Having worked on some BMWs, this is actually a non-recommended but indeed a possible way to cut some long repair times by 90%. Most notably, a 4 hour recirculation membrane replacement job on an 325d (? i dont remember), which would require removing intake, injector rail and some other things is done with an abomination like that through the wheel well in 15 minutes.

Yeah I used something only slightly less extreme to remove an alternator bolt on my Fit. Two extensions, a u-joint and an adapter and the ratchet was still rubbing against the air filter box and the body. This saves having to take off the intake as there's no space to undo the bolt otherwise

Modern cars, especially those with transverse engines and transaxels, are an absolute pain in the rear end to work on. No room at all under the hood

No room at all under the hood When I worked at a Farm and Home store fifteen years ago as a manager, I would sometimes have to fix tire punctures or replace batteries when the auto guy was on lunch. Some sweet old lady brought in her car for a new battery. The loving thing was under the back seat and required some obscure knowledge to even get it open. She had to wait for the actual auto guy. Edit: I don't remember what kind of car it was but the battery was similar to this:

actually FCA has arguably done worse than the wheel well setup and the Durango's battery is in a hidden compartment in the floor under the front passenger seat I swear they must have one designer in the mid 00s who had an actual sexual fetish for Punished Maintenance shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 13:41 on Sep 28, 2021 |

Some sweet old lady brought in her car for a new battery. Xsara Picasso has it under the driver's butt. It's not hard to access but a bit confusing first, and of course causes extra hassle if you are testing your car and would need to sit on the driver's bench to start the car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLFQYhewOEw

Annoying car maintenance chat? I used to have a 1991 MR2 turbo with every single power option (electric-assist power steering was an option) and my alternator died. To get it off you have to go up underneath the engine by one of the axles. Problem is you physically can't get it past the axle. You had to remove an axle to get it out. I had a FSM and it basically treated a fair amount of maintenance procedures like you had the engine dropped out of the car. Not long after that, my water pump self destructed on me and was basically inaccessible without at least partially dropping the engine. It was a fun car to drive, but a horrible maintenance nightmare any time anything needed to be fixed.

I think the video of the Tesla hitting a tree and spraying burning batteries all over the place has already been posted in this thread, I think the guy who took the video took it down since two occupants died. Does seem like evidence that it's relatively easy to start them on fire though

Batteries in the trunk tend to survive accidents better. It's a good move. People do it all the time to make room in the engine compartment for whatever poo poo they try to bolt on, I think some racing series require it be more internalized, with a cutoff switch. But manufacturers hiding them isn't uncommon. Why put it somewhere accessible when you can hide it and charge 2 hours labor to replace it every 5 years?

You can only change the headlights on my Mazda by going in behind the front wheels and tearing out the plastic rivets on the splash guards, pulling the guard out of the way (it moves about 3 inches) then blindly fishing around until you find the light fixtures. As an added bonus the plastic is so cheap it shatters in the cold as I discovered trying to replace them in a Minnesota January. So now I take my car to a mechanic to replace my bulbs, which is great.

My wife has an Escape where the battery is under the windshield cowl. Book method is remove the entire windshield cowl, swap battery, reinstall and pray you get the wipers, etc all back on correctly. It's like a 3.5hr Book job. Or you remove the airbox and the front of the battery holder is held in with two clips and you pull it out the front, which takes about 30 minutes start to finish. Bless whoever invented ratcheting wrenches.

Took it to the mechanic and the desk clerk first smirked, then got really confused when the standard quote was 4 hours and was like "I'm sure we'll be done before that and update your labor total." Then took all 4 hours.
