Not so, Tom.

The CPS was changed in this case by removing and reinstalling the  
timing belt, which means the mechanic should have caught the bad  
pulley if it was prior
damage.  If not, it was damaged on reinstallation.  You only assume  
at this point that the CPS was not faulty, and the valves were bent  
before, not after the
timing belt was removed and replaced with the CPS change.

I am still on that road - the dealer owns the bag unless they can  
show otherwise.

If you had seen Dr Molk's car, you would have been out of sorts as  
well.  There were few cars with that low mileage and pristine  
condition around at that time,
and Hoffman did not step up to bat until management stepped in- the  
service manager was the obnoxious party.

"Pristine".  HA!

Rich Molk's car was a roach.  Low mileage maybe, but neglectfully owned
/ driven by his wife.  Maybe the car was solid, maybe, but it was pretty
tattered looking.  And yes, Hoffman is a bunch of fools.  Oh, he lives
in CT, not Chicago, and Hoffman is here.  He's got a V70R now, looked
near as ratty already.

ANYway...

Regardless, I agree with the Tom's here.  Dave you got to put gun to
their head on this one.  Something's seriously f'd with their diagnosis
/ remedy / outcome.  They  need to make right.

Good luck.
