Shiny New Radiator (Fucked Up Engine)

new radiator

This is the shiny new radiator in my car.

It’s a pity that Dylan changing the old leaking radiator (we found the crack, it was unpatchable) for this brand new one doesn’t solve the real problem – the engine fans aren’t working to help cool down the engine and radiator. I’m just waiting for RACV Roadside Assistance now – electrical connections within a car engine is (understandably) beyond Dylan’s mechanical knowledge, so if the Roadside Assistance guy can’t fix the problem I’ll have to end up taking the car to an auto electrician who will rip me off and charge me an arm and a leg.

I might as well buy a new car altogether. Fuck this shit.

  1. That was starting to happen to my previous car, my Mustang. It seemed like everything was starting to go wrong. Started with the accident at first, then the electric window gave out. My battery then died and someone stole the center caps off my rims, which cost me $150 bucks to replace. Then there was a leak with the coolant. In the end, I was glad to be rid of it. Now I have a Jetta that’s kind of old, but it’s been nothing but reliable so far. And I’m paying much less on my car payment than with the Mustang.

    I hope that the guy can fix it, though!!
