Will you get to ride your Ski-Doo next winter ??

It will be done before you take delivery, it’s a oil calibration issue in the ECM, only takes 15min.

Seems like this happens every year. Almost think its better to grab new sleds late to save a return trip to the dealer

But if it is completed before u even take delivery, would it be part of original build and PDI rather that a Recall?
Curious mind working away?

LOL. Ha Ha

These are old sleds now , 3rd model run for the t Doo. What's changed that they need a calibration update? More or less oil?

wont be long before these machines hook to wifi and update themselves

constantly tweaking the sled to make it better through different calibrations, most is never mentioned because then negative people think the old version will break, or is bad, cause why fix it. They are always trying to make them better and the whole years is needed for that to happen so its a constant work in progress.

the oil pumps have a number assigned to them which is printed on the outside of the pump itself that relates to oil flow and the ecu needs to have the same number programmed in it to properly oil the machine.
for whatever reason, the pump number and ecu are different coming from the factory. my pump number was 5 and the ecu was set to 8.
the dealer just plugs into buds and changes the number on a menu. takes about 5 minutes.

It is a warranty recall so whether they do it at pdi or after the unit has been delivered the dealer will still get paid for it.

Sounds like there was a bit of an oil pump calibration issue and guys melting down engines?
Not a performance related recalibration?

Just got a note from the dealer saying that the missing parts for snow check sleds are now held up in Richmond because of the flooding in BC...so may be a few more weeks of delays yet.

Which dealer?

 

[Turts]

Just heard. Don’t expect my Turbo expert 165 until Xmas.
Banner in Kelowna.
Ugh

 

[banditelectric]

Turples in Red Deer

Well that sucks. Guessing those are the parts for the the sleds they currently have. I'm was told they still don't even have a delivery date for up 50 snow checks, and unfortunately our group of 4 is on that list. I guess the good part of that is they are supposed to be coming ready to roll.

 

[banditelectric]

Yeah not sure who to believe. I have from a very reliable source (from another dealer) that actually sat down and met with their Rep today that all the parts for sleds that have arrived will be at dealerships by the 27th. So guess sit back and see who is more correct. Its really not a bunch different than what is happening with trucks. Dealers are trying to do their best. However i prefer the more honest approach. Some dealers will tell you that all the components are missing just to save face when it could be all of them or just one of them. Just be honest about it. Anyone in their right mind isn't going to be pissed cause you tell them the truth....a bit disappointed maybe but at least you will know where your $20+K investment is and what's going on with it. On the other end of the spectrum I'm sure that the manufacturer themselves are feeding the dealers a line of bullch!t too.....either or just tell me exactly what you know and don't give me the company line.

Just my two cents ha ha

Well, some of this sh!t I really have to question. Like why are the parts coming from the west when Valcourt is in east? Did they train or ship them to Van for distribution? That wouldn't really make sense though seeing as how you're driving past 90% of the dealerships on the way. Did they ship direct from the manufacturer in Taiwan in a seacan? I'm legit wondering here why. Maxwell, snopro - help a dude understand this.

The sleds are assembled in the east from thousands of components manufactured all over the world. So if the gauges are manufactured overseas, than they would have to arrive at a port and get sent to a distribution centre to get delivered to the dealer.
Ever watch a parcel in transit??? I shipped something to klim years ago, and it ended up in Surrey, than Seattle, all the way to klim.
Straight shot south from Edmonton would of made more sense time wise.

Weeeeeeeeeel....to better serve the west BRP built a new parts distribution centre in Richmond, BC. This gives them 1-2 days better service on most BRP shipments. If you ever looked at a complete parts order at a dealership you may see boxes from Richmond, Sherbrooke and even Wausau, Wisconsin

Yep, up until now the Richmond distribution center has been fantastic. I can order parts on Tuesday and have them for Thursday on almost anything. (Pre angry Mother Nature) so now in this extremely rare event compiled on pandemic chip shortages were just not in great shape. Any industry
