Car Repairs

absolutely, I am still shocked that even VW needs special funnels just to do an oil change.

Cars will never and should never go away completely, even if they become nothing more than a niche hobbyist thing.

In any case, we very much need and want and should have community mechanic shops and education. A friendly repair cafe is always a good idea.

Me in two weeks time from now

I just switched to owning a german for the first time and have to buy a lot of new tools

[venusaur@lemmy.world]

Yeah every car I’ve owned has had its quirks. Longer standard warranty across all manufacturers, government subsidized would be a nice start.

People have been known to cross the Florida Straight on makeshift rafts, I hear Cuba is very nice this time of year.

Thank you so much definitely going give this a try. I appreciate this. Looks a bit difficult but I have a garage and can take my time and hopefully get it fixed.

I will need find the time and buy the parts, I will check in when it's done. Thanks again.

Happy to help !! Just make sure the part is the same for the 2008 model year cause the forum is for 2000 - 2005. It's probably pretty close if not exact but you never know.

Best of luck to you, looking forward to the report back 🫡

Yes, that's a good point.

The front fell off

And people ask me why I have no interest in learning to drive...

A lot of times you can just give the used oil to any mechanic shop. They almost all run waste oil burners for heat in the winter so any free oil is just free heat for them.
