Преодолел лень-забывчивость и заехал в автомагазин купить свечной ключик. Дома есть, но короткий. Итак, вашему вниманию старые свечи! (Не романтика, не тот вариант 🙂)
* 95 бензин и практически всегда одна заправка
* накатано 58000 (много, знаю, как обычно лень было за ключиком заехать)Ваше мнение, автомеханики? То, что электроды уже сильно покушало, вижу. Что ещё подскажите?

Looks like the #Renault #Scenic 2 is leaking oil.
I was able to confirm my gearbox reverse light switch repair and gearbox oil change are not the source of this (gearbox still full, lowest spot of the engine is just at the gearbox darin plug thats why the oil goes there).
Cleaned the accessible bottom part of the engine, found that the gaskets of the oil stick failed so ordered a new one and found out that the oil is actually coming right from the top of the engine. To access this part, a special nut and a new air inlet gasket are required. Waiting for those now...
According to some online sources, the screws that hold on the cover are not sealed/tend to leak around the screw head. So just removing one at a time, cleaning the surface and reassembling them with a bit of "gasket maker" could fix this. Cleaning is useful anyways to find out where exactly the oil comes from if this does not fix it.

Garage next door to my work booked up until December, fixed it in yard outside today - 6 hours (even with #Makita #impactwrench to remove axle bolts) - had to fight cursed #XZN spline bolts in awkward position (should have raised axle stands about 30-50mm higher!) to remove old set and retorque new ones to 70 Nm + 90° (not fun!).
All other bolts such as caliper bolt, control arm to ball joint and even big axle bolt and axle itself didn't give me any drama, just these 3 (mechanic lent me the one long ratchet I didn't have). Got 200Nm + 180° on axle bolt with beast of a breaker bar
Took every bit of strength in my body, went on test drive just now and there is 0 noise (thought both corners were goosed but front left seems OK for now)

Hmm, how to replace a value cover gasket on my 4Runner... LOL, not easy. (mine is leaking... not doing it myself, but it's apparently a bit of a job). Going to be a pretty penny, for good reason! #4runner #autorepair

This is #VCDS in action on the T430 with a HexNET USB adapter connected to #OBD2 (a lot faster than #OBDEleven and less flaky)

*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 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..

Even if you aren't that into in #cars this is impressive work. I was expecting the #Chinese mechanics to just replace the oil pan and gaskets, not haul out the whole entire #EA888 #engine from the #VW #Scirocco and strip and #overhaul every component (like what used to happen more often in #garages here in 1970s/80s). They are using a mix of old skool skills, and modern computerised tools I have not even seen in many Western workshops..

So I replaced the valve cover on my car's leaky engine a few weekends ago.
I've never done any auto repair work before so it was kind of a daunting job and ended up taking up an entire Friday and Saturday, but I did it!
So far so good and saved ~$1400 (even factoring in time and tools.)
BMWs seem to fall the fuck apart at around 70k miles, and there are still other problems that need to be fixed so... "to be continued" i guess...

Replaced the door seal on my 1999 Toyota 4Runner: In terms of difficulty, give it a 1 out of 10 (simple). Remove 4 screws, snap out plastic panels in the way, pull old seal, replace with aftermarket replacement seal, snap panels back in, screw the screws back in. #auto #repair #autorepair #4runner

Location of 7,5A fuse for windscreen washer pump motor (in orange oval) for RHD #VWPolo 6C (fixed this for a work colleague after the last cold spell as fuse had opened, probably due to screenwash freezing in the jets and motor stalling).
This fusebox is found behind the plastic cover below steering wheel and above pedals.
If you are in a country which drives on the right, this is flipped 180 degrees, the fuse you want will be on far left rather than far right.

I also replaced the bulbs in the DRL (daytime running lights) as one was out (it survived the prang earlier this month but not the body shop!), the trim can be removed with flat head screwdrivers (be careful though as it has a lot of fragile plastic clips). The Torx head is either T25 or T27 (both seem to be in use, they and the design of the trim and lamp housings vary depending on what model Polo you have!)
