Rear turbo coolant line finally popped all the way. My wife comes home and says the windshield washer light is on. I'm like, no. I just filled that.
I go look and it's the coolant low light. I drag her outside and ask her how that light looks like the washer fluid light and also the service msg that is in the display, "low coolant".
She's like... how the fuck am I supposed to know the difference. They all look the same! Oh really? And the low coolant msg? What's that telling you? She's says, I thought that's for the air conditioner. OMG! WTF?
So. I get my air hose and pressure test the system. You can hear the air blowing from the rear turbo coolant line. She's watching me do it and when I hear the air coming out I'm swearing cause it's a tedious job.
Then she's like.... so what, fix it. I need it later today.
me: Ummm... no. I have your e46 convertible in the garage up on stands with the motor out and parts all over.
Her: and, so? Fix it in the driveway.
Me: No. I have to drop the sub frame and replace both turbo cooling hoses. I need the car on the stands and free space. You'll have to wait till i get the e46 done and out if the garage.
Her: So tomorrow then?
Me: I still need 2k in parts to finish the e46. That's two more months of saving.
Her: two months!!! I have to drive the truck for two months!!!
Then she storms off inside mad like it's all my fault. Ugh.... and I'm the one supposed to be mad because she drove around with low coolant all day.
