If I'm not just rumplage with 18-year-old stainless scrap, I go sometimes even a car, that already in the 21 Century was built: our little Fiat Punto, built in 2001. The car has done to my knowledge a few years ago in the ADAC breakdown statistics for the last seat, and my feelings towards this car are very ambivalent. If he runs, then the little prima: Running easily, has enough room is beautiful agile, does not need much fuel. If it myself but let you down, then I fall back on holding the two formulations, for the FIAT is really is, "Fix It Again, Tony" and "errors in all parts" Fortunately, he does not even lie so often. Where - "not so often" is relative. We have had the car for two years now, and in time even the battery out, once the exhaust has fallen off (on the ring at the Luise-Kissel Bach-Platz, left lane, Rush Hour, very cool), the holiday was the air conditioning because they flooded the passenger footwell with condensation - and now has left the car in front suddenly ill started the rumble. If you drive south European cars, is learning to ignore chatter until it can no longer ignore, so off to the screwdriver with the furnace.
He was totally relaxed and thought that was probably because the coupling rod out or broken a spring, neither of the great things that would happen before. Was left behind by the burnt-lamp, I asked him to change to be done. Sure, he does.
This evening we picked up the car, it was the spring.
The tail light he had forgotten, so I've even bought a gas station in the bulb, can not be so hard.
is yet difficult. The Fiat Punto was one of the first small car tail lights, go through the entire carriage height, which extends into the roof bars. This lamp units are internally bolted with four screws and two screws attached to the car. To get hold of these bolts, you have two openings in the inner lining and openable with a special tool (a gun with a 17 mm nut's does) unscrew the nuts. This going to do nothing wrong, otherwise disappear in the nuts on Nimnmerwiedersehen rear of the car and take one for the rest of days with intense clatter to the last nerve.
Now that would be not all that difficult, if not the first owner of this car would have had the good idea to order from the factory sound package including a subwoofer. And the subwoofer sits - exactly in the trunk, on the side. And he covered the hole in the cladding, Durc must, if one wants to unscrew the tail light, because a bulb is burned out. That would be yet not really a drama, after all, but you can also unscrew the subwoofer. Not really: A screw is visible, not the second. After all, the subwoofer can after removing the one visible screw press so far as to side, that one gets to the nut for the rear light. Well, at least if your name is Luigi, is violin maker, and has received little fingers. If your name is Frank and something solid is built, it is unworthy of tinkering. Anyway, after about 45 minutes, the bulb replaced and everything back in place. And I had no bloody fingers. I make them that is only if one lamp burns out front.
who constructed such a shit?
UPDATE: The Fiat has a warning light that turns on a light bulb when the light is burned out. Laudable everyone should have. But: Even though I have replaced the broken tail light now, the warning light is still going on. Hmph.
