Only 6 years old? Thats quite surprising. What kind of car is it?
Kia Cerato. 2012 model. Itâs surprising but apparently with my luck something like that would happen to me.
Bullshit, you have awesome luck, so shoooosh it happens.
Moenie lat ek soontoe kom net om jou gat te skop nie
what went wrong?
Iâm still waiting on my cars diagnosis
thats a pretty fair price, might as well get the cambelt and waterpump also replaced while theyâre at it.
Ekt nou die dag uitgewerk dat my kar wat ek huidiglik het impossible is om te replace.
Die rede is my kar (2012 kia Rio) se prys het met 15k opgegaan elke jaar. En huidiglik sal die selfde kar op paaiemente my 1k meer kos as wat ek betaal het en insurance gaan ook op gaan met about 200-300 oor dit a nuwe kar is.
Adulting suck hoor
Itâs a Kia. I see your problem.
The cars are generally fine, unlike the bakkies you use
Bearing damage on the cambelt side, damaged internal engine parts. Donât know yet why but the mechanic is looking into that.
With you having said that, Iâm feeling better then
hectic⌠Iâm terrified of my timing belt snapping
Shouldnât the service people see these kind of problems when they service the car?
I had a problem with my previous car where the engine block had to be replaced. Also cost a lot.
and thats why i work on my own car, dont trust no one
And that is why I take my car to the same mechanic - they dont bullshit and they know I know somewhat about cars
Most probably, but I guess not when they do a minor service. And my previous service was only a minor one, so I guess they never even bothered to look at it.
it gets tricky with cam belts. they basically have to dismantle the entire engine to get to it, so itâs not something that gets checked. thatâs why they just recommend you replace it every 100k
OhâŚsee my car is already well over 130k, so might have been its time.
or every 5 years
ja normally you would change it on your 90k service
my car is on 13 years and 180kâŚ
