  • Down & Disabled...

    ... but still looking fresh I suppose.
    Came to start up and head over to my uncle's house early this morning.
    Heater sign didn't light up as usual on the HUD but I tried starting it anyway.
    Heard a loud 'pop' and saw smoke coming out from under the hood.

    Turns out I blew all four engine starter heaters... at once.
    Can't really tell from the pics. but they're gonna cost like €90 to replace.
    Gave it a quick detail before I head out...

          They're not 'popped' so much as blown or burnt...
          'Pop' is just the noise I heard.

            ah, i see. thats odd that they would all go at once.. something sounds funny about that. good luck fixing it though.

              Exactly my thoughts
              I took the car to my mechanic for a small tune-up last week so I called him immediately and he told me it was due to them being disconnected which I most certainly did not do...

              Not much I can do now but just get them replaced and fitted properly.
