....Those are my old cheap Korean horns which packed up! I now have Italian 3-trumpet one chord horns - Loud (very, apparently) and rich sound but no tune. Very useful if having to overtake more than one car at a time etc.
Caz:
If your a ex master tech, lecturer etc etc etc.. then should you not know the ins and outs of this service?
and also, apart from causing a debate, what was your thinking in just asking for ppls views on how its been done and experiences?
iainalpine:
Caz, covering all the things i have done in my career does not mean that you should no all the "in's" and "out's". I no the technical side of this box and most of the details for the service side but im not the type of person the thinks he knows everything and by asking you may learn something along the way.
That was the idea by asking the original question and seeking the experience people have had when getting this done. Simple really.

I have seen very good garages and top class mechanics. But in this day and age the quality found in the workshop has dropped due to tighter budgets, guys on the workshop floor not getting the training or time to follow procedure and due to all this not having pride in there work. This is not the case for everyone in the workshop as i said before but you are seeing it more often than not.

....It's far too easy to think that quality has dropped "in this day and age" but I don't accept such a generalisation. There are good and bad garages in every era of time, both past and present. Similarly, there are those who currently take great pride in their work just as in the past, and neither fewer nor more.
Regarding DSG Service (oil and filter change), doesn't it either work or it doesn't? We know it follows a very specific set procedure. Do you know of any cases where a DSG Service has been catastrophic?
