Name that weird sound - APR CPS maybe?

maybe it's all post processing (cheater . Anyway, good to know you get what I was saying.

haha ... well I enjoy the post processing phase much more than the "perfect photo" phase ... I do design as another hobby so this is how I "mix and match" both. I got the basics of taking a photo/composition etc. but I do not worry myself with perfecting the shot ... at least not yet ... just having fun with various "looks" for a photo etc.

I know it's possible without any formal training or classes.

Yep ... for example if you get the Nikkor 70-200mm 2.8 ... I think you must TRY REALLY REALLY hard NOT to make a perfect portrait photo/bokeh. But then I still want to make the photo more "artsy" with post processing ... that seems to excite me more for some reason :)

But ya, get to know things like the CPS that integrate with coolant and fluids because that's all maintenance related stuff. If it was a flash or an exhaust which is kinda "set it and forget it" type mod, then ya, no worries. Also, don't harp on the Audi maint guys too much if they did screw up something on the CPS unless it'll cost you money to fix and APR won't cover it. But the next time you go in for something like this in relation to an aftermarket mod that's within the system they'll have to touch, make sure you prep the mechanic on how everything is layed out, so it makes sense to him/her and they take those changes into account when fixing the OEM side of the issue. Remember that these mechanics don't spend time reading about aftermarket setups to know to recognize them when someone comes in with them, they just go to "hold my hand" Audi school and only know what the boot taught them and nothing more. Most of them are like robots in that sense... which in my opinion is a bad thing because it leads to issues like this. I think more of them should read up and familiarize themselves with aftermarket options if they're going to work on cars which have an aftermarket following. It would make them that much more valuable to a shop/dealership.

Will do ... and I do agree on the aftermarket reading for both me and the service reps in general ... in my case since I am still not 100% it is something they did we will see on Monday :)
