1st Check Engine Light came on tonight ...man am i pissed!

the car has about 38k so far and its been bought in feb 2003 but has spent about 7 weeks in the shop. :(

oil changes and all other maintenance done at correct intervals


things already went wrong:

engine vise:

airbag light x2

pvc valve, then the whole intake system (they didnt know what was wrong so they tinkered alot) there was a muffled knocking sound from teh engine (surprisingly there was no cel)

now again i have shaking at idle once in a while (changed fuel brands from esso to sunoco, and its the same) this has been goin on for about a month but is irregular, so i dont think the dealer will say anyhting about it but it could be the reason for the cel


cosmetic:
shifter knob

carpet-complete (im getting thining at areas again...**** in my 89 jetta i didnt even use mats and all it needed once in a while is good vacuming and looked new

glovebox


plus my toyos were worn down by 28k rotations and all (i do not abuse my car, more than the average guy)...fak .....etc...etc

theres other things im missin now but ill rememeber, i wanted to start a notebook with all the history but nevr got around to it...too late

Man that is a drag. Inform us what the problem is when you get that engine light sorted out. Good Luck. One thing I did when I bought my M3 was get the extended warranty. I never bought one before, but for some reason I thought what the hell and got it. for $1,100 for the 6 year or 160,000km it wasn\'t bad!
