So i have a funny little story, here it goes

Yesterday I was on my commute to school When i realized my hood was open.

I pulled over at a shell gas station and got out of the car. Next to me was a guy cleaning his Audi and comes up to me and asks me if I wanted to sell it

I said not a chance and he then asks if he could see it. I said sure

This guy points to my injection pump and says "Your glow plugs are leaking" 0___o

He points to my coolant hoses which were fine and says, these are going to break, their not designed for this car". I asked him if he was sure and he said he knows so hes a "diesel Mechanic"
Oh and to make it worse he then tells me the book value on these cars are 28 grand, he tells me how he works on these cars all the time

This is why i never take my car to the mechanics....
