EGR Valve, DDE comptuer, SES iights .....

Who knows for sure, I still speculate the root issue of those head replacements was EGR related. But seemed like the dealers never really knew the reasons and more or less were tossing parts at cars.

1st day to receive the car, 2nd day to figure out what they need to do to it, 3rd day to redo what they did on 2nd day and verify it. Heck, I'll give them a full 5 days.

That sounds about right but do not forget about day 6 when you pick it up and the SES light turns on during your trip home. So you can find out next time you are there they still did the job wrong.
