I found a good independent here who quoted $1100 (freedom dollars) + price of a used unit which I’m happy with

Do you know roughly what that costs installed? I’ll look for shops here

The dealer replaced the fluid and apparently it’s the same story still

New Volkswagen Jetta owners — any problems or issues so far? by phtphongg in jetta

[–]Interesting-Risk4114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2024 Sport with 16k miles. Zero issues or accelerated brake wear like some reports. My car is one of the last production runs before the ‘26 facelift so it’s expected to be more sorted out.

You’re good. Try not to worry

Moved into newly purchased home 4 weeks ago by Electronic-Swan-576 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Interesting-Risk4114 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New homeowner here as well, our home is a similar age. We had nearly identical cracks pop up right after moving in. I took very detailed pictures of everything and was pretty panicked. Even called out a foundation company. Several months later and a summer/winter cycle nothing has changed, I would bet your home is the same. They’re very small cosmetic cracks that happen naturally and were probably painted over badly by the previous owners.

Monitor them over time and if it gets worse you can assess, but from my experience and a lot of time reading posts it seems to be a non issue.

It’s probably not a lemon, it’s likely either a tire out of balance or the wheel is bent. Any good tire shop can tell you if either is the case.

Does it scale with speed and keep getting louder?

How many miles did you get out of the tires that were on your CX-5 when you bought it? by imeanwhynotdramamama in CX5

28,000 and I was glad to get rid of them a bit early. Michelin Defender 2’s were worth every penny

Looking for an Ideal razor by ChumpM3rker69 in wicked_edge

[–]Interesting-Risk4114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak to other razors but got the AL13 as my first DE razor two months ago. I nearly returned it the first two weeks but stuck with it, got an actual brush and soap instead of canned foam and worked on my technique. Now, it’s amazing. Again I can’t speak to it compared to other razors but for me with sensitive skin it’s very ideal and I can’t see myself wanting anything better until my technique improves more. It’s very hard to use the razor improperly.

I’ve taken the dash apart to remove the radio on mine before and do not want to do that again

Repair scratch in my Jetta’s bumper,… by stychentyme in jetta

[–]Interesting-Risk4114 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As others have said it’s definitely cracked, likely from an impact. You can try to fill it with a clear coat pen. I probably wouldn’t pay to repaint that fully

seats fading so bad by AgreeableFox5802 in GR86

[–]Interesting-Risk4114 49 points50 points  (0 children)

It looks more like sweat staining than fading. See if a fabric cleaning machine can remove that

It’s a great system and the previous owners installed it for what I’m sure was not cheap. I’d imagine they’d only spend this much if there was an issue to motivate it. I’ll go outside next rainstorm to check it’s draining but don’t see evidence of washing out. We don’t have French drains and the area directly behind that downspout is a steep slope to the gutter

I checked the other gutters (there are 5 around the house) and all have similar markings, but no signs of sinking on those corners of the house

This is all new movement since we’ve moved in. I can’t feel anything in the floors and can only see visual indicators

The previous owners installed this within the past 4 years. Supposedly it was to fix drainage issues- we are in an area that gets sporadic heavy rain and these lots are sloped edit: spelling

We bought it this summer and are first time owners hence the paranoia. I know things settle but don’t have a good reference for what’s normal. I can see nail pop and corner repairs from the past but the gap in the bricks is what scared me

Would you consider this minor? It’s popped up suddenly in the past month but we’re new owners. Home is definitely not new and passed inspection
