My youngest son Kyle bought a VW Rabbit Diesel the other day. He is a musician and knows nothing about cars. His older brother Aric and I spent the last several days and nights working on the car to make it safe and road worthy for him. He is wondering across the country and has several stops planned along the way. He left last night for his eventual destination, Brattleboro, VT where he enrolled in a course to learn to be a luthier. He called at 12:30 am to ask me how to fix his headlights.

Seems he was pulled over for a tail light and when he started off again the head lights wouldn't turn on. He held the dimmer switch and continued to drive to get to Remus MI. where he is attending a wedding. Anyone know of a shop he can stop at that could fix the head lights for him. He is not mechanical at all. Ya, my kid can't fix his own car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Thanks guys. I think I talked him through the issue last night. It seems he checked his oil and may not have fully engaged the dip stick. He added oil to the engine. Way too much oil. When I had him check it he said it was about an inch over the full mark. He was able to drive for awhile before it started racing again. He pulled into a wayside and found a container and drained a bunch of oil out. He called this morning and said it happened again after he drained the oil but it shut down with the key. He slept til this morning (in the car) and he now has about 80 miles on and no issues so far. He blew through Louisville and is heading for Memphis.
The saga continues.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |
