bitching
OK, slight bitchfest ahead about the car. I think I just have a few nerves since I got called in for a second interview this afternoon with the other two owners of the company, but I think some miffed-ness is valid too.
So, car went in and got the water pump replaced on Friday. Told there was a pump leak. Coolant light had been on, and coolant light was off once fixed. YAY.
But! We get the car back and Matt noticed a wet floor on the passenger side on Sunday. Well, it's raining, and I'd been riding on that side so I figured it was from my boots. Then today I notice my purse is damp from sitting on the floor. No one had been on that side of the car, so I check it out. A nice big wet spot is under the floormat. SOAKED. The mat itself is just damp. No sign of leakage from the sunroof and no wetness on the seat. Hmmmm.
I use my hand and it seems clear. But when I rub it there are suds and film. I call Saturn anyway and was told there is "no way" this "can be related" to the pump. OK. They say a sunroof clog can cause water to run under the car, which could be true. *shrug*
Well, I decide to go use a light towel and sure enough, the fluid is red. Before I make another call, I open the hood and check the coolant which is, waddia know, almost empty and red.
I call Saturn back and the dude seems miffed too. Slightly, but I can hear it. Matt will bring it in on Thursday b/c I leave tomorrow for TX. In the meantime the tech says to put water in the coolant reservoir and not drive much.
I don't anticipate issues, but I fear them after our Oakland incident. I won't be having that again. I'm no expert and I'm open to them explaining things to me, however, given what I do know I find it hard to believe this is unrelated to the last issue or fix. We'll see if they stick to that once the car is in. I do not believe this was occurring before the fix---I think this because I put my purse on that spot all the time and it was not wet until today. Anyway.
And now to ready for the next interview! She said to prepare to talk wages, so, I think this is good. Letting go of frustration, and letting in good energy.. ~*~*~*~*~*
BYE!
