Had a lady call today that we did a fuel sender sensor in her 09 hyundai sante fe,they were under the seat and being so the job made the interior smell like fuel. She asked how long the inside would smell like gas? I told her well it's only been 12hrs and it may take a few days. Then she asked if it was normal for her car to burn oil, because she didn't see any leaks and it was 1.25qts low. But she was slightly over her oil change miles...i asked how many
....oh 7-8k...i told her oh you're lucky it was only that low and i would not recommend going that far over.

When I worked at Lexus...
Solid-strand house wiring no less. Customer/installer claimed to be an engineer,he was an a-hole.
I mean... I guess it might work, but what the hell for?

Must be the new Lexus hyperdrive.
I hope this guy is not a civil engineer.:wow:

A DC-AC power converter...maybe that was his (flawed) logic,since it'll be powering household items it has to be wired likewise LOL
I don't recall what type of engineer, but he told the service writer and service manager something like "I'm an engineer,I know how cars work so I'll know if you're trying to rip me off " several times, hence the reason I called him an a-hole.

That don't mean much. I've met engineers that didn't know how their shoelaces worked.

Customer installed his own suspension parts and wanted an alignment.
WHAT THE HELL DID HE DO??
I would love to know how much his stupidity cost him there haha
This thread reminded me of a damn funny chain email I got a while ago about ground maintenance crews:
________________________________________________________
Apparently, after every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a 'gripe sheet', which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' Pilots and the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers.
Pilots: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
Engineers: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
Pilots: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
Engineers: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
Pilots: Something loose in cockpit.
Engineers: Something tightened in cockpit.
Pilots: Dead bugs on windshield.
Engineers: Live bugs on back-order.
Pilots: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
Engineers: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
Pilots: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
Engineers: Evidence removed.
Pilots: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
Engineers: That's what they're for.
Pilots: Suspected crack in windshield.
Engineers: Suspect you're right.
Pilots: Number 3 engine missing.
Engineers: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
Pilots: Aircraft handles funny.
Engineers: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
Pilots: Target radar hums
Engineers: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
Pilots: Mouse in cockpit.
Engineers: Cat installed.
Qantas Pilot: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
Engineers: Took hammer away from midget

What am I looking at?
I'm afraid I'm extremely new to all of this, so don't flame me! :boxer:
That said, even I can tell there is something just not right about how that bottom fitting is moving and crushing the boot...

The nut on the ball joint stud isn't torqued. From hearing the guys on the audio talk about it, there appears to be some parts missing. The owner presumably drove the car to the shop like that...

Looks like my 350z underneath and it looks like they forgot to install the cones on the ball joints when they replaced them.
