Posted 18/03/09 12:15 PM Share Posted 18/03/09 12:15 PM I was sceptical about where or not a workshop did my valve springs until I gave it a good hit of WOT and had no valve float. Why dont you ask for the old parts that they replaced. The workshops I go to usually leave it on the passenger seat for me when I pick up the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
