I've suffered my second mechanical failure at 226K miles (bought it at 194K).

The first was the knock sensors and now- a burned out license plate bulb!

This Q is a money pit, I might drive it into a lake if it keeps this up!

If you think that's bad... just today the winshield washer fluid fill cap cracked when I opened it. Might have had something to do with it being 8* outside, but still, I expect more of my 15 year old Q.

Better flush your blinker fluid and replace your muffler bearings while you're at it!

I use mobile1 75w90 Diff fluid for my blinker fluid. My blinking has never been so smooth.
