So, I was getting ready for work. I warmed up the car, did all that, and started driving. After a while, the fun began. The relay for the turn signals started clicking more quietly and at irregular intervals. Then the stereo cut out. I step on the gas, and if I push the pedal past a certain point, the car starts to lag/loses power. I didn't have a multimeter with me, so while driving I decided to check the voltage using the remote starter. It showed 9.8 volts))) I immediately turned around and headed home. I parked, and then I couldn't even start the car again. So yeah, that's the situation.Throttle body hose burst

I took a vacation, and the very next day (when leaving the store) I found this little sad sight. Good thing I haven't gone far yet. By the looks of it, it seems to be leaking from the hose near the thermostat. I hope it's not the water pump. We'll have to check it out(( but other than that, the car is a joy. Unfortunately, I don't have that much time to tinker with the car.Front wheel hub bearing replacement
