it's annoying. I should replace the rear latch altogether when the weather warms up. Sometimes it stays shut for days, and other times the first pot-hole opens the trunk and turns the overhead lamp on, making me look like a moron, especially at night.

Wait for it . . .

It's impossible to being up on Veeky Forums without a bunch of jealous bus riders posting fake news about it.
Leaking oil Belt squeal no matter what I do Power steering pump failing Rear diff leaking Dent in rear bumper Taillights cracked Brakes are mushy and warped Torn CV boots Windshield chipped Door speakers blown Drivers seatbelt hangs
I might fix some of this if I wasn’t about to get rid of it

I'll be the one laughing when your car depreciates to 10k within the decade.
Andrew Lewis
it'll be better off than the ST that depreciate 10k in 2 years

Still love my car. Turns on a dime and the added power from stock really made a difference. Don't experience wheel hop anymore for some reason.
Is one typo really that much to short your circuits? The letters are right next to each other on the keyboard but nope, can't possibly decipher it.

>mists up if heating isn't on full even if AC is turned on as well >loves to burn through DRLs >blew tons of fuses when installed LED tail lights swapped the DRLs to LEDs to see if they last longer
touch wood that's going to be the only issues with it.
Oh and the headliner. Starting to sag. I need to replace the headliner. Oh and I can't really go over 75 without worrying I'll die. Oh and between 45-60 it can get death wobble that I should probably do something about. Oh and the heat doesn't work. No A/C either. Oh and I don't think I've had windshield wiper fluid for at least a couple years. Oh and the thing that holds up the trunk hatch won't hold it open. Oh and I probably need new brakes. Oh and the only thing that's going to get the trailer hitch off is a torch. Oh and I need some new rear springs. Oh and when I roll the drivers window up the motor cranks after it closes. Oh and the headlights are pathetic.
All in all though, the only thing I consider to be a real problem is the rust.
Is one mistake that completely distorts the meaning of the sentence and makes it illogical really that much to short your circuits? The letters are right next to each other on the keyboard but nope, can't possibly decipher it.
>mists up if heating isn't on full even if AC is turned on as well well VAG is making great progress. 1991 polo misted up no matter of heater's state and AC was not an option.
>some oil/coolant leaks into the exhaust manifold, causing blue and white smoke to come out when going uphill in reverse >door sometimes locks by itself when you open it to get out >washer fluid takes several seconds to pump out and the pressure is weak >it's a fucking early 00s Kia
I wish there were Honda's for sale in my area, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten this boring fucking car.
to be fair a lot of what's on the UP! is based around the MK4 golf and polo 6N2 so not exactly new, but i'm going to see if a desiccant bag will fix it
Jack Torres
>ac doesnt blow on feet >brake pad wear sensor went full retard
no the sensor went bananas I ripped it out today thinking if it wasnt there no problem but it turns out you actually need to keep the curcuit whole instead the other way around and I trew it away so cant even just twist the wires now
Andrew Wright
There's a 5spd Kia Spectra in my area for sale for $1,995. It's 2004 and 156,000 miles.
I think it is something royally fucked up with it but I've never even gone to look at it in person
Charles Carter
2.0t? wait until you start spewing black smoke like a diesel and you find out you need to replace the entire engine :^)
Dylan Fisher
>>brake pad wear sensor went full retard I had this problem, along with a dozen more, with my MB. I just fucking ignored it
Justin Bell
Mercs have electronic sensors for fucking brake pads??
Why am I not surprised...?
Justin Davis
Yep. All kinds of stupid electronic gadgets that break. This is why you don't buy a used merc, bmw, or worst all, audi, folks
Juan Sullivan
Rockers have some rust Power steering pump pully is bent Leaks through a part of the windshield Wiper resivoir pump doesn't work Needs painted badly Guy who owned it before me took off the plastic accents and Bondoed over the boltholes. Lights don't flip up A/C doesn't work And I love it. Pic isn't mine, but same color
Personally, I enjoy fixing shit like my MkII. It destresses me.
Henry Rodriguez
My car uses the mechanical sensors from the pads I purchase.

probably going to have to put about 3-5k into it in the coming months. worth it.
-Been burning oil since 180kms. Leaks oil all over the driveway. -Needs a new cat every two years to pass e-test because the cat keeps getting oil fouled. -Rear strut towers rotted away a few years ago, repaired on the cheap and they will fail again eventually. -Can't fill gas to F all the way, leak somewhere, make do with filling half way to full. -Windshield cracked at the bottom. -Since windshield is fucked, use old wipers. -License plate light wiring is screwy, they are either on or off depending on the position of the trunk lid. Right now the left one works when closed. -Exhaust is getting rusty, I'm not replacing it again. -Auto transmission sticks in first gear until it gets warmed up after about 10 mins in extremely cold winter weather. -Serious frame cancer (thanks Ontario) with a hole behind the left rear tire. -Front struts were shit when I bought it, didn't bother with them. -Thousands of dollars in repairs over the last few years, can't go a few months with some other shit breaking. Even when sitting idle its still failing apart. -Headliner gets bubbly in areas during damp weather. -Drivers seat showing wear. -Hole in the trunk where a plug rotted out, covered by a rubber dish glove. -A/C long since busted, clutch bypassed with different belt. -Car is so fuckin old now yards don't carry them, pretty much all rusted away by the early 2010s. Even parts from the Mazda dealership are getting harder to source.
Positives: -Great visibility, low slung dash with no air-bags. -No fuckey ABS, standard disc/drum set up. -Roller windows and manual locks and mirrors that all work fine. -Nimble in snow and tight city streets. -Larger 15" wheels/tires made the ride a little better, not to mention harder to find 13" tires these days. -Still gets good fuel econ. -Gauges and lights still work. -Heat didn't work when I got it, fixed it and its great in the winter. -Enough power for highway rides. -Good leg and headroom.

Needs new head gasket. Shocks busted causes tires to wear down quickly. Interior trim has been torn to shreds. Seat belts barely work in the back. The speakers were cut so bluetooth speakers are now used. Burns through gas way to quickly. E brake sensor broken. But perfect DD shit box
