Ok friday I had my basslink installed and as the kid was running a wire to the battery we see a mouse run from the corner of the car where the quarter panel meets where the windsheild wipers sit. The mouse then saw us then ran back in. We got a light and saw him in their then he took off under the plastic where my wipers are. Now I was very pissed and thought about all the horrible things that could happen to my car with a mouse living in it. I took off the engine manifold cover and not to my suprise I see acorns and shells, and mouse [censored]. Now I am really pissed and I am out of ideas to get this thing out of my car so I called my dealer and he told me to bring the car down saturday morning. So I got their and we looked under the cover and he got a tech and he said we can do one of 2 things. Either take the car apart which I declined, or he said if I buy some moth ***** and put them in the engine in a few places the mice will get out by themselves.

So everyone who lives where it is starting to get cold take off the cover, get a light and search in your engine becuase he said it was common in some parts at this time of year. ill let you guys know if the mouse eats a hole in my stillen intake and i suck him up and blow up my engine. Sorry for me venting but this was not a problem I thought I would encounter when I made the switch from lexus to infiniti

Did the mouse have a lady friend over when you busted their party. hehe, hope that mothball things works out for ya though.

 

Thats pretty funny. Too bad it's not a hamster instead of a mouse. Otherwise you can catch it and sell it to a RX-8 owner. A hamster in the engine manifold of that hamster-wheel powered rotary engine should give the RX-8 about a 8 to 10 horsepower gain.

 

mothballs?.... how bout a good ol mousetrap and some cheese!

Don't laugh, similar thing happened to me. I had mice living in my 300zx's mufflers AND in my Yamaha R1's exhaust and intake. I noticed the car when smoke was coming out of 1 muffler and not the other. Thought I blew something, but then realized it was dog food burning (kept dry dog food in garage). When I went home I started my bike and hit my father w/flying dog food when I revved it. I covered the motorcycle exhaust and then in the springtime it wouldn't start. I was like "what the F*ck!". Took the airbox apart and the whole cylinder shaped air-filter was full to the top w/dog food, no air was getting in. Needless to say, mouse-killing pellet food was left for them. Problem solved!

yah, I plan to replace their acorns deep in my manifold with a few moth *****. I hope they dont burn but if acorns arent then I suppose moth ***** wont either.

Hmmm... So let me get this straight...

You did not even contemplate the "mouse infestation issue" when you made the big move from Lexus to Infiniti...? Well, I guess that was *your* mistake.

I have read much over the years about the mouse infestation problems suffered by hordes of hapless Infiniti owners. I don't know how all these poor unfortunates have managed to miss the inherent rodent repellent qualities of Lexus automobiles.

Let this be a lesson to us all! :-)

Check all your electrical cables (really anything rubber)cause they will nibble on them and short you out.
Sounds funny? Try having your electrical harness replaced! That happened to a friend and his A4.
Maybe they only like German rubber.
