Gross Technical incompetence Toyota Menlyn service

Took a Fortuner 3.0D-4D just out of warranty to Barloworld Toyota Menlyn for an engine checkup and investigating a ticking noise on the engine. They checked the engine compression, injector values etc and told us injector No4 needs replacing, compression and engine fine. R3500 later pick up the vehicle. Huge black smoke from the engine. Take it back. They admit to incorrectly connecting vacuum tubes which blew Turbo Pimp sensor. They replace the sensor. Now the vehicle runs but heavy on juice. Take the vehicle back for the problem. Now they say the injector they replaced is faulty and needs replacing again. Which they do. Problem persists. Take the vehicle back 3rd time, for fixing problem and for a major service. Now they say all the injectors need replacing. R20000 later go to fetch. Suddenly vehicle smokes like a train, makes huge clapping noise when started major issues. Take it back. Now they send it to a Bosch specialist. But instruction not to test injectors? Bosch finds loose injector, and problem in one cylinder now. So thanks Menlyn Toyota just messed up the engine. The "worst 4x4 by far" campaign will pale in comparison to whats coming your way. AVOID BARLO TOYOTA MENLYN
