driving fail on me last week. This was because I left a light on
over night a couple weeks prior resulting in the battery dying, and
then accidentally crossing the cables when I had to fishnet the
cables around the corner of the house to the vehicle we used to
jump it. This was all the way in Kamloops, and I live an hour east,
so I was sure I would have to crash for the night and have it
repaired in town. Fortunately one of my friends used his BCAA, and
we were able to get the truck (and myself) all the way back home on
the same night. Repairs cost $370 in total, but we all gotta learn
somehow, right?The_Chieftain: I've an 05 Audi S4 which I am in absolutely no hurry to sell
(Manual, of course). It's now a weekend/trip car, I commute in a
vastly more efficient and cheaper to maintain VW Diesel.However,
recently, it's been making noises, so I brought it in to the
dealer. (Given it's a relatively rare car, only 200 or so S4
Cabrios were brought in a year for the three or four years it was
in this country), I've been somewhat religious about servicing at
Audi, on the marks, and keeping all records. Turns out it's the
compressor for the AC system, which is tied into the timing chain
system. The engine is as big a V8 as they can fit into the A4
chassis, which means there's no room to work. Changing out the part
is officially some $3,000. I'm parking the car for a few months, I
think. Which is a shame, as I rather like it.
