[wheels6x2]

this is the first order i have had a problem with
got all red parts but can not pass it do some of yellow need changed thanks

[Oparator Stalker]

target bad red parts have to be replaced by target green parts, this is from my other old post, look at the check list and locations of were the bad parts were at...

"Maybe the reason your stuck is most likly, you may have over looked something...

I have played the Car Mechanic simulator 2014 since it was first out.
I have compleated all jobs without a hitch. As well as the 4x4 add-on.
Then again I use to work in a mechanic shop,
I towed cars, and even was a mechanic on skid steer bobcats (construction equipment) So I know my way compleatly around a shop...

Ask yourself, do you have a shop pratice that you set for yourself? This is mine....

Repair order "Repaired" Good to go, Proceed to the next....

I placed up a guide way at the beggining called
"Auto Repair Manual Class for Car Mechanic Simulator 2014"

The purpose of this guide was to teach the basics of shop pratice, and learn what the parts are and why they fail. This maybe a game, but the problems and parts are a reflection of the real world ones. So the infomation is based on that. If you knew what they are, and why they go bad, makes trouble shooting easer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: But it dosen't tell me what I need to change at what work order..

A: Yeah, got that right. I will never lay out a "parts changer list". I wouldn't do it in the real shops, not gonna do it here. I am sure someone will come up with another walk through one day. But this Guide stands as is no matter what Red Dot throws at you. Understanding what the parts are and why they fail, creating yourself a shop pratice, you will always be on top of things so if Red Dot toss you a sneeky one, you'll still cach it..

All I will do, is update the guid to any new part they put in the game..This time such as transfer case, next time when the turbo is available I will place that. because I have to see what they did first, But I will post a "Let you Know" for each add-on that becomes available.

Q: I'll wait until another walk through is made and then I will play again...

A: have a good time, ttyl!! :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What you see here is my shop pratice routine. As you see, I have covered everything. So if your stuck on 13, restart the work/repaire order, and fallow through to what I did, or go read the guide and try again. Car is still a machine that needs mechanic work, dosen't matter if it is 2 wheel, 4 wheel, 4x4, turbo, jet powered, gone to the moon with a cow and 4 bears....getting me?

Now go have fun :)"

I noticed something strange on the 4x4 (don't know if it works on other cars).When you dissasemble the oil filler plug to put some oil in and quickly press the right mouse button to stop,it doesn't put the cap back on and it's in your inventory and you can even see it's condition.Then you can simply put it back on in assemble mode normally like any other part.So cool and strange.

Just so you know, I passed on the first time without a hitch, and just only the red parts. I have the same game. You have to replace the red target part with a new one at 100%. Or you won't pass.

what parts changes in order 18
i found air filter spak pug water pump fuel pump and fuel filter test drive no red part nocheck

[Robshootuit]

i repaired and replaced all those parts and it wouldn't check it for me i think there might be a bug in this order because i tried it a few times but it will not check it for me even if i take appart the whole car and reinstall ever part.

[wheels6x2]

try a test drive

already did that and everything else i could think of, but it just doesn't work.

How about a oil change

the oil change gets checked when i pull up the repair list, but the other one doesn't:/

[highcliffhound]

having the same issue will not check off. all items are repaired, tried it a second time took every single piece of the vehicle apart redone it again same thing..

[oldeguy]

I have restarted this order THREE times, I have trplace or refurbished EVERY SINGLE part of the jeep (ALL GREEN at great expense), changed the oil twice each restart, double checked everything in my inventory, rode a est drive, test path, tuned the chp, won't complete. BAH this pisses me off.

[Team Triss]

Yeah, I've replaced all of those parts and I'm stuck, too.

EDIT: Aha, I think I solved it. I followed the above guide closely. I had already repaired everything on the list, but what I ended up doing was swapping some parts around. Like I'm sure a lot of you did, I disassembled everything before seeing what I needed, bought in bulk, and then put it all back together, just grabbing parts as it went along. I'm guessing that because you need 80+% parts to be considered complete, if you put a 65% part from another place where the broken one was, the game didn't consider it complete even though you replaced the crappy part.

sound like a theory lets see if this works for others to:)

It's simple, the order has a criteria which is outside the game rules and wrong.

The fuel pump is at 68%, well within standards, and colored yellow, so it is a perfectly adequate part. However, if you don't replace it (I always replace bad parts with 100% quality, whether purchased or repaired in my garage), the mission will not show the order as completed. (In addition to fixing all the other problems of course)

It's that simple.

P.S. - And no, the theories here that the "order" of parts replacement, I.E. a formerly bad part must be EXACTLY replaced with a PERFECT part, and not swapped with an ADEQUATE part that was already on the vehicle is simply wrong.

I've completed all the game modules, multiple times, and also done dozens of the infinite levels, never at any time keeping track of original or replacement part locations, and never once has it impeded completion of the game.

Those who profess this theory are welcome to do a ton of unit testing (it would be huge, because you have to do it "wrong" a dozen different ways for dozen of missions and then do it the "theoretical way" to PROVE the theory - I.E. THOUSANDS of permutations) and show us the facts, but at this point it still remains an "old wives tale"
