>buy air filter
>go to install it
>fucking security bolts everywhere
why do they do this? if I want to fuck with my car I'm going to get inside one way or another, the only thing these stupid fucking bolts are going to do is piss me off and force me to spend money on shitty chinese drivers

what kind of security bolts were they?

Thanks Honda!

DU MUSST TO DEALER TAKE IT. JETZT! SCHNELL! IST VERBOTEN OWN CAR WORK ON.
>stars
you sure they weren't torx bits?
>stars
Aren't there always a couple of star inserts in literally any toolset?
Calm down Hans, why don't you come take a shower to cool off, just ignore the dead jews on the floor.
*torx
Fuck you for saying stars, you confusing nigger
Which? The 2006-2009 Golf/Rabbit/Jetta 2.5 i5 platform has super ez engine air filter replacement imo
they look like stars
everyone knows what hes talking about
actually he isnt wrong
I've got a hand me down toolbox and that's pretty much it
it's a 2014 jetta, I can take the airbox out with a plain old socket wrench no problem but to get inside I have to use some stupid bit

Oh...yeah apparently they changed everything up after 2012.
You don't have a Harbor Freight in your area? You can get a set of torx bits for like $3, and you really will get your money's worth with them because VAGshit is riddled with fucking torx bit screws
Oy vey!
>i wonder who could be behind this driver design
What car? Mine's just yanking down the glove box
(((Torx)))
2001 Accord
I do, I just don't want to go all the way over there
not like it really *needs* a new filter anyway, I was going to cut the baffles out because racecar
>not like it really *needs* a new filter anyway, I was going to cut the baffles out because racecar
It's time to stop.
>bitching about torx
Just get a set. Better than Phillips, honestly. T25'll probably get you everything you need
Weird, I have the 03, the gen after yours. Engine air is screwed though
only jews could make such a shitty driver
fuck you OP torx aren't security bolts
they are common as fuck and the patrician's choice in 2k17
especially for internal drives you shouldn't even consider using anything else
I'm tempted to buy the screws that are missing, even if it'd cost like $30. It doesn't even make a difference, it just irks my autism that there are a bunch of missing screws in the glove compartment area.
This, Torx is truly master race
and of course germany fucking loves it
it is too late to bring your car back for a full refund?
I'm going to rice my shitbox and you can't stop me
the 1.8t airbox is better than any aftermarket intake anyways
>not even security torx
Git gud nig you can turn those cunts with a flathead no problem.
I don't want to stop you because I want to laugh at you
but not replacing your air filter is dumb-tier especially if you're trying to "get sikk HP from dem mawdz brah". Dirty air filters aren't good.
what hath god wrought
>Has it been more than 3 seconds after you signed the paperwork?
If so, it's too late
Buy a set of these and never get stuck again. Worth every penny.
it's not dirty, I have an aem filter I want to put in
If it doesn't do anything at least I can wash it off when it gets gross instead of replacing it
I usually do just use a flathead but this is my car and I don't want to fuck up the bolts
if these are so easy to buy what's the point of even making security bits? anybody with access to amazon can get into the shit
Mate, most people don't even own a tool box. Numales are fucking embarrassing.
still, half of them you can open with a flathead or a pair of scissors
Replace all your screws with security Philips
>it's the car manufacturer's fault my toolbox is small
I'll fuck your mom fag
We call em kosher screws because they are indeed God's chosen screw/bolt
time to make some additions.
to keep faggot's like OP out of stuff.
With what? You don't have the tool to do that
I'm lucky mine are phillips but you have to remove a lot of plastic.
My mercedes uses this what happened to helping hitler? Jewing me into buying torx.
