Default VSA and Engine check light stays on after engine bay detail

Hello s2k guys,

like i say on the title, when car starts, engine check light and vsa light stays on.
i took it to the dealer and got fixed for the day and it came on again.
what dealer said was it is becuz water leaked into spark plug hole when detail the engine bay so it got missfiring which caused engine check light on. well they solved that problem for that night but what's up with the lights comes again?

has anyone here had same problem i had?

i dropped the car by the dealer hopefully i can pick it up sooon.

haha

good nightz!

Obviously they didn't fix the problem. Water in the spark plug hole causing misfire??? Sounds like a load of BS to me... Take it to another dealer. Is this car under warranty?
