FTO AUSTRALIA

ok i think i have been having the worst luck with my car for the past 2 weeks

1. alternator was stuffed
2. got defected
3. car went into limp mode the other day
4. car struggled to go past 3k rev
5. i was driving and my power steering belt decided to just come off and i haaaaave no idea how and its brand new since we got a major service when we bought the car. the belt looked worn out.

i think its time to let her go

Damn, i thought i was having bad luck haha,
Ill swap u for my flooded fto
Haha

Hahah nah don't think I'll get another fto
But damn a flooded fto sounds nasty

Oh for gods sake, harden the f**k up & fix it!

Limp mode is probably a shot input or output sensor, check the error codes. Would also explain you not being able to rev it past 3k. Cheap part, cheap fix.
Changing a power steering belt is a 3 minute job & a 20 buck belt.

Hahah Im at the mechanics getting the spare one installed!
Yeah gna ask them to check for error codes too
It was also embarrassing coz I had a girl with me.. Hahah

Mildly suspicious that the belts would have been off last when they put in the other alternator a week or 2 ago...

bet ya they forgot to tighten the ps tensioner pulley bolt.

Always better to do the work yourself, at least you know it's done right.

Was it embarrassing because you couldn't handle the steering without the assistance of the power steering? Did she have to help you steer?

nah i didnt know it was the power steering since i was just traveling along a straight line so i thought it wouldve been something else. and i didnt know it was a belt until i pulled over coz my friend pulled over as well and he said that a rubber thing came off and he ran over it haha.

she even said "i heard your car was falling apart" haha full jinxed it
