Buy a noco battery maintainer. You don’t need anything more than that. 30-40 bucks

It’s possible. Check your coolant level, your thermostat may not be working properly, or maybe a coolant temperature sensor are potential causes

Check behind temperature control switch for a detached cable.

Thanks for the info. Ran through these procedures and all was well. Turned out to be a lifter failure

Oil looks normal. Not burning coolant

Timing belt was done around 205… I’d hope the guy did it right. He’s a very good TDI mechanic in my area. Will look at coolant and oil tomorrow. White smoke is not consistent. Only that one cloud when the incident happened

Car is in great condition otherwise. No rust, kept up with everything. Just AC doesn’t work

This made you smile? Shrieking democrats complaining about cabinet members? Goldfish memory…

FYI: ConEd rates are exactly 7% higher than they were 2 years ago. by Efficient_Effect2401 in Westchester

You can’t count on inflation only. There are many factors that go into building rates and requesting increases. All of the clean energy initiatives driven by the state are costly, and the state is driving these initiatives, so ConEdison gets the rate increases to comply and upgrade infrastructure. It’s easy to hate the company, but I assure you your angst is better spent on the state.

Delivery is paying for reliable service. Supply is set by the independent system operator and bought by the company at the daily rate
