my f$%&**g car...

my f$%&**g car...

took it to garage today thinking it just needed the airflow filter changing........ oh no..


head gasket has gone,

radiator is cracked,

battery is shit,

cooling pipe has split, and a few minor other things...

feel fucking sick, can't work till friday night now coz they need to keep the car till then to fix it. somebody please cher me up!

Go and steal Marc's baby killer.

can't taxi in a hatch back mate... anyway... its rubbish!!

What kind of car is it matey?

VW passat.. just found out that the oil cooler seal has gone too.... thats £275 quid on its own!

Sounds like it would be cheaper to buy a new car.

thats what i'm now thinking... but would just end up with same problems soon enough.... i do 50k + miles a year!

Is it worth fixing mate cause all that work sounds like its gonna cost a fortune. Can you not buy a run about and do it yourself or know someone that might fix it for cheap?

have tried... is a specialist part apparently, so vw garage actually gave me the cheapest quote!!!

The oil cooler seal? what year is the car?

what size engine aswell matey

At least its still on the road :upyours:

OOOOOF

It fucking needs to be by the sounds of it :laugh:

Its a W reg mate and its a 1.9TDI (i think)

NOT!:evil: :evil:

so if u do 50k miles a year...does it have 300k miles on it??

You should always get a second opinion with this sort of thing or ask them to show you.

im no mechanic but ive been told once a head gasket has gone...fixing it is only a temporary thing cos it wont last long after its gone once....my mate had his fixed and it went again 5month later

only had it a year, its got 130k on it!

now i feel really sick!

No mate thats a load of crap, if the job is done properly the headgasket can last a very long time and if driven right it may never go again.
