Default blue marker / tape on all my pipe after returning from Diablo Audi Service for fixing my head light

just having a reality check.. does that mean the AOA perform a touch of death move on my warranty.. or is this normal for ALL S4 to have blue tape for each internal engine pipe joint?

thanks.

I thought you said Diablo did terrible work and would never go there again. Your S4 is still there?

Default insurance said i need to give them the best effort to repair / fix the problem they created.

: (

and now my car is worst then before going in.. well it is getting better.. but there is more problem. and they claim they are voiding my paint warranty because i lower my car.

those people a re a piece of work.

i am positng a new page of my permenant write up of Diablo Monkey and post in a second.

Default Obviously I can't tell unless I am looking at your car...but

There are tons of little blue paint smudges that could be found on my two S4s. I believe that most, if not all of mine were from the factory.

However, I did notice a bit of black paint on one of the ECU box screws. That was not from the factory...(btw, I also don't go to Diablo...I go to Anderson Behel)
