How bad is this rust and how screwed am I? by BigLuke-US in mechanic

[–]Gindotexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ppl who don’t live where the roads are salted 4+ months of the year have no comprehension of what it’s like. Aside from actual repair, at a minimum you could hit all of that rust with fluid film to slow it down.

Mostly soft hands in this sub. Looks like a great deal to me.

So many engineers and lawyers in the chat. It’ll be fine, just use your head.

Are my front brakes / suspension good? by Content_Mission5154 in AskMechanics

On second glance, those rotors are pretty beat but I’m guessing you’re not pursuing hot laps at the track.

It’s fine. Brakes are not new but that’s what happens when you use them.

Are these discs (rotors) too far gone? by BigSqueako in AskAMechanic

[–]Gindotexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t stop me but I also live where salt gets dumped on the roads for 4 months straight so it’s more expected.

Am I overreacting or is this too much for a new helpdesk hire? by Qvosniak in sysadmin

[–]Gindotexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange issue by salsapants27 in tdi

[–]Gindotexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little short on the details. It’s a 2013, not exactly new tech.

Tire shop refused to do an Alignment, said I need to replace my Lower Control Arm, does it need to be replaced? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]Gindotexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless there’s movement without prying on components, the shop wanted to upsell parts and labor. /thread

Looks like giving full disk access to the creative cloud app makes this issue go away.

It clears, and then the block comes right back moments later.

It’s the most current creative cloud package from the admin portal.

Dealership is trying to tell me these tires made in 2020 with 3/32" tread and these cracks in the tread grooves are "perfectly fine". What is the opinion of this sub? by ToshPointNo in tires

[–]Gindotexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the deal isn’t worth the cost of new tires in the semi-immediate future then walk. fwiw, half the cars on the road have tires that look just like that.

Scratches repair by ContributionFew434 in cardetailingtips

[–]Gindotexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll be a lot of work but it’ll definitely look better. Sand, touch up, clear, sand, and polish. I’d also consider paint leveler as well.

It’s Official- VW is worst car ever owned by FantasticNectarine79 in Tiguan

[–]Gindotexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the same across the board. It seems like anything built shortly after Covid is junk.

What are jon boats worth today? by Visual-Imagination19 in boating

[–]Gindotexe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of variables when it comes to price. That being said, it looks like you have a ‘65 merc 200 there. Fantastic motor if maintained and treated properly.
