It's supposed to be 61 degrees here on Monday... I guess it would be wierd if I went to the dealership and asked if I could wash my car...
Oh, how it hurts me so!

Not even close! Northern VA. It's been ridiculously cold here, like everywhere else...
But I checked the forcast and they said 61 degrees for Monday! I can't believe it either!
Even though my car is without Coil Pack, I really wanna wash the layers upon layers of salt off of it.
It's been dirty for SO long.

Well, that's a guess...
I talked to the service rep today, and he said they're expecting a shipment next week sometime...
Realistically, I'm expecting the shipment to come in sometime late next week...
Then they have to start all of the other items I want checked out/repaired... Then they will do the 20k service.
Or the other way around. Either way, it might be a while.
I'm serious about washing the car though.

This might sound a little wierd...
But given the memorandum that went out to all dealerships concerning the CP replacement, especially the part about only replacing ALL of the CPs if a second one fails... I'm kind of hoping that when they do finally get around to putting a new CP in my car, they start it up and another one blows! lol... They'd be forced to replac all four, although since I wasn't there to witness it, they might not... hmm...
It very well could happen though. My car will have been sitting in the cold for over a week w/o being started... if there's any truth to the cold stressing the CP theory.

Ed P mentioned that it is related to frequent heat-cycling...
another words, frequent starts in cold weather, then running at normal (high) engines temps, and then cold weather starts again, and so on...
By the way, I did read of someone's case where the second CP failed on their way back from the dealer after they replaced the first CP.
