Hold me Veeky Forums
My car's engine broke down and I don't have money to fix it.
I'm feeling so depressed and sad, I can't think of anything else. My life isn't great to begin with, but losing my vehicle hit me right in the feels.
Driving was the only joy in my life but now only suffering is left.
I don't know what to do
What exactly happened?
Time to steal a bicycle, fatty mcfatfuck
learn to fix it yourself? save 90% over having a mechanic do it?
Inb4 needs points changed and plug wires.
time to die
What sort of problems is it having? Describe it, maybe someone here can help
what car is it?
>What exactly happened?
Car got old.
Since yesterday I have reduced power on uphill and engine runs out-of-balance in low RPM. Car still runs, but I don't want to move it anymore so things don't get worse.
Source of the problem could be several things.
But actually the whole car is in bad condition already. The whole suspension, engine and clutch need to be revised. I have no money.
>Time to steal a bicycle, fatty mcfatfuck
I don't steal, also I'm not fat
I have no money for spare parts
Don't be a bitch, sell it to someone on Craigslist and buy a Civic or Corolla in the mean time. A manual Civic is a gud car
So its just worn out, low compression and the works?
I'll consider it but it could be so many things that are broken
yes
rest in peace
next time i go out for a drive i won't think of you, because i wont remember ;_;
if it makes you feel better, im sure it was a garbage car, anyway
why don't you get a job????
FF car
i did here But I have no money for spare parts, I'm actually unemployed and looking for a job but the breakdown of my car makes finding a job so much harder in my rural area now. It's ogre.
> sell it
It's not worth much, I couldn't buy another car
>So its just worn out, low compression and the works?
The power loss and unbalance occurred suddenly yesterday. Before that it was just running a bit noisy and leaked a bit oil through the seals.
Find heroin addicts they always have cheap shit to sell
My buddy just picked up a mk3 gti vr6 swapped for 1200 and all it needed was a clutch
>Find heroin addicts they always have cheap shit to sell
That's a nice idea, but I can't even afford a bicycle atm
you can afford some vodka, though
I don't drink.
I'll go to sleep now, thanks Veeky Forums
we're always here for you
anytime
>out of balance
It's missing, or it has low compression?
Other than rubber and fluids, things don't just get "old" and fail, they fail due to neglect.
how do you fix low compression? I have never had that happen to me before
Check with this car owner here
Have you considered an hero?
head gasket?
worn pistons?
Misfire. Distributor/cap/rotor, plug wires, spark plugs. Could be a $5 part, or a $free part at a junkyard to fix. One cylinder isn't firing. A headgasket won't generally ever cause a noticeable "Imbalance" in operation. Neither will low compression unless it's severe, but that generally comes with the noise and violence associated with a disintegrating piston.
You've decided the car isn't worth fixing before even diagnosing the problem. Sounds like you just want to be rid of the car and are looking for some kind of justification.
Piston rings, head gasket, valves, valve seats, seals, bad spark plug seal etc
Low compression is hardly a cheap thing to fix, unless you're lucky
Buy a moped in the meanwhile
Usually rings, or bore wear. Nothing you can just put a couple of bucks into. You'd have to rebuild at least the cylinders and re-ring the pistons.
Sounds like wires or distributor cap. Those are cheap as shit. If not, try to trade the car for a motorcycle.

Not if his car is any newer than about 1975.

If you can't afford to fix your car, you can't afford to own it.
Might as well ask this here. I also have an engine issue with my car.

How fucked am I? How much do you think this will cost me?
Your fucked. All of the 2012 to 13 models had massive lemons because of the auto transmission failing. Congratulations on your poor financial decisions retard
Righ fuked m8, shuda bought a saab
I blew my Miata engine up in April.
I'm sad too.
Still waiting to find a good used one, I need the BP4W.
The best thing to do is distract yourself with another hobby.
Add more oil, 20w-50
New piston rings
Oil thickener
Rebuild
