In auto repair, what the books tell you != apply to real life. Never does. I think its a joke played on by the auto manufacturers.

- jlgreco 14y agoI'm still going with merely knowing that your job is to replace the sparkplugs gives you a leg up. You seem to have a pretty firm grasp on how complicated the task is and what is involved, which is already a head start.
- orangethirty 14y agoIn most cases no. You do have an idea of what you have to do (as in software), but nothing too exact. Worse when its an European brand that pleases itself in over-engineering everything.
- jlgreco 14y agoWell as I said, "If it were between fixing an unknown issue with said car and fixing some code, then I would say it might be a wash." If we're comparing an unknown with an unknown, that seems reasonable, but comparing a known (replacing spark-plugs on that particular car) with an unknown seems foolish, no matter how physically difficult that known may be.
