Re: new boot joints and rubber burning odor

by faith20879@[EMAIL PROTECTED] Apr 9, 2008 at 07:32 AM

Hi all,

This is an update.  BTW, I learned the boots are for the CV joint.  I
could see them under from bending over the engine.  Sorry about the
wrong info I gave out earlier.

I took the car back to the shop Monday morning.  The guy apologized
profusely and promised to get it right.  By the evening, after he put
in a new set of boots, tightened up whatever were loose before, gave
me a free oil change, and took it for a road test, he declared the car
was now problem-free.

On the way home the car was fine.  But Tuesday the rubber burning
smell returned, though not as strong.  I first smelled it through the
vent when stopped at the traffic light.  I thought maybe it was the
residual but it persisted after 50 miles and 24 hours.

I took it back to the shop again this morning.  The guy again
apologized profusely and said he couldn't think of what to say except
to take another look.

I left the car there but I have no confidence on this guy now.  What
would you do?

Any opinion will be greatly appreciated!


Faith
