I think my car hates me...

[BlackVr6ix]

Aparently the clutch fork has broken which is aparently a common fault, i asked why they didnt replace it when they did the clutch and the response was "it looked ok but it might have been bent"

not really happy, perhaps someone can suggest a new volks mechanic that isnt a rip off and/or doesnt overlook common faults!!!

Dont you wish though that sometimes you could just have a normal car....somrthing that is relliable, cheap on fuel and has cheap and readily available parts. I get **** from my mates, family and even the missus about the golf, and how we should get something more relliable etc....

I know that they are partly right as its not feasible tow own a car you struggle to maintain on a daily basis, but seriously you cant go from having a VR to owning a Holden or Mistu****su......the only cars i would buy after this would have to be a mk4 R32, another VR6 or a 3 series BMW....maybe Audi A3

Just got to win the lotto first, came damn close last week....

I second that my girlfriend has a camry, and i had to drive it last night.... i've driven golf carts with better acceleration

[DubSteve]

I wish sometimes my gf would also see the light, she owns a barina I wish I could throw it off a cliff, no power , no acceleration... NOTHING, but she loves it.

What you going to do

[BlackVr6ix]

I'm not too fussed, the GF is back at ford in geelong at the end of jan so she'll get a new car then...

Sad to hear of your pains

Mine hit 242,000 tonight! Eeek!

[DubSteve]

Mine only has 165 000kms, but my dash says 200 300kms, due to a dash swap

And I thought mine was full of kms

[BlackVr6ix]

dash swap because you killed it or upgraded?

[DubSteve]

Owner before me killed it, He was doing some voodoo poo with the dash or something

[pommy_golfer]

My old engine, the one thats being replaced at the moment only had 192k on the clock. Apparently this new one has only 150k on it....

Have you guys seen that video on youtube of the mk3s dash, there is 299,999 on hi clock and hes driving and waiting for it to click over to 300,000. I think it didnt it just reset itself to zero......

[DubSteve]

Whahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

[BlackVr6ix]

$530 for parts and labour.

Next time I'm getting any work done I'm researching anything else that can go wrong in the area and ****ing replacing it all....
