Quick question

[1traitor]

So I got my car back from the dealer today after it being there for about a month they changed my dme and fuel pressure sensor and they used some sort of orange marker to mark every sensor under my hood and my car didn't have that before so I was wondering if anybody knows where I can get that same color marker so I can put my intake back into my car and re mark the screws

They are obviously trying to catch you installing aftermarket parts. They must figure your aftermarket parts caused the issue.

Yeah I figured as much but I just wanna install my intake again because I know that isn't what caused the problem so I'm just hoping somebody knows where to get this marker

I agree they might be trying to catch aftermarket parts. Really untrustworthy business practice though.

Looks like an orange paint pen. I'd bet you can find on through the local parts store or online --> https://www.google.com/#safe=off&q=orange+paint+pen

And W/O knowing what brand the tech used, you can not get the exact same color. And there is no standard pen used.

Well thanks and I hope I can find one similar enough

That's pretty ridiculous, I'd actually complain about that.

If it's under CPO (which I bet it is) then I wouldn't poke the bear. I bet they replaced things basically to appease the customer. They probably could have dug deeper and voided the warranty if they wanted to spend the diag time. But being diag isn't paid enough, why bother loosing money.
Just grin and accept that you got free work.


And to not mar the paint, maybe try a paper towel and 1 size smaller Torx to remove the screws. If they are snug it should work.

You are correct and I am pretty sure they did do the work to please me cause I'm sure they could've voided if they did dig deeper and thanks for the advice I'm not trying to poke the bear or anything I just want my intake back on for the whoosh noises lol
