Default NEWBIE NEEDS ADVICE...

so i had a samco hose replacement done at a dealership, and an APR Bi-pipe put in too.... they returned my car with 6 hoses not installed. i no exlanation regarding the left over hoses. i then went to another dealership and asked like i wanted to get the same thing done and drilled them about left over hoses... the second dealership said the only hoses left over would be the ones that were not needed for the new bi-pipe as APR sends their own. all other hoses would be installed. i then brought my car back to the first dealership and left it to have them install the 3 other hoses ( F hose, and two others that go under engine) i rushed out with a loaner and again no explanation... then the guy called me today to say that the hoses are smaller than the ones installed.... i feel like he ****ed up and now doesn't want to put in the other hoses cuz it would be too much time lost on his part. anyone with knowledge of Samco hose replacement please advise... Feeling Fuct

i think you should install your own hoses and do it right..

Default <rolls eyes> relax dude .. apr bipipe eliminates the need for AT LEAST 3 hoses

then if u don't have an F hose, 2001 and later that's 4 leftover hoses...APR DV hoses are much better anyway! and i guess they left out the hard to reach hoses connecting to the turbos. next time find a good independent audi shop near you to do the work .. oh try better engrish next time and post a picture of what you are trying to describe

Default Re: NEWBIE NEEDS ADVICE...

thank you everyone for the advice... sorry about my engrish... lol it was a long day for me yesterday and i wasn't going to spell check. i know for a fact the "F" hose is one of the hoses not put in. the other hoses i feel that should've been installed were pointed out to me by the 2nd dealership's tech who had the my car up on the lift. he removed the undercarriage/oil pan plastic shell and pointed out the two other hoses. i really think the 1st dealership is just lazy and doesn't want to fix their **** up. thanks again everyone.

Default i think they did u a favor if they didn't put them in &charge you for the install of the other

hoses ,it very time consuming ! and if stock hoses are there is no reason to change them .
my 1/2 cent.
