Well, here's the latest. All I'm replacing is a cracked EGR hose, which had nothing to do with the problem itself. 90+ bucks alone, but I chalk it up to wear and tear. No problemo. The noise has died down extensively since this morning, and they attribute it to the fact the car didn't have the right oil. They also commended me for bringing it in so quick.
My total bill: 157+ taxes. Not bad for an oil change, EGR hose, and labour on replacing said hose. They need to eat too, after all.
Now comes the fun part. I had asked them to do an alignment on the car while it was there. They've said there is an issue with the rear camber on the Focuses that they're aware of, but the worn tires are on the front.
They told me I need to replace the tires, but seeing as I was sold the car only 4 months ago and put only 4000KMs on the car since, I told her I was really upset I'd have to pay for new tires already. The service advisor was going to pull the deal to see what was done to the car prior to delivery to me, and to check the mileage. Methinks I'm getting a new set of tires for free :D
