Hello burnout, my old friend.
Well, this month was straight up not fun.
Long story short, driving drained me!
Two hour commute each day, and the car with assistive systems decides to take a month long “sick leave”. Not to mention the stupidity of “winter time” with the added bonus of driving to and from work in the darkness.
This wasn’t just two hours of spare time less for frivolous things, this was two hours of attention demanding work more. I am done.
Oh, and what caused this? Clean screws:
Factory error where anti vibration glue was not applied. And god knows why a high pressure/RPM VVT system would ever need that. So it takes a looong time to get a spare part that is never ever expected to fail.
