The spark plugs were changed and i got the old ones back, they looked fine... (did they even look at the plugs?) the problem with the idle was still there so i went back again to the dealership.

After 2 weeks in the shop they called me up telling me that the spark plugs were wrong, but that was not the case. The ones installed were the replacement for the discontinued ones, which i point out. A bit awkward silence..

A week later they call me and says that one cylinder has bad compression and misfires, they sent the data to their service center and were awaiting an answer.

Anyone have a clue what is going on here?
Welcome to our forum, there MRSneaky -

It sounds a lot like the folks working on your car don't know what they are doing -

How many miles on your car? Did you buy it from that dealership? Do you have any power mods?

Hopefully someone from there service center can straighten out the situation.
