diagtime is dead on correct. But the use of the word "create" should really be "duplicate". If we can't duplicate a condition, we can't do squat about it. All your SA needs is L-TT-0093-12 and he/she can pull it up in TIS.

just picked up the car today and when i got home tonight noticed a few issue with the repair.
As I was backing into my garage, I noticed a clicking sound coming from the engine bay. I took a closer look and noticed that the coolant level is low. Also, a leak coming from the seal area where it seems that the work was done.
THis is very disturbing, knowing that the repair was done, but it seems that it wasn't done right.
See image. What shall i do?

Take it back. I can't see anything in that first pic but the second clearly shows coolant mixed with FIPG which means something in the front cover wasn't sealed properly. Good news is that if you don't have a check engine light by now then at least all the timing chains were set correctly, which is the most common mistake for this repair.
I hate the 250 so much.

Just so you guys have some idea of what is involved in this "repair", this is not just changing out parts. It's a total rebuild of your engine. I've included some pretty low quality pics of the process.

This is starting to be a pain. This car is such a headache! starting to want to give up on it and just let it go. . .

A tech screwed up the job. don't blame THIS ONE on the car. I'm sorry for your troubles......... if you drive it back, better watch the temp gauge and if gets even slightly over normal pull over and have it towed. towing is the safest option to begin with. You have the right to be upset....but not with the car. Let them know how mad you are. It will ensure that this time it's taken care of properly.
