Not really a meme but it's funny tho. We have picked random quotes and made them look like tech notes from Stellantis and then posted them all over the building.

Tightening the crank bolt on an Audi five cylinder.
It is really a bad design, the harmonic damper bolts to the timing sprocket, which is sintered and will break if the bolt comes loose. Which it will because long cranks have a ton of torsional vibration and the harmonic damper does not bolt to the crank.
Torque spec is something like 263 ft-lb.

Check out the label on a pack of disposable razors.
Every year we get a nostart that is because someone installed a battery and didn't remove the protective covers from the terminals. This is at every place I have ever worked.

In the twelve years I've worked as a mechanic I've never seen that one, somehow. Nor the sparkplug as an oil drain plug either.
My favorite sticker I've seen was one on a distributor, sealing the cap to the body, that said "Warranty voided if removed". And just how are you supposed to install a distributor properly if you don't remove the cap?
In reply to NickD :
You need to work at an indie shop, where you get referrals from the FLAPS.
In hindsight I did never see it when I worked at a Saturn dealership. I would say it would take a special effort to put a side terminal battery in with the protectors on, but I did see one where they tried to jam those little anti corrosion mats between the cable and the battery, at an indie. All contact was through the bolt.
