              How many times have you heard the phrase "Eh, old cars need too much maintenance..."?

              Now, I'm no mechanic (or, atleast, all I know is self-taught) and still I find myself constantly leaving 1-star ratings to all the men that I mistakenly happen to leave my 18 years old car to.

              Of the 5 times it happened in these 4 years, 3 out of 5 I found the car in the worst shape possible, volunteerily sabotaged to create new problems.

              Now, we're talking about a very sturdy engine. A diesel, and on top of that a very sturdy diesel (1.6 HDI), so most of the things that happen to it are "easily" fixable.

              However, if you have an old car, be sure to always have a general understanding of how things were in your car before going to the mechanic. Take pictures. Ask what they've touched and done.

              It's not like all of the mechanics are scammers, but even if you find mechanic-dedicated web spaces, you'll notice there is a tendency to decide what's best for yourself and your car instead of doing their job 🙂

              The pics are what I found in my engine 3 weeks after going to the mechanic. Everything was loosened and a whole exhaust tube wasn't even fitted at all.

              And yes. The car kept going. And I just fixed most of the errors that came up.

              Be your own angel.

                  Always a bit nerve-wracking doing this - I had to sacrifice the contents of the SD-card which was a load of music (I have it backed up elsewhere) for the update - but it all went through OK - it does seem Android Auto is disconnecting and resetting less on the new firmware but this might only be because I'm keeping an eye on the device battery levels - it tends to act up when the phone reaches 80% charge which I've set on "battery care" - lots of have the same problem (not only VW) and neither the manufacturers nor seem to be able to stop it.

                  I've got the car's built in as a backup (but I don't get speed warnings nor real time traffic, as VW abandoned this service after 3G was ceased in many countries)

                                              Managed to snag an official VW workshop manual and checked with my own eyes, was pleased to see the CHHA engine in my car does indeed have the extra fuel rail and injectors in the intake manifold (this is good, as sprays over the back of the intake valves and keeps then cleaner, without it they are prone to coke up and require walnut blasting)

                                              I do not know why Americans only get engines with direct injection (into the combustion chamber), whether this is simply cost cutting by of or some other reason..

                                                            It really bothers me when watching 'professional' peeps on Youtube doing car stuff and not using proper PPE when doing their work. Or perhaps they don't use it on camera... I know it's been 'a thing' in the comments of their videos.

                                                            I'm convinced they will have lung cancer by the time they get in their sixties. Constant exposure to VOCs, epoxy resin, bondo dust, welding smoke, sand blasting, oh my!

                                                            PPE - it's a thing. Check it out.

                                                            I wanna to see all us car freaks hooning their favourite cars well into their '80s!
