It usually has to be returned as a core to the place the replacement engine comes from. So ask about your core charge if you were charged one or not. Then if not the old scrap engine is technically yours. Most mechanics will keep them and add them to their own scrap piles.
Not worth much on your own then sometimes hauling to a scrap yard can be a pain.
Yeah that’s high.
Diag fee should have been dropped at minimum…
If you have paid it already then it’s a done deal. Just don’t use that mechanic again.
Probably in the car, take a flashlight and really dig in. These cars don’t go too far without the keys in them.
German cars can be a pain as the keys usually have to be cut per instance and shipped from Germany. Sometimes without the old key can actually be a pain.
Need a better impact or a bigger breaker bar. They will come off or you break the lugs, either way, they coming off!!
5 hours!!?? wtf! 🤣🤣 15 mins bro she’s good. You guys crack me up! Tools can be rented, tools can be purchased and returned in a real pinch. Like others have also said.
Clean it, drill it, thread it, small amount of black rtv silicone around the brass fitting, tighten, clean hose of broken nipple, place hose on brass and if you really want to make sure it’s sealed let sit overnight or at least a few hours.
I have successfully done this job too many times and some not even threaded a hole. I could make a damn BIC ink pen work for the fix. Hell a BIC ink pen and BIC lighter she’s ready to roll!!
Oh yeah all this done under and hour. In my garage sitting here 15 mins then wait for silicone to dry.
How many other ways you need to fix it? I don’t suspect you could successfully pull off this fix especially not replace the radiator. Not all of us have money laying around.
4k and truck still doesn’t run. That’s your fault 🤣🤣 take some responsibility.
“Fuck off” is actually the best response to give them. You’re not responsible for shit.
Matter fact they are trash for even saying anything about a used tire. Get your ass kicked around here for stupid shit like that.
This is a real mechanics response, hell yeah done more than one. I would never replace a radiator for such, easy fix.
Why give any money to a rental company if you have your own car… Drive it and use that money for fuel. No reason your car shouldn’t make it based on the information provided. Good luck!
That’s just Kia quality!! Wouldn’t fix that shit be on to another car!
Never seen someone replace a blower from the drivers side… 🤔 I’m not blaming Nissan for this one 🤣🤣
That’s high I would get a good used one from LKQ or similar and swap it myself. Probably save 600-700$ bucks
