Mine was obviously included. They must be tight then 😂😂😂 Not fussed just need them to get back to me on what oil is in the engine and to check the Aircon. They can keep their tenner if that is sorted 😉 1 Lauren reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GT86-Ian 351 Report post Posted January 27, 2020 I've been told by a Toyota mechanic that was in the process of doing this work the customer hadn't paid for the new oil filter so it wasn't changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foulsmell 120 Report post Posted January 30, 2020 Just had my 86 back today after recall work, told them i wanted the spark plugs changed when engine out.After inspection was advised that i needed a new clutch as well. Picked up today from frf toyota in swansea in for 3 days ,price for spark plug change and new clutch came to £239 all in not bad when i hear of other prices on here. Car feels different and quieter than before drove home with radio off to listen . Dealer stated that the car was due a service in april and would send a reminder to book in 3 months after a full rebuild they want to change the oil again i think i will pass . Cannot fault the work done on the car and service given by frf swansea in dealing with the recall and hope now to enjoy driving the car without anymore worries.I had exactly the same done a couple of weeks ago now. And I have to agree with you. It does sound like it’s quieter and the clutch improved. Also feels a lot sharper on acceleration probably due to the plugs. Mine would of been the same sort of price but I had an oil leak sorted out. Cam plate one. Beware anyone with this leak it isn’t usually fixed by reselling the cam plate on its own. I was told that the leak occurs further inside then the oil ends up coming out of the plate. It pools lower down in the engine then drips on to the exhaust. All sorted now but worth them having a look while the engine is out otherwise it’s costly to sort out afterwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThatGuyThere 54 Report post Posted February 5, 2020 Hi Can anyone advise on usual price for 60k service to be carried out at the same time as the recall? RRG Huddersfield are advising only a 20% discount over standard price leaving £316 to pay. I was under the impression having the engine out made this service hugely cheaper to carry out. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sam534 62 Report post Posted February 5, 2020 Plugs cost 70-90 that's all you should be paying extra. If you want a clutch that's another 190 ish. Sent from my COL-L29 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted February 5, 2020 Labour should be free on plugs and also an oil filter and oil will be included. Only extra really is diff oil which you'll have labour for. I would suggest they are over charging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikndel 509 Report post Posted February 5, 2020 So after spending the week looking at my recall letter thinking shall I or not reply I got a text from My Toyota about recall which is no mean feat as I never signed up to it at my last visit to my dealership 3 years or so ago. I took option 3 and called the number which is the GT86 recall hotline so well impressed especially as after giving them my registration I’ve been told as my car is only 1 year old and should it go Pete Tong I’m covered by Toyota 5 year warranty 😂So after flogging that horse dead and realising the person on the other end and I were not singing from the same hymn sheet I transferred to Customer Services but as I asked if they had breached any data laws by signing me up to something I didn’t agree to they were more concerned with wiping me from their records 👍 1 gavin_t reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sergeantp 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2020 Its been a couple of weeks now since the recall work and new clutch fitted, engine is a lot livelier and seems responsive but the clutch doesn't feel right, it judders in first gear in traffic and hill starts are a challenge .Is this normal with a new clutch or is some adjustment needed the pleasure that i use to have while driving as gone .Also noticed in stationary traffic oil light flickers but goes off if i blip the throttle as if the idle needs adjusting,checked oil level and is fine.Any suggestions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although Mine was perfect right from the get go. As for the oil light I would get that checked asap. Even if the idle was wrong it shouldn't bring on an oil light. I assume no leaks and all levels correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aircon is now tip top and blowing ice cold again. Unsure if it was their machine or if they were just covering not putting something back right. Either way was a bit of a pain dropping the car back again but it was fixed without too much hassle 1 Lauren reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Subota Boy 402 Report post Posted February 20, 2020 All done! The Tech spent 26 hours in total, although they can do a standard car now in around 14 hours. Car feels great so far and a little smoother. That may be the plugs. Very pleased so far. 4 GT86-Ian, Lauren, BRZ-123 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThatGuyThere 54 Report post Posted February 21, 2020 Had my recall work done by Huddersfield dealership this week. Provided a top-spec Corolla as courtesy car, communicated well, did the service and plugs (and diff oil, unlike some!) at the same time, washed the car, and charged me £130. Very pleased with the service received. Would recommend. 3 Lauren, BRZ-123 and Subota Boy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exemandr 11 Report post Posted February 24, 2020 Anyone on here living in sunny Scotland with a BRZ had the valve spring recall work carried out by Ian Grieve (Subaru Falkirk)? That is one of the closest Subaru dealerships to me and was where my BRZ was first registered (July 2012) and sold, if the previous owner is to be believed, to one of the technicians who worked there. I have had the car since Sept 2015 and it has had a fair bit of work since then including TD UEL NA package and TD Super Res Catback Exhaust, so would prefer to take it to a Subaru dealer who has a decent track record of doing the recall work on a modified car. I would be willing to travel anywhere in Central Scotland to get the work done if anyone on here can give a recommendation? Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
