*5 hours* out in the yard today to install new microswitch unit for #VW #DSG gear selector - whole entire centre console of #VWPolo had to come out - a bear of a job, especially removing a fiddly connector for the USB and getting it over the handbrake lever). Switch fitted and then it all has to go back together.

At least now I don't have "error: workshop! Leave vehicle only in position P" randomly coming appearing and USB music playback still works #CarMaintenance #AutoRepair #bladibarsket

TIL: replacing #headlight bulb on #Opel / #Vauxhall #Corsa C is a cursed job, requires lowering whole entire bumper to get the headlight unit out and then the ambient temperature sensor needs to be put back into the bumper..

High level #brake light stopped working last night - found broken cable in loom between C-pillar and tailgate (this is a common problem due to the boot being constantly opened and shut). Managed to splice cable (after initial hassle with a duff splice I had to cut off and being left with even shorter bit at the tailgate end to work with. Tested the fix, wrapped splices and extra cable piece with Tesa tape and put the grommet back on..

I see replacing a car battery is not as simple as it used to be.

Managed to snag a slightly more modern #CarMaintenance #book from 2010 (only £7 second hand, cost about £30 new!) written as a textbook for #apprentice #mechanics (who would mostly be in late teens at further education #college), but a good read for me to get my head round how more modern #cars work and how such things as fuel injection, sensors and ECU interact (my older books, though detailed concentrate on things like carburettors and distributors which are not used in todays vehicles)

Even an older guy like me could learn something from a pirated PDF of a early 2000s era textbook aimed at young apprentices. I'd wanted one of these caps after clouting my head on my own car's gearbox last year whilst doing the oil service, but didn't know the existed or what they were called..

Well, after watching some YouTube videos , I concluded that the issue with the van dying was a starter fuse issue. So I took the ac blower fuse and put it in the starter position, and it fired right up. I went and got a new fuse, and it didn't work. So I went back to AutoZone, and they said it was definitely the correct fuse, and I exchanged it, the second one didn't work either. And now my ac fuse isn't working...

Our 12-yo Ford has a slow coolant leak. I now need to top it off with yellow motocraft antifreeze every 6-8 weeks (this frequency has increased over the last year). I never see any liquid under the car or on hoses in the engine compartment, nor smell anything in the cab. Trying to figure out if it's reasonable for me to pressure-test the radiator myself.

Two #BritishAsian brothers from SE #England (they are #pinoys) fix a somewhat battle scarred 2010 #Mercedes #Sprinter #van and save it from the scrapyard (the #turbo is goosed and needed replacing), their video also explains how a #turbocharger works and what can go wrong with it #mechanic #MobileMechanic #CarMaintenance #AutoRepair

Had to drive to *two* (2) different supermarkets to get these #CR2025 - Asda nearer my office had none (I did at least get some food), Tesco had them - more expensive than I wanted to pay, but cost of both being a good neighbour and not getting old bill called on me - I often drive very late at night, when I open the car with the keyfob alone the alarm blares in the street until I put the key in the ignition - it looks sus like I'm trying to nick my own car.. #cars #VW #CarMaintenance
