Pics of all the problems I've had since I took my car to the dealership. Took it in for a coolant tank crack, left with $2700 less and a car that shudders at a rough idle.

This was what I went into the dealership with: coolant leak, a "low oil" light that came on just the day before, and a hair clip stuck in the seatbelt.

I came back two days later with a horrible engine shudder and was told all of my aftermarket spark plugs needed to be replaced and were causing misfires. Mind you, this was NOT a problem 3 days prior. They suggest I spend another $1100 to replace #4 fuel injector, which ended up not even being the problem >:)

End result was this monolithic write-up almost BLAMING me for them screwing up my car. Note, car drove great 2 weeks prior and their answer was that there is a manifold air leak and the car had already self-corrected but those corrections were lost when they cleared the codes... convenient.

A8L AirBox - The accordion connector was disconnected with about a 1/2" gap at the top.
