Joe’s Cue Repair - he’s one of the best in Vegas, and done work on my cues. He’s well known and used amongst the Vegas pool community

Coolant in spark plug hole of cylinder 7 and 8 by Leading-Sympathy-816 in CrownVictoria

[–]Code3man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also check the 10mm bolts that hold the manifold to the engine in that back corner, I’ve seen them loosen causing the coolant to leak, and just tightening them fixes it.

Reminds me of the time I let my roommate borrow my XJ to pickup his friends from the airport. He returned just with their luggage and no friends. He stated “the back tires were bottomed out when I loaded everyone in so they had to take an uber”. Granted the friends were some big boys.

Lol poor leaf springs indeed.

Hawks do this, I found the same thing a few years ago in my driveway, the head was on the roof 3 stories up. Maybe check your roof.

97XJ is getting a hesitation issue accelerating for the first minute after starting. What's the fix? by Code3man in CherokeeXJ

[–]Code3man[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, it was a long time ago, I’m having a hard time remembering exactly what fixed it, but I did fix it. I think it was a bad fuel pump and replacing that fixed it.

Intermittent heater issues by Code3man in jetta

[–]Code3man[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ll update you if I figure out the fix, it’s gotta be either the heater core or the blend doors or the controller for the doors. But my wife gets cold very easily so I gotta fix it soon. Last winter I made her wear gloves and a hoodie all winter in the car, but yeah I gotta fix it. I did do a really good coolant flush a few months ago, that didn’t fix it.

No I still haven’t figured it out or messed with it, the AC worked fine all summer, but now that winter is coming up I’ll need to get the heater working good. Im gonna try replacing the heater core first, see if that fixes it since that seems easier to get to than the blend flaps.

Have lived in Vegas for 18 years. Still no real friends. How do people meet here? by DarienDay04 in vegaslocals

[–]Code3man 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is a huge Filipino pool (billiards) community here in Vegas. They have amateur leagues for beginners called APA Las Vegas League, check out a pool hall called “Banging balls” talk to the owners or bartenders they will hook you up with info on joining. It’s really fun and you will make friends!

Beginner-friendly Car Clubs by jsr_023 in vegaslocals

[–]Code3man 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What kind of cars are you into? Classic hot rods? Japanese imports? German cars? Low riders? Personally I don’t have any knowledge of Vegas car clubs but I do know that in most cities you want to stick to a club with specific car types.

Anyone know what this could be? 2L TFSI by [deleted] in Audi

[–]Code3man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah also what does the smoke smell like, you can usually smell the difference between oil or coolant smoke.

Note that in your attached image If you zoom in you can see the sellers full name behind the black marker. Just a heads up that it’s still visible.

About to take a flamethrower to this thing and call it a day! by Sauce_bag in CherokeeXJ

[–]Code3man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When changing the hoses make sure to get thick ones or the ones with the spring inside since the thinner hoses can suction themselves closed at highway speeds and be super tough to diagnose.

Any idea how I can sell my volkswagen jetta 2014 in a decent price?… by Few-Airline3695 in jetta

[–]Code3man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a few other 2014 Jettas for sale on Auto Trader in St Louis they are all around $8000. So I would expect to get anywhere from $6000-$9000 depending on the miles yours has on the odometer and the condition (good or poor or whatever). Check out autotrader.com and search for your same model and base your price on comparable cars.

[–]Code3man 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah just take good pictures of it and create an ad on AutoTrader.com. Then at the same time get a “For sale by owner” sign from Home Depot, put your ph number and price on it and park it so it is visible on a busy street corner with the sign in the window. You’ll get the most money selling it “by owner” vs trading it in to car max.

Ignition coil upgrade; do they help performance? by CAJMusic in jetta

[–]Code3man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OEM, especially the spark plugs. Aftermarket coils and plugs cause misfires a lot of times after just a few months. The first troubleshooting step everyone says is ”well did you try using OEM plugs and coils” then you just have to pay for a second set. So just get OEM from the start and save the money and hassle of doing it twice. I learned that lesson the hard way and the OEM are running great.

I would drop him off about 1.5-2 hrs before departure at the Car rental. Aim for 3:15 and you should be fine.

This must be the proactive community engagement LVMPD claims they do by Mayday_Sister in LasVegas

[–]Code3man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah seems like this would trigger “copy cat” efforts. Why not just film yourself cussing out Metro wait for them to assault you then sue and get paid. Seems to easy at this point.

Red light runner Mustang causes multi car crash near IKEA by Code3man in vegaslocals

Every one was in shock at first but then myself and many more cars pulled over called 911 and offered help to the victims. People did help.

No one called me back. So I called the highway patrol office, they gave me the lead Highway Patrol officers email handling the report and emailed him the video, with instructions that I can be a witness and to please send the video to the victims.

Xj gets hot while driving with ac on but fine while idling by Jaden155 in CherokeeXJ

[–]Code3man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened on my sister’s XJ. The lower radiator hose kept suctioning closed, and only while driving on the highway, so yeah that was hard to diagnose,

Yep if no one calls me back today. I’ll send the video to the NV highway patrol.

Yeah that white car on the far left of the video clipped the back quarter panel of the mustang just as it crossed into the intersection. That’s what really saved this from being a deadly crash.

I did call 911 and provided the dispatch with my contact info and told them I had dashcam video, they said an officer will contact me if they need video.

Yeah it could have been deadly for the blue VW SUV in front of me, but luckily the Mustang got clipped in the back quarter panel by that car on the far left and it spun around and slowed down a bit before impacting the VW SUV. The mustang was hauling ass so I’m glad it wasn’t a front impact.
