after constant nagging and complaints from rangers owner, sdac finally decided to review the maintenance costs



Changes we can see is reduction from 9L to 7L, removal of nonsense charges such as commonrail clean. smile_thumbup.gif

The photos of rusty injectors, 1st of all are those photos belong to local owner? Did the owner often go wading in deep water with his Ranger? Even cars back in 60's and 70's where anti-rust technology was still primitive don't get rust that fast.

It could be either some competitor bought the Ranger and on purpose soak the injector part with water to culture the rust. You want to make a metal rust faster, you just have to remove the grease laminating the area with special detergent and make sure it is wet at all times.

It is possible as the wealthier competitor could easily invest RM100k to get a brand new Ranger to tamper with something bad to cause more unusual wear and tear. No doubt, that should be it. The new Ranger project development is partially handled by kiasu Aussies that would make sure things go right and pushed to max. Having such problem is totally suspicious for a pickup with that much effort placed.

Regarding the service cost, whether it is that expensive is a question mark. I used to own Ford back then and sent to SC for service even for once that has no warranty, they don't charge that expensive after all. The older Focus '03 that was CBU with parts imported from EUrope, only the imported parts were expensive due to tax but labour charge, oil change, fileter that was marked up still not that way expensive. I don't heard Thais having such complain at all, how bout locals, I don't find them complaining on forums in AW and others much.
