Guys I have a problem.
So I have a 2005 Hyundai Getz with a 1.5 CRDI diesel engine, and it wobt start. I've had it for the last 3 months.
Before not starting at all without jumper cables it had a hard time getting started (took like 3 rotations to start). So today before going to the shop it started as usual and everything worked. But then I parked it and when I came back I tried to start it and every light turned on then turned off as usual, but when I tried to start it nothing happened. Then I hooked it up on jumper cables and it came to life after a few tries, except the air conditioning, wipers and lights won't turn on.
So guys, what could be the problem?

How cold is it where you are? Could be a combination of fucked glow plugs and a tired battery.
>>
>>16186333
Right now, it's 10 degrees celsius. I will try the battery idea.
>>
>>16186345
Do you have any tools for checking the battery/alternator? Voltmeter or multimeter?

Windscreen wipers stopped working on almost completely wet, pouring conditions while doing 110km/h on the motorway. I was sticking my head out the window so I could see. Had to pull over on dirt road to fix them and squeeze back into traffic.

What's the point of a pushrod engine in 2016?

Alright, why the fuck is getting a car loan so absurd. I mean I physically walked into the dealership and told the guy I had the money to buy it cash, showed him, and said I need to slowly bring it back (election betting) I have a 732 score and basically got told to go fuck myself after putting 1000 down. Fucking Jews ruining everything for the white man.

You had the money to buy in cash but you needed to slowly bring it back.
That's what you said and it makes absolutely no sense. I would have kicked you into the street too.

Annual tune-ups are a meme on modern cars, the exception being oil changes.

Twice. I re-sync my carbs to cope with the temp change and do anything else than need doing.

my dd, not even once, gets plugs every 2 years.
my old car will get tuned for cold weather. and new plugs every spring.

Here is a diesel engine that will run a million miles without drama. However you will never find it in a modern truck for the following reasons:
>it has no power
>it pollutes the air
>it's noisy and rough
>it hoovers fuel
>it's huge
The era of good diesels is over. Consumers are too precious for an engine such as this.

Is it possible to get this engine, within reason, to handle 800+ hp? As in:
>pull engine
>pistons, rods, bearings, etc
>proper fuel upgrades
>big ass turbo
>80-90's 300D Merc
Thanks! Not much info online and did a few diesel trucks, was wondering about merc diesels.

Does anyone else have this intense urge when they are driving to just jerk the steering wheel as hard as they can in a single direction and fucking crash?
Why do I have this feeling? I'm not depressed or stressed. Anyone else get that feeling?
