    Hey,

    I need a mechanics report. My mechanic is up to his tits at the moment so he asked me to write it out myself and he'd stamp it, but I don't know how you word it or lay it out.
    He told me what info I need to put in it but If anybody could help me to word it, it would be much appreciated.


    Cheers

    cheers.

    Full story:

    I got a new cat for my 2001 130 bhp VW passat. 4 months later the new cat broke. They have a 24 month warranty and I'm trying to get my replacement. The supplier asked me for a mechanics report.

    Mechanic said he checked the engine mounts, gearbox mounts, exhaust brackets & there was something else that I can't think of right now. He found nothing wrong with the car that would cause a new part to break.

    So i need to put that into a proper report.

    is there a certain format it should take?

    like, mechanics address in top left/right?

    To Whom it may concern,

    I have investigated the breakage of ShayK1's new cat.
    I have confirmed that the:
    mounts
    brackets
    etc...

    are all in PWO.

    I assessed the vehicle and can certify that there is no mechanical reason for the breakage.

    There has to be a reason for the breakage, metal fatigue, poor welding, whatever....
