Alright 2 months ago I was in an accident the left driver side was messed up including fender,hood, bumper, HID, radiator support. This was all repaired through insurance at a VW recommended body shop. Well About 2 weeks ago someone backed into me and messed up the bumper and grille. I decided to pay out of pocket and buy a brand new bumper. I got it painted by that body shop, installed it myself with a buddy and everything was fine till the other night. I went to a baseball game and I got a warning light low coolant shut off engine now. It looks like the intercooler was not bolted up and well back which cause the fan to cut into the coolant hose. My dealer told me to have the body shop fix it since they repaired it. The body shop guys says that its my fault that the intercooler did that. He said that when I swapped bumpers I unbolted the intercooler. Is this right? I've unbolted the bumper before and it looks like you need to unbolt alot to unbolt the intercooler. Right now my car is at the body shop and hes trying to charge me for the parts and probably labor. How can I explain that its impossible to completely unbolt the intercooler with just unbolting the bumper? He called me yesterday saying he found"broken" clips that hold the intercooler on the bottom of the lip, he said its obvious that when the guy backed into my car the clips broke, how could the be there if I replaced the bumper after????????????

My fault because I accidently unbolted the bumper
