    Default Z32SE Problems after service.

    [COLOR=var(--primary-text)]I've just had the thermostat, rocker cover gaskets, timing belt, water pump and a full service done. Annoyingly the car is still over cooling dropping down to it's stop on the left of the gauge and I think it has a slight misfire the garage say there are no codes showing but it's definitely there and it was fine before. It's going back to the garage on Monday. Is the Z32SE fussy about plugs? I've just looked at the bill and it's £26 for six. That seems too cheap for decent plugs to me? Also the Thermostat was only £12, again that seems too cheap. The bill came to just under £1400 so it'll be going back until it's right.

    Could be that after plug change the coil packs can be fussy and they don’t always give off fault codes, had that a few times after service or a warm restart misfire.
    is the sender unit ok or faulty, is the heater hot.

    The heater does blow hot when it's at normal operating temp but once I start moving the temp comes down and you can feel the temp from the heater cooling too. I had the diagnostic readout on the car screen and you could see the temp falling. Coil packs is a good shout he only changed one because the two new ones were faulty apparently.

    I suspect the plugs aren't up to snuff, they seem to cheap. I wish I had done it myself but in all honesty I couldn't be bothered and thought paying a specialist to do it would be better. It seems I was wrong.

    No, they seem to come on and go off as they should.
