So on Friday, I took daisy to the mechanic who claimed he worked on plenty of beetles and my small coolant leak should be no issue. Well the job that they said should be done on Friday was still not done yesterday. They kept saying the thermostat housing needed replacing and they were having a difficult time getting said part. So I drove my happy behind to the auto parts store and bought the thermostat housing. Well when I arrived at the shop with said part, they said "oh, that's not it. This is what it is." So I see the part and decide I'm going to call the vw dealership and see if they have this part. They talk to the mechanic for about 5 minutes, figure out the part and then tell me it's at their dealership and they will hold it for me. So I then drive my brother's gas guzzler into lexington to the dealership and pick up my part, which happened to be a coolant flange and not a thermostat housing. I drive back to the mechanic and then wait for what feels like forever to get my car fixed. The mechanic then pulls my car out and tells me my oil light is on but my car is full of oil so he doesn't know why it is. He thinks it's because he had to make the car hot to be able to fix it. So, me being the car incompetent person that I am, say I will call in the morning if the light is still on when I head to school. I head home then and realize my radio no longer works and my clocks are all messed up. Anyway, at this point it was late and I decided to just worry about it in the morning. Enter cussing and irritation. :cuss:
So this morning, my mom starts my car and asked me if the temperature light always turned on. I asked her if it was blue, yellow, or red. She wasn't sure so but thought it was red and said she'd go check, the light was off when she went to check. So I drove it to school and it was all fine and dandy through my tiny town and then suddenly it beeps and the red oil comes on and the blue temperature gauge starts flashing. It suddenly turned off so I figured it must be a fluke. Well then my heat, which worked fine up until today, stopped working and just blew cold air. So now I'm thoroughly frustrated and have no idea what's going on with my car. Does anyone have any clue as to why all of this is wrong?
Sorry for the whole book I wrote, I'm just ready for daisy to be herself again! :banghead:
