At 93k on the Td6 it was time. I get it. Been riding around with a CEL for months. I knew what it was. Soot build up, etc. etc. Hopefully this will get me through another 80k or so miles.
Also coincided with the need for a new battery. These AGM's aren't cheap yo. Again, a once in a few years thing.
One thing the mechanics inspection found was the front driver lower rearward control arm balljoint seal is torn leaking grease, The recommended solution is to replace the entire control arm??? Anyone dealt with this??
Yes, nearly 100k for a control arm isn't unusual on any vehicle.
How much is 'expensive' for the battery? A high quality AGM with 3 year warranty is something in the $250 range. And about a 5 minute job to replace. What did you pay?
