good point - especially if hes using an oiled filter

might be worth cleaning it... see if it helps

unfortunately, where ever you go your gonna be paying around $80 - $100 an hour for labour

saying that tho, with the rough diagnosis you have given us...the workshop would have a better idea of whats going on. might be able to rule it out and then you just pay for the part and fitment.

It's likely something small such as the AFM and wont cost you a kidney

A new AFM is like 600 bucks, in Asia you could get a kidney for less

Who said I was being serious about buying a new one, as opposed to discussing waking up in a thai ice bath with stitches and one less kidney?
