I changed the P/S pump on my woman's 99 Cavalier 2.2 this weekend. It was kind of a bitch, had to take the passenger side motor mount off.

Anyway, she called me this morning all frantic and saying how there was this horrible noise coming from her engine. She was totally freaking out about it so we talked about getting her a newer car that isn't a Cavalier...I figured she had a bad lifter or something.

So she calls me at lunchtime:

"Hey, I fixed the problem..."
"Oh, great, what was it?"
"You left a pair of pliers in my engine and they were rattling off the serpentine belt"
":hsugh:"

 

I was waiting to almost read:

And then she came home and there I was standing there holding her motor mount.

 

Damn

 

damn, thats pretty bad.

i was expecting something like "after you worked on my car, the brakes totally dont work, and since you changed my power steering pump, its totally your fault!"

big reason why i dont work on other people's cars anymore

 

That sucks. h:

 

Glad nothing happened to her while she was driving.

But that's pretty bad man. :chuckles:

 

h: Whenever I work on friend's cars I actually make them sign a waiver unless they help me the entire time. I will work on cars for beer and the understanding of no liability :usa:

her brakes were already messed up That car is horrible.

 

oh shit!

:rofl: :rofl:

hope you put the cap back on the powersteering reservoir

:hsdunno: it happens

 

on another note, i've left a couple of things in my gf's crv's engine bay.

channel locks and hose pinchers (the big kind, same size as channel locks, clamped on to coolant return hose on the throttle body), for a few weeks. did i tell her?

no :rick:

 

meh like stated not a big deal.....

ive left pry bars and 18" rachets in the engine bay of the teg before, then when i need it again do i only realize where it prolly is
