...well, they've got a good group of guys workin for them. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile_smoking.gif And I must say, for my first WEEK of membership, I've been treated quite nice. They were kind enough to pick me and my car up off the side of the road, and transport us both the 100kms to my dealer where my car is currently having the AC Compressor replaced. AS WELL AS.... getting a new belt and pre-tensioner pulley /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burningmad.gif Gotta say, I can laugh now, (until I see the bill this afternoon that is /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif) but if anyone was wondering why I was absent yesterday.... well, to be honest, I just couldn't bring myself to talk about it. After 3 DIFFERENT mechanics looked at my engine, and ALL of them saying, "it's OK to drive, but you'll want to get it fixed before the summer." (/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/fuck_you.gif) My compressor completely seized up at around 0700 yesterday morning, I had NO CLUE anything was wrong, until, going down the Autobahn, my Battery warning light comes on :smashfreak: OK, odd, I thought. My first reaction being that the engine stalled somehow, so I turn off the key, and then quickly restart the engine (@ 160 kph /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif) THEN it hit me, the engine WAS running /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif [censored]!!, must be the belt /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Since I was right at my exit, I turned off the Autobahn and drove about 3kms to a nice, wide shoulder area. Hit the blinkers, got out the triangle, etc, etc. And POPPED THE HOOD /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif Well, there was shredded and melted belt everywhere. Luckily, it didn't sever completely, so my hoses were all still attached, but there was a nice bit of smoldering rubber on my AC Clutch, and my pre-tensioner pulley was toasted. The ADAC mechanic and I figure if I'd have tried to drive the reamining 10kms to my workplace, I prolly could've caught the bitch on fire /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Anyway, I'll be working the next 2-2 1/2 weeks for free, but I won't have to worry bout my compressor anymore /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
