Default I got my car back "FIXED"....

FIXED meaning... the same oil leak remains, the smell is still there...AND....now the CEL is on and the car periodically stalls. I spent $200 and waited 3 days...and my car came back with more problems than I took it in with. I am NEVER talking my car to a dealership ever again.

I'm supposed to drive back to school friday...wonderful.

Default I learned this long ago...

You MUST fix your own car. Diagnose it yourself and fix it. If the fix is something you don't relish doing then give it to the mechanic with detailed instructions on how to fix the problem. Otherwise it will never be done to your satisfaction.

Default I disagree a bit

I just got my 4kq back from the dealer today and Im very pleased with the results. I cant do ALL work on my car myself, Im still learning. For the stuff I dont have time, knowhow, tools and such, it goes to Audi.
Maybe its just a difference in technicians, but Im pleased where I have to take my car sometimes, it ALWAYS comes back the way it was, even better, due to the new parts installed.

Default I agree, I have had extreamly bad luck with dealers.

Most have proably never worked on a 90, and I have had cases where they outright lied to me.
