I have a neighbor who I will call Jim. This morning I said to him what are you working on Jim? He said I am working on a girlfriend's 2005 VW Golf. I said what is wrong with it? The girlfriend told Jim that the fan would not quit running so I took off my shoe and put the shoe in the fan to stop it running. That stopped it running but Glen says it caused a bunch of damage including the plastic shroud.
Jim explained the fan would not stop running because the accessory belt driving the water pump was broken and missing. Jim further explained that the woman owner was a red head. I suggested he get a a blond next time. Woman owner was also incensed that her shoe was broken as well. While Jim is fixing her car she flew off to Miami and will be back in ten days to hopefully a fixed car. I do have some great neighbors!
