No follow through... If you’re going to quit, stick with it and stay quit!I’ve given up today again. Might make a comeback tomorrow.

Its cooked as.Car went in for a recall today, some heater element needs replacing. Half way home get a warning to pull over and check coolant. No coolant, and coolant cap is sitting on top of the engine. How careless can you be to not even check with a quick once over?

Edit : And its started raining as i wait for roadside assist. And im missing the eels playing well. And they say they'll likely have to tow it and no loaner car until monday. Great end to the week.
How much warranty left on it? Get something in writing from the dealer acknowledging it had overheated and why - engine might be mostly fine but glazed bores or rings with tension effected might mean it starts using oil.Roadside guy topped it with water and said drive home but stop of temp goes up and get a coolant flush on monday. Got home ok anyway
Looks like pink coolant was splashed about so there was sone there and i got off the road about 1 block after the warning.
Its an 8 year old audi so well out of warranty. Only 60k kms on it though.How much warranty left on it? Get something in writing from the dealer acknowledging it had overheated and why - engine might be mostly fine but glazed bores or rings with tension effected might mean it starts using oil.
Or it might be fine.

Shit... Could be a bunch of things, blown water pump seals (run dry), cracked head and all sorts of ugly options... If you’re really lucky it’s cracked open a plastic part (thermostat housing or a heater hose junction etc) and it’s just parts replacement.Well thats gone well. Same warning on startup today, its empty again and a puddle underneath plus whatever is in the catch tray. Who knows what they didnt tighten or attach at all.
Thankfully the charge commuter still got me out to the gym to work it off.. Ol faithful, except the time the chain exploded on my way to the hospital with my bucket of cytotoxic waste.
Warning said turn off engine and check coolant. Last night when that came on the trmp guage qas maybe 1/3 of the way between its normal position and the red line.is it a temp light or a coolant low light that is coming up?
if its a temp light coming up on startup, that can't be a good thing!
