What a discrace, Take it right back to them and ask them what else they forgot to fasten down!

i went back today and they put some screws.
prob just random screws but it works.

i dont know why they need to take those out to get to the TCM (DSG)
i thought they work from the bottom.

Is everything lining up correctly now? You mentioned in the first post that it looked crooked. I would expect better from the service bay at a dealer, especially an Audi dealer where they must regularly work on A8s and RS4s! This ain't no Hyundai!

nuespeed, evopms, apr, dont look for hp gains with just a cai mod. ecu reflash coupled with hexhausts, and cai, best bet. Good luck
Oh and most important dont let the stealership that forgot to put all those screws in perform any of the above formentioned mods.
