Why did they even touch the AOS while doing an IMS refit? Nothing about the job required touching the top side of the engine, let alone dropping it for the job.

Sounds like a place you should "mention" to save others the trouble of dealing with.

Best wishes on getting sorted. I'm sure it's frustrating. Stories like these just reinforce why no one touches my car with a wrench but me.

Same for me, I do all my work and I know the job was done right

IMSB would be different, since I have a Tiptronic transmission. AOS can go out at anytime, but your situation sucks.

This is exactly why I spent this morning finishing up the water pump replacement in my 996. This way I know that its done right and I can save myself all of the frustration of having to deal with some tech would couldn't gave a fuch about whether the job was done right or not.
