just had to post this!
we had a TDi camper come in the workshop yesterday - sounded awful - barely running as if the timing belt had gone - so we take the cover off the belt and what do we find?........A FISH! no kidding got under the belt, caused the belt to jump and did the valves!
customer comes on monday - i am sooo looking forward to this conversation! :lol:

Gotta wonder where they were driving when that happened...my first bus was a beach bus - I remember finding sand and sea shells all crusted up on top of the transmission years after I bought it...
