This car is an absolute shitbox with a million electrical issues. Just got a new starter 2 weeks ago, and the alternator was replaced 18 months ago, so i knew the battery was the likely culprit.
Anyway, gonna make my ancestors proud and go throw the old battery into Lake Erie
Your photo is just further proof that the 10 millimeter socket doesn’t exist. 😂
Don’t forget to tip the used engine oil into a shallow hole in the ground when you’re done dumping the battery!
A shallow hole? We can do at least 12 inches! That ought to be good enough for 20 years.
Pack it full of sand and gravel and nature will just naturally filter out the oil
It’s like the razor disposal in your medicine cabinet. It just goes away.
Lol just did this today too
Throwing batteries into Lake Erie is that common?
This reminds me of the time my saturn’s check engine light came on, and I, the least auto-mechanically inclined human being I know, ended up replacing the broken part myself because none of my buddies who seemed to know everything about cars and car repair could not figure out how to do it.
I suppose it’s how other people feel when they ask their family member who is “in IT” the best way to convert an MP4 movie to a pdf format and after being told it is impossible, they figure out that you can run the movie in an microsoft excel macro and then use the print function to covert each frame into a thumbnail such that each one prints out on a separate page of a pdf document.
My first car was my Grandma’s 96 SL1. Imiss that thing every day.
I’m gonna stick with shit boxes. My “new” vehicle requires you to dismantle wiper blade apparatus and remove several parts to access the battery
You drive a ford? Thats how my wifes escape was
Ford Escape yes haha
This isn’t much better. You have to use the emergency latch inside the trunk to open it when the battery is dead. But the ski port that gives you access to the trunk from the cabin opens into the trunk, so if there is a large box in the trunk, you need to rubber band man your way to the latch to acces your tools.
It’s been a fun morning. Don’t drive German cars. Worst decision you can make
Bro, you drive a beetle? How’s it holding up? Had one about 20 years ago, and the damn thing broke down so frequently we had to sell it, still under the full warranty.
Looks like it has the 1.8 T engine. Wish my Golf had one of those, they’re fantastic.
Yeah, when it’s running it’s great. But damn does this car require a lot of work
Volkswagens are awesome. For 80,000 miles.
Yeah, luckily i got this thing with 187,000. But the car market is brutal right now, so i didn’t have much other choice.
