Bolts

Not posted in a while. But feeling very deflated today, this week has been a flat out week of trying to figure out electrical faults ect and I have come to understand that modern cars are not fun 😂 there are so many different modules and electrics in newer stuff and I have spent many hours trying to figure these things out with no joy at the end of it. Is this our future ?? Not only for the techs but for the customer alike 😬 cars are vehicles with 4 wheels that take us from a to b, but modern stuff is a computer that pretty much does it all for us we just point the wheel in the right direction. Take me back to when cars where actually cars. Wiring was straight forward and didn't run through 17 modules before it's powers the thing it needs to. 12 volts where 12 volts not canbus modules that split voltage down and share it out. I love cars that's why I do what I do but I don't love computers 🖕

I get asked this question alot..........

Do I really need to service my car ?? Does my car need a service ??

I can't say yes or no because I don't know your driving habits ect or have a Cristal ball to see inside your engine.

What I can tell you is don't let your oil change run this long, had this car in and no idea when last serviced but this oil filter being so clogged would suggest a few years, if you leave this long you run the risk of turbo issues or catastrophic failure and complete engine failure due to oil starvation, costing thousands to replace these major components when the upkeep would have been far more worth it short term.

I won't tell you what to do with your car just show you evidence and let you decide 😁
