polyteknika commented on 15 Wicked Wings for $10 (30 July) @ KFC (App)
Definitely rounded out this month.
polyteknika posted a forum topic What’s The Best Way to Spend 100k Asia Miles?
Hello Ozbargainers! I just realised my points are about to expire on April this year… and I’ve never used them before and don’t…

He didn't say there was an upfront charge. He wouldn't be in business if he did.
No attitude, I was just asking if it was fair and reasonable for the charge, given that he could not find the leak itself. If he found the…
Petrol. No, he didn't say anything.
Because the actual leak is somewhere under the engine (where I can't see). I can only see the coolant pouring onto the ground, but the…

dontboopthesnoot on Mechanic Wants to Charge for Taking a Look at Coolant Leak
dontboopthesnoot on Mechanic Wants to Charge for Taking a Look at Coolant LeakI paid the $100, and moved on.
No white smoke so hopefully not the gasket. For $100, I think the mechanic could've at least told me where the leak was, or a photo of the…
I removed the plastic top of the engine and did not see any leakage. It is a consistent drain, not a drip.
Not milky.
Yeah it consistently drains on the floor like a tap, not dripping. He definitely did not use a remote inspection camera, or pressure test…

lovesabargain77 on Mechanic Wants to Charge for Taking a Look at Coolant LeakYes, but the only thing on my mind was to get it to the closest service station, since the engine temp was going above 120 degrees.
It only loses coolant when I turn on the car, but it drains pretty quick.
Like I said before, it was the closest car service station due to the engine overheating. I'm not sure why you would go out of your way to…
He did not. In fact, I can start the car with the coolant cap off.
When I pour water in, the reservoir goes down. However, the car does not leak until I actually turn on the car.
Merc CLA class
Only starts losing coolant after I turn on the car.

The problem was not diagnosed. I would've paid for his time if he actually knew where the leak was.
For those that asked, the car is a Merc CLA class. It only starts leaking coolant when I turn on the car, but when I refill when the car is…
Noted for next time
I understand your point, but the fact is they couldn’t find the leak. That’s my main gripe. If they found the issue, and I thought the…
Sorry misworded, the photo of the leak. Supposed work was what I meant
No, I parked the car on the side as soon as I noticed the engine was overheating. After noticing the coolant pooling, I walked 40 mins to…
Even though I didn’t get the desired outcome of knowing where the leak is or a fix, I have paid the mechanic for his time. I have…
and also the engine temperature was overheating
its coolant leak because my engine temperature was overheating.
No it was already draining below as soon as I poured distilled water/coolant in.
