the mechanic just rang, the car is smoking again and now the trans has gone in limp mode. he said the engine light has come on as well but he cant work on it for the next few days so i guess i gotta pick the piece of **** up!! f$%k!

he said it was driving well then just threw some hissy fit.. this car is just f%$%ed...

Not sure if this is the same as yours but I had a vk 5.0 years back and it had a vacuum line from the box to the engine and the valve in it **** itself and was pumping tranny fluid into the manifold makin the engine blow lots of white smoke is something like this possible on yours ?

I reckon he's burned the car in frustration lol.

 

[thebot123]

sorry for the late reply.. i didnt even know some of you lads even messaged...

i rang the mechanic today but he reckons his bloke that checks the error codes is on holidays until the 14th so he couldnt check them, i offered to go up there and get the codes for him with the wire trick and it spat out 5 codes when at the mechanics

code 15
code 23
code 24
code 29
code 32

i decoded it for him and wrote it down for him so hopefully this issue might get sorted..

 

[thebot123]

the car is still at the mechanics, hopefully it might be home soon

Jesus Christ sounds like your mechanic is either a dumb ass or too busy.
