Check out this guy's new engine. Came for a tune, and didn't even mention the flickering oil pressure light. For crying out loud, there's only 2 lights, they both mean STOP NOW

Unbelievable. Must be one of those new intermittent pumps that cuts in and out to save it from wearing out to fast ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚


What was the owners response when you told her. I say her, as this is exactly something my wife would do. Sorry to all other woman whom actually pay attention.

Kev
I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

Might need to learn how to read Kev, as Matt actually said "check out this guys new engine". Stupid comment dude! ๐Ÿ‘Ž

I've got female friends who dont know much about cars (if anything other than how to start it) but are still bright enough to know that a light flashing up on the dash that isnt usually there might be questionable? Amazes me that people can spend so much on a motor, only to not educate themselves enough on the care and maintenance of it!

Cheers guys, certainly crazy Marcus. Kev, a bit more pc next time or you might be moderated too๐Ÿ˜

Ash, sticking up for the gals again......๐Ÿ˜€ keep up the good work. Mind you, Kev reminded of the old lady in her new '56 that got poor fuel economy and fouled the plugs prematurely. The service manager had tested everything but every service she complained of the same thing. Finally the service manager asked her to take him for a run around the block, they got in and the first thing she did was pull out the choke and hang her handbag on the protruding knob.......๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ needless to say, they didn't end up going around the block.

Haha, bless her, how sweet! I find it much easier to lift the long levered thingy ma jig up in the middle between the seats and drive around with it under there, that way my lippy is within reach and it doesn't go anywhere! ๐Ÿ˜˜ the car gets a funny smell to it though, but that soon goes away when I spray my Britney Spears perfume in the car ๐Ÿ‘
