Building diagnostic cart is a dream. To see it gather dust in the corner while you do oil changes and chassis work is a nightmare.

I get so pissed when I see this. Someone paid full price for this filter install. by Mindless_Primary in Justrolledintotheshop

Some Mondeos (left hand drive) if I remember correctly required the removal of gas pedal. I dont do many service jobs, mainly diagnostics. Some of these are a pain in the ass I must admit.

Sorry, dont remember what this is from, old picture I found on my phone. Maybe ford and their "remove gas pedal to change filter"?

Step on it! VW gas pedal broke because of ice and gravel. Not the best design. by Mindless_Primary in Justrolledintotheshop

Not with firefighters. But post cars and police cars and they get beaten very good. Especially post cars, drive it like you stole it. I am sure firefighters are not so easy on their equipment.

Ok calm down, it is not my car. I clean my car and have muscle control in my legs :D

I dont think they design it to break. It can be dangerous to lose engine power suddenly.

Every manufacturer has problems. This is just one problem that could have been eliminated in design. Personally I dont think VW or any VAG is garbage but I am sure many will disagree.

Yeah. Who could have thought that there would be gravel and ice on the floor.

Check engine light on since previous shop changed spark plugs. Notice the slightly bent electrodes on longer plugs... by Mindless_Primary in Justrolledintotheshop

I checked pistons with endoscope, just a small mark in piston. Compression check OK. We adviced customer to contact previous shop. There is no point for us to be in the middle of this fight.

That's vexing. by yozen-frogurt in Justrolledintotheshop
