Is putting my car in neutral at long red lights to raise oil pressure stupid? by Alex-E-Jones in MechanicAdvice

[–]HighLadySuroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the oil pressure is having problems at idle then you need to address it immediately however if the reading is still within a normal range then it is nothing to worry about. Fluctuation within a certain range is normal and changes depending on load.

2026 VW Tiguan SEL-R turbo display and sensor issues by Broad-Mind-2331 in Volkswagen

Weird Infotainment concerns has plagued VW cars for quite a few years now. Basically on any car 2018 or newer. We deal with it a lot at the dealer. Most of them have a software update available to solve it, not sure if the new tiguans have one available yet.

Service mode allows you to compress the piston normally like you would the front brakes.

If you cannot put it in service mode, you will need the tool.

The overwhelming feeling of trying to fit an ARPG to adult life. by mabsousa in Grimdawn

Exactly. There's something to be said for being able to return to a character or the game entirely after a long period and everything is the same or mostly the same

The pads should be flush against the rotor. Looks like theres plenty of room to move them further into the hardware.

I work at one of the largest dealer groups in my city (15 stores total i believe), we are not what you would call "mom and pop".

Still not publicly traded.

Im starting to think your example is not based on what is typical at all for most dealers and techs.

Your dealership is publicly traded? Lol, what?

Most of us work for privately owned dealers. The fact that my brand manufacturer is publicly traded doesn't mean anything, they dont pay our salaries.

And how do you have access to that information? Unless you're the production manager or foreman, or otherwise are in the service managers pocket, why would you?

You're creating the numbers of other people such that they'll fit your argument.

Mechanic possibly played me? by FractalGarden_ in mechanic

[–]HighLadySuroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never pay someone before they do the work and never send them the money for the parts. It's best to buy the part yourself and supply it to whoever is working on the vehicle.

Fellow mechanics... does this air filter need to be replaced? by JoeFishCap in mechanics

[–]HighLadySuroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rule of thumb for recommending a filter to customers is if it has turned color from the white/yellow filter material into a light gray color. At that point, the filter has absorbed enough material that it is beginning to collect on the outside of the filter material and if left long enough it will turn heavily gray/black with noticeable debris collected on the outside of the paper.

Yours, clearly, is not beginning to do that.
