Default Quick question about the dyno

Hey guys
I have spoken to you guys about getting the Performance service done on my wagon at my next scheduled to try and sort out my starting problem.

But i thought id ask on here because i may get other opinions too...

part of the service includes the car being hooked onto a dyno.

Is there any risk to my car and what happens if something goes wrong?

I may have been watching too many youtube clips haha

Thanks, and i must say on every occasion i have been in contact, you guys have been more than helpful and im sure it will be worth the drive and the $$.

When you say something go wrong, like what are you reffering too??
Really not much would go wrong with your car unless there was already a issue with the car. The best thing about a dyno is that you are watching what the car is doing and you can pull out of the run.

i mean some component in the car not liking being loaded up and breaking, or the car coming loose or something like that.

im probably being over cautious but i gotta ask and i know it wont happen but still haha.

Well if something was to come loose its already loose and better it comes off on the dyno than on the road at 100km

I dont really think you need to worry about loading up the car as forced induction cars would be loaded 100% more than your car..

At the end of the day we are just driving the car you give us.. as long as the car is maintained correctly there will be no problems..

When referring to "You Tube" vid's, they could be MONSTER engines with the tuner trying to squeeze out every last kw with out knowing the engine or a poorly trained tuner with sub-standard equipment.

The dyno is basically a safer and controlled way to test your car without being on the road.

I remember Chris saying before putting my car on the dyno, either get in the car or get outside the factory!

A dead or injured customer doesn't pay! (Especially with a broken car!)
