well finally after a week and half of sitting at the dealer, the TT was checked out.
for those of you that didnt see my initial post....i didnt see a huge puddle and drove through it too fast. Well water went straight up my EVO cold air intake and into the motor. The car died on me and so i had it towed to the dealer the next morning....

Yesterday my Service advisor called me to say that they had to drop my oil pan and it would cost me $300. Today he called me and said that they took a bunch of stuff apart and found water in the motor, the plugs and who knows where else....they got the car started and it was running really rough (putting).
well now he says i need new plugs-$316 and maybe a new air flow sensor, another $400....

how does this sound to you all.... am i getting scammed, is there anything i can check to verify the work, will the car run the same again...????

any advice would be appreciated....TIA

Holy mother of G-d... 316 for 12 bucks in plugs! And 400 for an maf?

RGilTT

what about the maf...isnt there another cheaper alternative...?

And so it that price for the MAF.

says the car went into limp mode and so they need to do a bunch of BS!!!!

Has anyone ever had a dealer without the side of crap????

I dont know what to do...but i know i am getting scammed...

Tow it to another dealer. That's bs. Clear the codes is 10 seconds.

It varies depending upon where you shop for them. Recently I paid 12$ Canadian for one

You're getting ripped...or the dealer is just a dick...or both.

the lowered compression could explain the rough running. I'd have them do a compression check before you put any money into it.

Good call.
