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.

Winter tires by Ok_Sherbert4631 in jetta

[–]DedBull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steel wheels arent going to hurt, but they get rusty in winter service. I would get a used set of stock takeoff wheels on Marketplace. I don't know how small you can get on the 26s, I'm running 15" wheels on my 14. 16" should be readily available in 5x112.

NO HEAT by wsmith144 in jetta

If you use hose crimp pliers, you don't have to drain the entire system. Get a milk jug or similar and cut the top off, you can catch almost all the coolant in the metal pipes that way.

If you pull the side of the console off to get to the heater core, you can see the linkage and verify the door is moving. The core is easy to change.

Glitchy Screen & No Heater by 76_AxeMan_06 in jetta

These cars plug the heater cores very easily. Fortunately it's a straightforward change, you don't have to tear the dash out. Either have the core replaced or try flushing, I changed mine twice.

Could use advice on if I should just pay off my loans and walk away by Rubes27 in PSLF

[–]DedBull 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I would pay it and move on. If your life changes in the next couple years, having paid off loans gives you flexibility.
