Replaced water pump aasy on a 2016 Audi A3 about 2 weeks ago. Customer stated that after repairs they only drove home and a couple short trips. On their first longer trip the guage showed overheating. Customer showed front desk a photo of the gauge at halfway and drew a picture of the same thing. Customer insists their car never overheated before.

Their car isn't overheating. I don't know what kind of bug they have in their rug but ain't a thing wrong with that coolant temp.

What possum do you run? This one's not holding charge.

Tbf we showed them and they were cool about it (I mean in shock) but then apologized for "wasting" our time but we said its all good! Sorry ya gotta get a rim now

Customer was referred to us after service advisor verbally told him the cylinder walls were scored on cylinder with misfire and that the vehicle needed a motor. When customer informed service advisor that the motor was replaced by another dealership a year ago and there should be warranty service advisor changed his story about the cylinder wall scoring and told him it would need all new injectors, plugs, coils. I don’t even know if they pulled this coil off when they looked at it initially🙃

I have no ideal how u can smell anything over the old ass wings and roaches but eh.

'04 Escalade, spewing oil. His buddy had said it was "leaking" at the oil pressure switch. If you ever wanted to know what the inside of an oil pressure switch looks like, here ya go. Also, still have not located the top half of the original, but at least it's not spewing anymore.

This was a few months ago. The toolcat is chained to the t66 and the chain is welded to the inner cv axle and it still wouldnt break free. The entire transaxle ended up getting replaced. In order to remove the transaxle from the frame the cv needed to be cut flush with the case.

Friday shenanigans before the fourth. Car was converted and we dug into AC not working. Customer wanted us to look into an oil leak on the PRV V6 (in progress) and we're gonna look into flushing the coolant system as it's accumulated a lot of corrosion (likely from tap water mixed into the coolant).

Weird stuff makes us really excited, as we are starting to do more and more exotics. The owner is one of the coolest enthusiasts we locally know, and also owns a Renault Clio V6 and an Alfa GTV.
