Default Problems...

Check engine light came on, went to a dealer. Supposedly my MAF sensor was gone, so I ended up changing it.
One week later my check engine light came on again, this time they said it's a thermostat sensor. I changed that too.
Again, one week later ( which is today ) my check engine light came on. I am sick of going to a dealer and paying $85 CND for diagnostics each time, plus all these parts that might not even been broken.
Does anybody in Toronto have VAG tool?
Do you guys think the dealer didn't fix the problem in the first place, and I should freak out at the dealer?
What do you guys think the problem is?
Agh, I am so frustrated...

Default I don't have a VAG tool...but..

I was just wondering which dealer do you go to?
I go to Agincourt, and my experiences there haven't been that well either. They always end up charging me for stuff that is supposively covered by warranty. Also, take a couple more hours just to change spark plugs =(

Default Downtown fine cars...

I don't have warranty, and they take forever to do stuff, so I don't let them any more. I change it myself and if I simply can't, then I find somebody else.
