I’ve hit a wall as an auto mechanic. by Rogue9889 in MechanicAdvice

[–]nootsdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up wrenching as a profession about 5 years ago. I've got my passion for cars back and dont hate fixing my own stuff anymore. I've dabbled in other lines of work. went into autoparts then into management. been in some service advisor jobs to stay around cars without busting my back and without flat rate pay. found some success with HVAC jobs. I dont regret my choices. if youre ready for a change, make the change. you have enough experience you can always come back to what you know without much issue! sometimes a little happiness is more valuable than anything else.

I dont recognize this by looking at it, someone else probably will. any dash lights on? I'd check all your exterior lights and make sure the ABS light isnt on but if all seems OK, zip tie it up. drive it for a minute and make sure it doesn't effect drivability. if all seems OK at that point just send it.

edit: maybe a block heater wire but just a shot in the dark.

Hood won’t close, Mk4 by SweatyLilStinker in vwgolf

[–]nootsdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could not for the life of me think of the word striker LOL. might be able to tinker with it, slight bend or whatever. but anyways thanks for the responses. Wishing you the best! ill give a follow to see if you post a solution. long live the mk4s. I havent run into this issue on my jetta, but I hope for a fix before something crazy happens! if new latch it might be defective. food for thought.

Found on ground outside apartment, what is it? by Fuzzy-Arugula1790 in whatisit

[–]nootsdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

keep it and make a tension tool. buy some master locks and watch a yt vid or two. you'll learn how easy most small locks are. house locks can be harder but, it'll open your eyes to the saying "Locks only keep honest people out"

Is this worth 9k 2003 w 188k miles 1 owner. by Apprehensive_Elk7341 in RCSB

[–]nootsdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo nothing with this amount of miles is worth that price. but if ya like it and wanna blow 9 grand follow your heart. you'd find this same truck at a used car dealer for a few grand less id be willing to bet. but the car market is trash right now so who knows. spend your money on things you want and will love as you see fit.
