Ok here I go; last week I posted a message about my ACE light coming on Amber and stayed like that until I restarted the truck 15 minutes later.
I took it to the dealer and they ran diagnostics and found nothing. Since I it's a matter of time before it happens again I asked the about servicing the system and the service advisor told me the following: First he said that "they never done that" later when I got a call to pickup my rig he said that he "put something together" to service the system and the cost will be $265.00. Very kindly I said no and headed to pick my truck.
I walked thru the back of the dealership into the parts department and asked the guy how much is an ACE filter. He said "What is that, we don't have that? what is it for?" Then I said that I have a truck with ACE and explained the situation. Other guys gathered around and kept asking why this and why that. I said that I read a lot and someone on the web suggested that I change the filter and fluid. Again they said that we don't have to do that! and never to believe everything that you read!!
I asked one of the master mechanics if he can take a drive to see if feels anything wrong with the truck and he kindly said yes (he is one of the good guys). While driving I asked the question to him and he said that they never had to change a filter. He said only trucks in UK have to do that. NA trucks equipped with ACE don't have filters!!!! He explained the different components on the ACE system. So I told him that many LR owners suggest to change the fluid and filter even before sign of trouble. After the ride I look under the passenger side and saw the machined box with the Hex opening to replace THE FILTER.
Since I bought the truck I have learned a lot by reading on this board and some others.
Everyone in the world suggest to change the the fluid and filter What's wrong with this picture? By the way I asked the service advisor what was included on the "package" he said to flush out the old fluid and put new one in. I said I will think about it and walked away.
Am I cursed?
Thanks
