NEW RIDE We’re an Explorer now!

[blue-sun]

You'd be complaining about the tire pressures not staying the same from when you pull out of the garage to just after driving on the highway, or some other ridiculous shit

I only complain about things that are a problem.

It's not a HUGE problem or something that doesn't make the car drivable. But it IS a problem.

My VW has a rattling sunroof and blown speaker/door card that I still need to follow up on. The speaker/door card, the part was on backorder and I haven't called to see if it's in. The roof, the said it would have to go to a bodyshop and the roof cut off to fix, yeah, I don't know if I wanna go that route.

So you'll live with a rattling sunroof, but losing an ounce of washer fluid is the end of the world. Got it.

I'm 1000000% sure I told the wife to not buy another Ford given all the issues we had with the Edge ST.

I was pushing for an Accord Sport 2.0T over this thing. Cost half as much and probably twice as reliable.

I worked at Honda and those Hondas break down also

I WFH 4 days a week, so I don't hear it rattling that often. It's worse now that it's getting warmer, it wasn't too bad all winter. VW had looked at it a few times as well.

VW tried that with my mom. She took the service manager to the gas station with her, showed him how she did it.

He said that same bullshit line. She then opened up the owners manual and asked him to point out where in the manual she didn't do exactly what was shown, and to please point out the section or pages where their "technique" was documented by VW.

Told her to take it to a different dealership. She's been going to the one Naperville ever since.

I don’t even have the neck strength to shake my head hard enough at this kind of crap.

I still cant believe we're talking about washer fluid.

I still cant believe we're talking about washer fluid.

you and me both. . .

 

[FESTER665]

you and me both. . .

Well for different reasons.

You're cant believe youre still talking about it because its not fixed.

I cant believe were still talking about it because who really cares that it loses some?

When the wife says "it's not spraying any fluid..." top it off....

I literally never check the fluid.... It gets topped off with an oil change, then I add more if I spray some fluid and none comes out. It's never been a safety issue.

C'mon now. Is the wife going to drive through a fountain of ink thats going to coat the windshield and she wouldnt be able to make it home?

 

[bimmer4life]

All the peeps saying just deal with the issue and leave it alone. I don't know man. If I paid 65k for a SUV. I would expect it not to do this.

 

[FESTER665]

ITS FUCKING WASHER FLUID....

It's not like the thing is tossing rods out the block, or the doors wont close.

He's literally said it's never run out as well.

I guarantee his isnt the only one doing this, he's just the only one who has high enough OCD to measure it.

 

[DEEZUZ]

I said tape the sprayers and try it out and then smoke the system on like page 6 sooooo

I'd be pissed.

 

[FESTER665]

I'd be pissed.

I picture you being more like me and not even knowing about it.

You would go to spray the fluid and as long as fluid came out you wouldn't be like "well, lets measure how much fluid it takes...."

I would literally have ZERO idea if my car lost some fluid because I don't worry about it until there's no fluid coming out.

You getting kind of worked up over there.

I have 3 cars to fill up, it's a full time job as I like clean windows. Taurus uses the most it has 3 fucking sprayers...

I get it for free too, but when I literally have like a cup left but it's already pouring back out the top I just fucking keep pouring.

He's definitely not management material

Agreed.

Smoke it, dye, do it yourself at this point since the techs haven't found anything obvious. However, it could be fucking gay and be a connection in the headliner/tailgate slightly leaking... had that before.

 

[FESTER665]

Not at all, laughing more than anything.

I cant think of a single time Ive ever gotten worked up from stuff on here, this forum is my happy place when I'm stressed out dealing with people at work.

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

I still cant believe we're talking about washer fluid.

I still can't believe your cobra isn't done......

 

[FESTER665]

Too late, already in management.

Really thinking about getting out of it though, sometimes its just really not worth the headaches and drama.

 

[FESTER665]

Touché

 

[DEEZUZ]

Looks like the tank is like a pancake and runs all the way down the fender.

I'd remove the fender liner and look up there. That's where the pumps connects and a few lines.

 

[FESTER665]

Set up a camera inside to make sure the wife isnt using it just to mess with you.

+1 for pulling the entire fender off. Fuck it. Pull the whole care apart and isolate the washer fluid lines. Then take a 12V battery and operate the system. You'll find the leak.
