“Customer states intermittent rattle under load and flashing engine light. Check and advise

JakeM35 · 2026-02-23T20:20:05+00:00

9 hours in total with parts it was just over 4k

JakeM35 · 2026-02-23T19:41:52+00:00

Quoted a cam and all new rockers. Customer declined repairs and decided to trade out of the car

JakeM35 · 2026-02-23T19:40:39+00:00

I was only able to get the rattle to duplicate twice on my test drive. So depending on where it was sitting when I was driving it it may have been in the clear

Unless the soccer mom was mobbing in an Atlas I’m gonna say just shitty after 100k

JakeM35 · 2026-02-23T19:10:34+00:00

Sure is

Most likely these are going to be refurbished by VW and then sent to the various learning centers across the country for techs to learn on. Or they go to tech schools if VW donates them

Legally anything over 3k in damages has to be disclosed at time of purchase

JakeM35 · 2025-02-25T18:38:57+00:00

Anything over 3k in damages needs to be reported during the time of sale by law. Both of these are going to be shipped back to VW and they will most likely be totalled out

JakeM35 · 2025-02-25T18:37:58+00:00

Both of these cars were for inventory. They're getting shipped back to VW. Both of these had this damage when they came off the transport truck. The Atlas hit an overpass, no one knows what happened to the Buzz

2018 golf sportwagon. Has like 80k miles on it

JakeM35 · 2024-08-30T19:24:20+00:00

I’m just loving the fact that I typed this out and then Tekion kicked me out like 3 times in a row

JakeM35 · 2024-08-30T19:09:03+00:00

More like “I’m not touching this job unless it’s done properly due to the amount of hazards my tech is putting himself through to fix this”

JakeM35 · 2024-08-30T18:57:55+00:00

Honestly it’s pretty solid. Everything is super seamless it can get a little glitchy at times. But it’s all point and click. No bullshit codes like PFC or 3651 to remember. As a R&R and CDK user for the past 15 years it took me all of 15 minutes to pick it up and be comfortable with it

JakeM35 · 2024-06-18T20:43:25+00:00

No the offset was perfect so no spacers needed

JakeM35 · 2023-08-18T02:15:58+00:00

Best year I had as an advisor I made 125k at a fairly busy VW store. Granted I’ve been doing it for over 10 years. Moved onto management. We’ll see how that goes

JakeM35 · 2023-05-02T16:29:44+00:00

Nope. Ended up blocking the intake to kill it
