Default Taking bets....

Dropped car off at dealer this morning. Their FINAL chance. If this goes as bad as the other times, I am never taking it back.
In for 50K service, oil change and I have asked them to replace a fraying boost hose coming from the front of the intake manifold.

As usual, Service Advisors are cool....Now lets see what their technicians do. I even brought two boxes of KK's as a offering of good faith.

Default My prediction....

you'll pop the hood to find McDonald's straws daisy chained from the manifold nipple to the BPV.

Default You should have given them one box

when you first brought int he car, and a second when picking it up. The second box would have Ex-lax covered donuts, and you would give it to them if they did insufficient work.

Default omg! that's what i had in my car!

There was a straw connected between the 2 ends of the vac line from the intake mani to the bpv. I replaced it this past weekend and i was like wtf?!!? I guess it snapped and the dealership just stick in a straw to reconnected it line.
