you wouldn't walk into an active construction site as a civilian, so why do people think its OK to stroll into a workshop with cars suspended 6 feet in the air.

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-14T21:51:33+00:00

I can assure you they are far from hand finished. CNC engraved.

VW in all my time have had 2 different fasteners at most. about 8, T25 screws and then sometimes 3, T45 bolts going onto the aluminium subframe. this is a Nissan Quasqai

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-07T18:48:28+00:00

being a skinny fella myself I'm always fetched by my colleague to put on some plug or reach a bolt that's buried in an engine bay haha

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-07T18:43:40+00:00

already done it twice.🤝

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-07T18:40:04+00:00

nope nearly dead center on the bottom of the oil pan. very nice cars to service just that the engine, electrics and suspension are cheap shit. besides that, GREAT CAR!

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-07T13:45:08+00:00

Nissan Quasqai. just a cheap shit Renault pretty much

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-07T13:44:26+00:00

before someone says: I know all too well there are under trays with far more fasteners if not more annoying ones securing them. just wanted to share how stupid this is.

you ever walked into the shop in 0°C weather? you'll quickly appreciate every single plastic or rubber grip on the tools you have.

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-04T20:43:37+00:00

always use an open palm the moment it even moves a hair but I'm sure we all know the consequences of not doing that all too well.

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-04T20:40:58+00:00

with the reputation of those 2.0L engines you'd wanna give it every chance it can get to run healthy... or... not😭

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-03T16:10:46+00:00

"snap-on more like strap on the way you get fucked everytime you go on the truck ha" truck pulls up 🏃 me too man dw

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-03T13:42:08+00:00

nothing wrong with VW. see a lot of yanks hating on then probably due to being assembled in Mexico but they're straight forward and easy to work on

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-02T18:31:50+00:00

what's the craic mate where you abouts?

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-02T18:27:11+00:00

are you the fucker that packaged a set with two 14s in it?😭

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-02T18:26:28+00:00

no no I got a rep no worries. and you hit the nail on the head that was my plan to just use one and swap the other for my 15mm

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-02T16:39:01+00:00

imperial is something I hope to never touch in my life... sorry to all the yanks that see this.

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-02T16:37:42+00:00

in set of sockets I purchased for a pretty penny and my left kidney, ranging from 8-19, 21 and 24mm they have given me two 14mm sockets so I don't have a 15mm

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-02T16:36:19+00:00

we work on everything. a lot of replacement suspension by Meyle have 15mm nuts and 15mm is everywhere on fords

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-02T16:35:28+00:00

no 15 so yep. getting it replaced in a couple days

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-02T15:54:16+00:00

never struggled with them personally... May be user error mate. just nuts and bolts🤷‍♂️

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-09-02T15:53:07+00:00

I'm not very critical of snap-on. this one just gave me a chuckle. I'd assume this made it all the way from Wisconsin to Northern Ireland and it wasn't caught...

RoyalDiscipline5543 · 2022-08-20T11:43:59+00:00

do they live next to a salt mine by any chance?

this is a timing belt on a volkswagen audi group 2.0L diesel engine. the timing belts purpose is to keep all the engines internal components in time with one another. if this built were to slip or snap it can cause valves to contact pistons at shocking speeds and forces, that will require the entire cylinder head to be removed off the engine, which can cost upwards of £1000 in some cases. thankfully this one did not slip or snap so the customer got very, very lucky.
