"Part Not Discovered" Bug!!!!!

[Sophie]

I have taken apart LITERALLY EVERYTHING on this car, done all the tests, inspected everything I could, and the game is STILL saying "Part not Discovered"!

Is this for the Roadmaster Story mission? If so, you're probably missing the radiator fan.

Oh thank christ, I disassembled the entire engine (twice because of the UI freeze bug and I had to restart), and I was seriously going to refuse to ever take that one again.

Or the fuel filter on the fuel tank lol I tore apart the whole engine and realized that fuel filter is part of engine

Had a similar mission with an air filter. Just keep looking EVERYWHERE. Customers often dont seems to know anything about their cars.

Well, without the work order infomation, I sure can't help you. If it is a story mission car, bad news, if it says all parts are to be 100%, the game may "hang" if your grabing parts off that are not 100%. And if it says 70%, it will hang if it is below 70%, because story mission cars are not like the other cars, the other cars are random.

Story line cars are specials, and there for you have to do what it says. Replace the customer car with NEW parts at all times, And anything else that may be missing, including body parts, no matter if it is listed or not..

You could be releaseing a car that was missing a licens plate... Just because it is not in the WO infomation means nothing, that is up to you to find..

I did one and all the parts were between 90 to 99%. And when replaceing bad breaks, I discovered that every part I touched to take off, it started stating that they were bad, I already changed the bad parts. But still would not stop claiming a NORMAL NEW BREAK IN CONDITION part was bad. So I had to change out all the parts with brand new parts. I got in one car it would tell me the part was not discoverd, I said forget it, I just rebuilt and restored the entire car. Had no issues releasing that.

And it said I found it, do not know what it ment, the list has increased because it took all the parts into account that were below 100%. So I do agree there is a bug, and I already informed this to Red Dot, but they see nothing wrong there. For me it is fustrating because I could care less about these story line cars, I already saw this problem comming when it was requested for CMS 2015.

So now, I do them once in a great while, IF I feel like it. I am like level 37 working on my second mill, and I only done 5 of these story line cars, but my EX points and my money was made on regular worthy customer calls and restores from junkyard and barnyard sales..

I think they place them like that because there are many players that are unable to understand clearly, the car condition infomation is nothing more than infomation as well as the game leeway so the game can release the car with these exsiting parts in this condition, not the base part to be installed by the player. It never was. As a shop they always had to be 100% new from the store..

OBTW...
On the engines you may need to dump the oil and pull the oil pan to insspect the main bearings, and engines useing rocker arms and rods you may need to pull off the valve covers to inspect them..

Some engines have fuel pumps mounted to them, but the game car still works also with the one in the tank. They didn't set it up so there is just a tank in the rear due to the fuel pump on the block. So it will still read the pump in the tank. Even if you had to change the one on the block..

Thanks for the reply and info. I will try to find what I'm missing (y)

About story missions there is one simple way to make sure only parts needed are 100% the rest can be whatever (well preferabley the ones that came from the car). As you find all the broken things mark all the stars - that will outline the actual parts durring assembly - those outlined must be 100% and the rest as i said just put whatever was on the car back in.

From What I have seen the darker the area gets the more likley the part is inside there somewhere, Like someone said it could be the main bearing, or throwout bearing.
I looked forever and almost gave up once becuase I never thought of looking at the transmission.

Have you verified if you had both B clips? Somtimes, it can be as stupid as that. If it's not that, maybe you're missing some other pieces? Like radiator, fans..... sometimes the game like to mess you with those.
