This my friends is what used to be a Turkey Baster. I grabbed one to do a refresh of the power steering fluid and brake fluid in my old car (the lazy man's way of sucking it out and refilling it).

This is what it looks like after using it 1 time. ONE TIME! Car fluids can be unbelievably toxic and corrosive.

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..

Resetting service interval with #OBDEleven is a bear, you need to enter data for both FIX: and ESI service intervals or else error codes and strange distances appear, and code scan warned of a flaky vacuum sender in the brake servo (originally happened back in June but didn't put up CEL, I thought it best to replace before it caused further issues!). New (aftermarket) sensor ordered (curiously it has full #VW branding), installed and error cleared off #CarMaintenance #AutoMaintenance #cars

Did my first #oil #service at the weekend (after researching what was involved, they don't publish Haynes manuals for a #VWPolo 6C so got a copy of "So Wird's Gemacht".

Hardest part of the job was getting plastic cover back on (near 0 space under the ramps and the clips kept springing out), and clearing a small quantity of spilled oil (I put the drain can too near the sump plug, forgetting the oil would travel about 100mm further due to gravity) #CarMaintenance #AutoMaintenance #VW #cars

This was the strange glitch, where the car had switched the headlamp beam pattern - I corrected this in the menu, then scanned the car with ODBEleven, cleared off some codes (one for when I removed the rear cluster on Saturday, and 2 about an "implausible signal" at the door which I always get every so often (probably water into the door lock). I will also double check the beam pattern before I drive home tonight! #cars #AutoMaintenance #repair #CarRepair #CarMaintenance
