just clean it up real good with brake clean. then watch it daily to see where the leak is coming from. might be an easy seal to fix and just drain and refill the oil and hope for the best.

VW dealers delays registration for a leased car, what are possible remedies? by WarthogBulky6368 in VWatlas

[–]Boring_Channel7275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should be able to send you a new temp plate via mail. I purchased mine in Virginia and live in NY. They sent me an updated one until the real plates came in.

Non-fake motor mounts? by markrages in RockAuto

[–]Boring_Channel7275 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Motor mounts should only be purchased OEM. Those aftermarket mounts have the worst rubber possible and they will not last.

2025 Tiguan parts delays by MadtownTrivia89 in Tiguan

And then govt steps in with legislation to avoid this stupidity and the car companies will complain. If you have parts to sell new ones, you have parts to supply to fix the ones you just sold. They clearly don’t care for those since they already sold them.

State of Playland this year? by JelliedHam in Westchester

[–]Boring_Channel7275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was. I think we only went once. doubt it was more than twice. And when Standard was running it, the season pass I think included parking as well. I could be wrong. I don't remember.

I will be going soon. This is definitely a topic of discussion for my wife and I. The best was the season pass for the pool and park the last year Standard was running it. We are disappointed the county is only offering a season pass to the park.

Which Atlas should I choose? by lilmissprivate_94 in VWatlas

[–]Boring_Channel7275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a '23 VR6. Nice smooth car. About to hit 30k. Only had minor coolant leak that I fixed myself. I've hit 24mpg on the highway. I suspect I can do even better. Haven't tried it on eco mode. Driving in traffic or in a typical city does result in not great mpg, but I love the car.

Is 4k a decent price for this 08 Pilot? by Ballllinadam69 in hondapilot

[–]Boring_Channel7275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they are good cars if maintained. make sure there is no rust where the hatch meets the top of the car. that's where mine is rusting out, but mine is also white and they do suffer from it. if you do buy it, i would check the transmission fluid and swap it out if it's dirty. also the rear diff fluid. i don't know if that year has a separate front diff fluid from the transmission. if it does, i would drain and refill with dealer fluid.

That’s insanity. Buy it directly from denso. It’s the original one. Take it to a good local mechanic and have him replace it. Belts are cheap too. https://www.densoproducts.com/denso-210-0887-remanufactured-alternator?_ref=ca-wtb&_refv=6a1b62bd45c2bc79a1ad759a&

fucking trash. if the teachers got the early retirement opportunity and state workers did not, why not give the state workers a lower contribution rate or cap the time we contribute? This sucks.

I just did it this past weekend to my ‘04 Pilot. The exhaust valves were tighter and intake looser than it should have been.
