need some help...i had the water pump fail on me im at 54k <kinda long>
so i figured this would be a good time to replace the TB...
*note* i have dying k03's, siren noise, no smoke.
i had the coolant resevoir changed too.
about 20 minutes in to driving home i start hearing weird noises like somethings loose and when i get home the car sounds like a tractor, a real heavy lifter sound and a bit of what seemed like the fan... another friend with an S4 met up with me, we checked the oil, i was down 1 and half qt.s ... topped off oil, noise was still there.
So now im freaked out,dont know what to expect was wondering if anyone can give me a heads up, i am going back tomorrow and hoping for the best..

Did you pull the pin on the tensioner after installing it?
I would not drive the car until you've broken everything down and inspected everything you touched. Somewhere along the way you goofed.

a 25 minute drive (highway) and they expect me back there tomorrow morning... and ill have to ask in regards to the tensioner
Do you think its better off not driving it in?

Don't drive it!! Have them send a truck, if not make sure that you get it in writing
FAX or something that they told you to drive it in, even when you said that something is really not right.
