[Service #6 - Drop-off] March 24, 2008 - 13,015 documented miles
I took my Lotus to
Symbolic Motors in San Diego, CA for the following issues.
1. High-pitch/whistling noise from the engine around 3,500RPM -- Newport European said it's a clutch issue...
2. Engine stalling issue + Engine cutting-off with A/C on
3. Clear-bra repair/touch-up on the passenger side
I am scheduled to pickup the car on Sat. March 29th during the Symbolic Motors Event at the Service & Restoration Facility. I will miss my Lotus for a week!
[Service #6 - Pick-up] March 29, 2008 - 13,024 documented miles
1. The high-pitched noise turned out to be cracked Stage-II exhaust. Symbolic Motors replaced the exhaust to a new one under warranty.
2. The stalling issue -- they couldn't replicate the issue...
3. Clear-bra repair --
Starshield took care of it with Lotus OEM clear-bra.
In addition to these, although I have 2,000+ miles left until the next oil change, I got an oil change done any way. The car is running like new!
The day I picked up the car from the service was
Symbolic Motors' Annual Open House event.
