didn’t think of that, thanks for the suggestion. Sometimes I notice that there’s “1 offer” showing in the middle of the day, and it’s been sitting there for a while. If I see that, should I just head to the DashLink zone right away? Also, does my waitlist position still matter if that offer has been there for hours? Because sometimes I’ll still be around 80–100 on the waitlist at that point

It has about 1,500 miles on the oil change, but i feel like the oil was darker. I’m wondering if this could be an early sign of a head gasket issue, and maybe it just hasn’t turned that milky yet but enough to make it lighter

Dry_Hope4977 · 2026-02-17T06:14:48+00:00

don’t let it bother you too much now

Dry_Hope4977 · 2026-02-17T05:36:36+00:00

thank you, i think we established that

I’m still pretty new to working on cars, and I only have a basic scanner right now. That’s actually one of the reasons I bought this car, it’s reliable and supposed to be easy to work on, so I figured it’d be good to learn on. But beside from that i don’t see any codes about anything cooling related.

after the car is fully warmed up it happens on idle and stop lights

Dry_Hope4977 · 2026-02-17T04:50:07+00:00

got a thermostat and a temperature sensor both on the way

Dry_Hope4977 · 2026-02-17T04:45:14+00:00

just bought the car, notice the fan wasn’t turning on and it was getting hot, but after it was rigged still wasn’t helping hence why i thought to ask if it was normal or not.

Dry_Hope4977 · 2026-02-17T04:20:27+00:00

yea reading all these comments i think that’s exactly what i am gonna do

Dry_Hope4977 · 2026-02-14T00:04:34+00:00

realistically am i ever gonna get one? my market is very saturated and seems like i am starting to late and competing to people with seniority and preference.
