You remember by fan problem? The fan controls have now been rebuilt with parts for a tractor, plus some engine maintenance. Ten weeks until check up time, at which point .. who knows.
Also, earlier this week I managed to lock all my stuff in my repair shop loaner Audi .. keys .. access card … wallet .. computer .. phone. At 8 pm when everyone else had already left the office and the parking lot was empty.
Apparently the car locks automatically after some minutes if you close the back door. And I had already put my stuff in. Felt pretty unable to do anything. Can’t call a taxi, can’t go back to the office, empty parking lot, can’t get inside home even if I walked there, etc. Managed to find someone still having a smoke in the office yard to call a taxi. And my son happened to be at home so I was able to get in and pay taxi with the little cash I happened to have. And then my other son called a taxi for me next morning so I could pick up backup keys from the repair shop.
Long story but short lesson: you are totally outside the society without your phone. And never trust Audi!
