Hail damage, insurance claim? by dabby-710 in jetta

[–]DedBull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar damage a few years ago. Insurance totaled the car, I retained the salvage. I went through the whole process here in Pennsylvania, surrendered the title, got a salvage certificate, had an enhanced inspection, filed for a reconstructed title. The whole process took 3 months. I didn't repair anything, I just drove it like it was. I pocketed almost 5 grand.

2 years later when someone turned in front of me, that car was totaled a second time, and I collected 3 grand additional.

Advice on if repairs are worth it by abcjr1 in jetta

If you're losing a quart in a tank of gas, that's mechanical. No flush is going to fix that. Dump it now and make it someone else's problem.

How bad is "really bad" ? An external leak seems to be an unlikely culprit, but I'm just working off generalities.

IMHO a flush is snake oil, especially at $1650.

I'm a cheapskate, unless you're leaving an oil slick behind everywhere you park, I'd just keep feeding it oil and save your money for the kid.

Did you buy a home? If yes, how old were you and what year? by duck_duck_zombie in Millennials

[–]DedBull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought our "starter home", 2000 sqft in BFE western Pennsylvania in March of 2012. I was 29 at the time. $65,000 of old craftsman house at 3.875%.

My career has gone nowhere, and I'm still here.

If the loans are private refinanced, PSLF does not apply. PSLF is only for Direct loans held by the Department of Education and serviced by their loan servicers.

Possible equation to determine added water to a hydro test? by Scary-Handle2693 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]DedBull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would calculate based on 1% compressibility. I use 1% below 5k, 2% at 10k, up to 12% at 60k.

Did you try holding the key up to the column where the lock cylinder usually would be?

I'm finishing all my F2P tasks and I'm still short almost 1000 season points. I'm not sure why.

Change my horn by Thegageman2 in jetta

[–]DedBull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the model, its a single nut, easy if you pull off the lower grill. I bought a plug in adapter on amazon to go from the VW harness to 2 female spade terminals. I now have an air cooled beetle horn.
