We'll see after I take my car in on Monday. I had a crazy issue over the last few days with huge power loss (limp home mode engaged?). So the list of things I need checked, fixed, and changed on Monday goes like this:
Brake pads (0%,0%,5%, 5% lol) and maybe even rotors
4 new tires (not going on the highway with the dead ones I have)
Stuck lifter (can't leave it any longer, this one is the killer)
Knock sensors (CEL, price++)
O2 sensors (CEL, oh god more $$)
Battery (toast, damnit, $$)
Alternator check, then mod if it checks out OK
Odd power loss issue (?)
Rear wheel bearing they fixed is acting up after about 1000 km, though I instructed them not to use packing grease, etc
3 Windshield chips, no more highway damage please
3 new wiper blades, as metal on window wont cut it for trans canada in the rain
The price tag on this is going to cripple me. I *just* had enough for tires then the gas and food for the trip, but this may be the end of me with the battery dying and the rest of this crap happening at once.
...not to mention all the small stuff like, I won't have time to flat-black the wiper arms, sand and have the spoiler sprayed, get a beauty skirt for my head unit and a DIN pocket for the gaping hole, escaine cleaner needed, car shoots white smoke on startup, back wiper nozzle nonfunctional, droopy visors, busted ashtray, and so forth.
