That's what he just said could be a problem. How do you know your oil pressure switch is faulty?

replacing rear brake cylinders by alfalfa328
Sep 26, 2006 (4:10 pm)
I have a 2002 Malibu. The rear brake cylinders are beginning to leak. I need to replace them. Chevrolet rear brakes used to have hold down springs. However, recent GM vehicles have a curved steel bar that acts as a hold-down. The last time I took one of these off, I had a devil of a time trying to reinstall it. If you have any suggestions for this please respond.
 
Thanks, alfalfa 328

Seeing as the oil pressure switch is suspect why don't you go ahead and change that as well? Can't be too expensive. It's better than being stranded somewhere far from home.

how dealers vary wrt the same repair request by kurtamaxxxguy
Sep 30, 2006 (7:28 pm)
still trying to get the stupid tech bulletin fix for my front end done:
 
dealer 1: kept car for a day (I had to pay for transportation rental), claimed they could find nothing wrong. Return visit had dealer service rep claiming they would do the bulletin provided the parts had not been previously replaced. 2nd return visit with proof of earlier repairs showing part numbers were different brought denial from the writer who then said the service manager had to clear it and he was only there on weekdays.
When I asked the dealer to do the repair and I would pay for it, they said no dice, as their belief was I could then claim warranty against them after repair was done (huhhhh? If I __ask__ a dealer to do something and __authorize__ them to do it while paying them to do it, I see no way I could claim anything other than parts warranty for work they did).
 
dealer 2 also could find nothing wrong, but said they would do work if asked and paid. Bill was estimated for $400. I said I would wait and see how this repair actually held up.
 
dealer 3 is in progress now via a more helpful writer; will hopefully have results to tell by end of week.
