Re: Scheides' New Beater
omg this is kinda unbelievable. The hose clamp on the coupler that attaches to the FMIC was kinda sticking out and rubbing on the power steering cooling loop tube...and wore a hole in it. Unreal.

Re: Scheides' New Beater
man, for the paint condition, curbed wheels, and now the PS leaks? What other issues will rear their ugly heads!? This just doesn't seem to be promising to me..but, hopefully knowing you, you'll resurrect her from ashes.

Re: Scheides' New Beater
Luckily scheides has the know-how to deal with any minor problem. There's a reason I went with a brand-new X...all of those little things cost a mint to have somebody else fix.

Re: Scheides' New Beater
^ lol... Paying someone to fix easy jobs like that is kinda sad.
40k over 25k. Easy decision for me.

Re: Scheides' New Beater
I bent the offending part of the hose clamp back a bit, its a tight spot so some JBweld and post-it notes will have to do for now. There's a napa very near my office, hopefully this holds together.

Re: Scheides' New Beater
Know how and the tools to do something are two very different things.
There are jobs that I did on my X that would've been cheaper to pay someone to do it because of the tools i had to buy.
You pay for everything with either time/money. No way around that. Some people prefer to spend their free time not wrenching on cars. If i had unlimited tools i would do a lot of stuff myself. I love working on cars.

I park in a ramp. I can get away with a few things, but not much. I wasn't thinking about having a car hobby when I bought the condo. |
