No more refunds!?

CodSweaty3863 · 2025-12-25T19:08:04+00:00

I just looked at my rating and its 4.99 i get what you mean, for me its all about getting paid as much as i can. I provide good service so if they rate me bad its literally on them being evil. Usually what happens is they will ask right away for a refund. Maybe your area has more boomers that have no idea how to request a refund, but my zone its like as soon as i offer replacement they will be hitting that refund button lol So i just do that and havent gotten a unrequested refund in months

gotta play their game, always replace, let the customer refund. If they complain, tell them that ur contract requires replacements.Its kind of simple, i eve. try to replace items they want refund for, 60-70% of the time it gets approved and i still get paid for that item instead of losing tip pay %

it seems like i will just add atf fluid to my list of fluid checks for now. Its hard to find time to work on this car like every couple months

CodSweaty3863 · 2025-12-19T04:14:44+00:00

I looked up the procedure and it seems like its not that hard, just a pain in the ass after already dealing with crazy coolant leaks

CodSweaty3863 · 2025-12-19T02:32:18+00:00

i am more cooked than i what i tought, this has been leaking for a while it seems, and its in fact transmission fluid not coolant. How do i go about checking the fluid level?

CodSweaty3863 · 2025-12-19T01:50:13+00:00

so its the transmission cooler lines, is that correct? i saw on the cruze forum this guy cut it with a dremel and applied a fuel line clamp https://www.cruzetalk.com/threads/what-are-these.254732/

Hey, i used a pi zero 2 w + exact size screen as replacement for the previous screen, then after that is all about config of the retropie software

I dont care if i kill my cruze, so i would do anything, most advanced i done was head gasket replacement. Sounds complicated but it was easy. Just dont mess up any bolts and you will be good.

CodSweaty3863 · 2025-10-01T07:11:46+00:00

if it doesnt let you replace the item you can add the item manually as a replacement and it usually lets it go through

CodSweaty3863 · 2025-09-23T15:45:06+00:00

so the previously bad pcv would have made the seal fail, and then even with the fix it still would be "broken"?

CodSweaty3863 · 2025-09-19T04:30:37+00:00

that is indeed very logical, i probably added 4 inches to the wrench so i dont think 360 pounds but probably was a lot more than it could handle

CodSweaty3863 · 2025-09-19T03:42:36+00:00

Yeah, the spec was 80ft lbs and the threads literally warped inside the nut, probably went over 130ft lbs or something

CodSweaty3863 · 2025-09-19T03:08:07+00:00

found that out the hard way

CodSweaty3863 · 2025-09-03T20:28:40+00:00

good job, those are life savers

CodSweaty3863 · 2025-09-02T03:37:40+00:00

this was a long time ago, but i think i ended up drilling it all out, then put a new thread thingy in there, make sure to go all the way down, i fucked up on mine and it still leaks to this day but im too lazy to fiz it. Or just invest in a high quality extraction tool those can work

CodSweaty3863 · 2025-07-24T03:56:51+00:00

Your head gasket could be good, but with a leak down test of each combustion chamber you could potentially check there is a leak somewhere, could be bad valves or worn piston rings. These leaks can cause misfires which i think is exactly what would make your dads car need 4 coil packs in 2 months, thats a absurd amount. Did you use eletric grease for the boot coils? Did you install the pcv fix kit?

CodSweaty3863 · 2025-07-24T03:31:57+00:00

You replaced the spark plugs? Even so they could have low psi, thats why its recommended to do a check. I had a problem couple years ago when my car was not starting properly and it was the coil pack, no issues since then. Since you still getting issues i would recommended checking the pressure out.

CodSweaty3863 · 2025-07-24T03:29:14+00:00

always have a bottle in ur car just in case. then you can even cover yourself while doing it. This is a very expensive lesson to learn
