A lady I worked with checked with me on car issues. She complained to her mechanic that there was squealing coming from the engine. He said you need a new belt and tensioner. He did the work and it still squealed. She took it back and he said nothing can be done must need a new water pump. I looked - the adjustment for the belt was the manual type. I said take it back and tell him it is the manual type and to adjust it. Issue was fixed and the mechanic was embarrassed.
Somehow I don't feel bad for Audi as mentioned in the above story. I do remember the 60 minutes story on the shock oil. As I remember they went back to the station and showed the mechanic the video - he denied doing it after seeing the video. I wonder what that mechanic is doing now.
