes bled.

You can't bleed them the old gravity way? Open the bleeder, let it bleed out for a half an hour and just make sure you don't run out on brake fluid in the res?

So I let them sit for the day before I bled them with bleeders open. Then I bled with my shitty hand pump bleeder, then I bled by just pumping the brake and putting the output fluid into a container with the output tube UNDER the brake fluid level in the jar (so air can't suck back in) and it's still shitty, I have to pump several times just for pressure. I'll check for leaks (should have seen some brake fluid somewhere while bleeding) and then see what I can find out. Just a little dissapointed I'm not driving the Z in today's weather. Although, I went downtown on my lunch break and took Hiawatha, and I think they mowed the median cause the road is full of grass and sand. Glad it was the mini taking that on the nose instead.
