The mechanic that did my T belt, decided that it would be a good time to crack the front plastic cover to me engine. . from the looks of it, i am going to have to take off the entire front end of my car to replace it because its 1 big piece that goes all the way down in front of the fans etc.

this part going to be dealership only?
anyone ever done anything like this?

yes im aware this is a stupid ******* problem

 

Why didnt he order a new cover before he put the front end back together?? Did he tell you about this before you got the car back?? He should take everything appart and replace it with a new cover for free. What an idiot.

 

It was some foreign mechaninc because i didnt have the time or tools to do it myself since im away at college.

He had glued it back together and i didnt notice until too late im afraid.

God im so ****** pissed

 

go back to him and tell him he'd better fix it

 

I would go back and see what he can do.

 

Seriously man, that is fucked up...He should have fixed it the right way. This is a Judge Joe Brown episode waiting to happen.

 

tell him to pay for that part.

btw: you do not need to do disable anything, you can install it right in there without any problem. I took it mine off before.

 

Thats right, I forgot there is an upper and lower cover and its not all one peiece.

 

haha no ****.

The only problem is it has been awhile, the T belt was done a couple weeks ago, i had jsut noticed that it was cracked and he just glued it backgoether then i look another week later and its completely gone, must have fallen out the bottom of the engine bay while driving

so im afraid hes just going to tell me to suck a big one, the mechanic is an ******* for the records
