The What's Wrong With Your Car Thread

[schroedin]

New updates

I fucking steamrolled a dead deer in the road cause I couldn't avoid it, It ripped out my front undertray thing and one of my brake ducts, those disappeared forever. Also, my front drivers lock cylinder is fucked up, so I have to lock/unlock my car either from the passenger door or the trunk.

i am so glad to find that i will finally be able to clean out my closet because there is a lot to say.

Passat TDI 1996
-when i bought it no reverse lights and water temp gauge not working. Done
-two months later the engine broke down, a timing belt pulley ran away: 5valves on the 8 were bent etc... after 4 months: Done (i discover a lot of adorable things..)
-i remove the trailer hitch and my bumper fell down, the hitch maintained the bumper in place, the bumper cover is now hold in place with steel string (?) and 6 screws..
-i have to change the two right doors, the front is rusty as fuck and the rear is bent so when it rains outside, it rains inside too! the bottom of it is about 1cms or 2 of filler!
-the right rear fender is like a MX terrain and not the same colour like car...
-windshield bay is rusty allover and so it rains inside the car and on my beautiful headliner and on the fuse box and the wiring harness.
-the wiring harness obviously is partly cut and rewelded with tape by the previous owner so, sometimes there some sparks coming form there...
-all the plugs of the light switch are welded on the wires since it goes from US switch to euro one (and i plan to redo all of that and remove the alarm)
-the carpet is rotten
-seats are unconfortable, and impossible to set due to the rust on the system, i hope one day to have a leather interior
-the exhaust is so low under the car that it scraps really too often
-there is so much scratches that i can't count them!
-the engine dance on its mounts at 2500rpm and constant speed... sometimes ti seems that it will go out of the car!
-it is a TDI and 90hp...

The 1983 E21 bimmer:
-front drive train dead, all has to be replaced
-front windshield defrost dead for 2 weeks (it rains all day those times)
-some rust on the rear end, under the left side window and under the passenger door.
-right front brake disc bent...

the 1981 Passat wagon:
-as someone previously said: it is not finished!
that's all...

-Rear break hoses need replacement (ive got them, just not gotten around swaping them)
-Gotta replace Rear breaks soon
-Powerstearing pump needs replacement soon
-Oil/filter change is overdue
-A little bit of Rust on all the fenders and around the drivers front door.
-Ow, and my left front fogligth with aftermarket xenon is having some sort of issue. So when i turn on my fogs, it turns on then turns of. And at the same time it knocks out the boardcomputer, So i have to disconnect the computer and reconnect it, to get it working again.

- Brake Pads are shot. Lots of Squeaky.
- Bit of steering wheel shudder at speed, probably caused by the ruined brakes.
- Paints flaking off my front arches due to my rims smashing into them.
- Carbon front splitter is cracked in half due to a rather large speed bump.
- Dash says I have tail light failure, even though I don't, it's due to the LED Rears.
- I have a tempermental reversing sensor, keeps telling me I'm hitting something even though theres nothing behind me
- My sunroof doesn't close once it's open.

Nothing really aside from the fact that I have too much camber in the rear and that it seems to be munching up my rear tires pretty good.
