Got the S4 back from the dealership.

Some stuff fixed, a little bit not fixed, and now a new problem.

First off, I LOVE factory warranties, you can bring your car in every week and have all the little things fixed free of charge, its great! I need to look into an extended warranty, because I want to be able to do this for the life of the car if I can!

Almost all of my warranty items are little, but hey, if its free use the crap out of it I say!

So this time around here is what I had fixed;

• Milky chrome trim replaced with shiny perfect chrome trim. (This was a decent sized job, as all the windows had to come out of the doors, panels off, special side airbag seals replaced, etc.)
• creaking coming from underneath car (turns out it is the left front wheel bearing, and they said they couldnt hear it, hah!)
• Glove box lid replaced (the right hing was starting to break, replaced for free, solid!)

Now the things they couldn't / didn't fix.

• The 2nd gear stickyness when you are powershifting into 2nd from 3rd or 4th. Basically they say that is normal in all S4's, and that even if it wasn't it wouldn't be covered under warranty because it is just an adjustment issue. Whatever, no biggie, I want to get a short shift kit anyway!

NEW problems that just showed up.

• Something is awry with my power steering now. At very low speeds it goes from super soft to less soft, and makes a groaning noise. Its not horrible, and its not consistent, if I had to hazard a guess I would say the power steering belt is slipping. maybe its a tensioner, maybe its some grease on the belt, either way its going back to have them figure out the issue and fix it!
