Consumer Description

I WORK FOR A AUTO SHOP AND HAVE A CUSTOMER THAT HAS A 2000 S-TYPE AND HAS HAD SOME ISSUES WITH IT. THE FIRST TIME I SAW THE CAR IT HAD A MISFIRE AND WAS MAKING A TICKING NOISE. AFTER PULLING THE ENGINE APART I FOUND THAT IT NEEDED THE TIME CHAIN TENSIONERS REPLACED. THE NEXT TIME THE CAR CAME IN IT HAD NO ACCELERATION AND CONSTANTLY SET THE FAULT CODE AIR ASSISTED FUEL INJECTION MOTOR FAULT. AFTER DISASSEMBLING THE ENGINE ONCE AGAIN, WE FOUND FELT PACKING MATERIAL IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD THAT HAD CLOGGED THE #8 INTAKE PORT IN THE CYLINDER HEAD AND WE ALSO FOUND THAT THE TIMING CHAINS AND TENSIONERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE FELT PACKING COMES FROM THE CAR AND IS A DANGER THE ENGINE AND THE LACK OF ACCELERATION. THIS IS A DANGER AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
