My fears were just reinforced. Car was supposed to be ready today, service advisor was supposed to take car home, return today and call me to pick up the car. I arranged my schedule to allow for this. Instead, I had to call, turns out it threw another code regarding exhaust valve timing. Advisor never took it home, never called me to let me know. I went by the dealer to see how things were going. I talked to the tech working on the car. Very nice guy, lots of experience but absolutely zero on a boxer engine. Never been to training. He feels that the engine will throw another code. Car will sit all weekend waiting for the RTV to dry that holds timing cover on. He described his mistake putting the exhaust gear on wrong. He is worried about the cover holding or the RTV blocking any oil passages. I also saw two small paint chips right at the front of the car on the leading edges on the lowest section. They told me they were already there. Not true. Tech went on to say that the ECU reflash is going to be the answer, but they can't do it. ECU replacement would work in his words. Therefore, my natural question was, You have this on order? Of course they don't. This was the second time I have asked them specifically and they still don't have it on order. Car has been at the dealer 3.5 weeks now.
What to do now? I guess I wait until Monday for them to call me maybe
