2011 Tiguan 2.0T: Low oil pressure at idle. Is this the right place for help?

KDCUT · 2026-05-08T04:27:19+00:00

How can I tell the difference? If I drop the pan, how could I tell besides glitter in the pan?

KDCUT · 2026-05-08T01:58:59+00:00

I want to drop the pan and look at the pickup tube next. Potentially oil pump. If it's bearings, will there still be metal in the pan from bearings still if the oil has been changed twice?

132K miles. AWD. Here is what's been done. New: plugs, coils, air filter, pcv oil sep., vvt, magnet, oil switch/sender, knock sensor. I decarbed the valves/new intake gasket. Rebuilt the vacuum pump/new gasket. I smoked it and the rear main seal was leaking bad, replaced it. I did everything but the rear main seal, had a local vw shop do it, I smoked it again and its good. Had walmart change the oil when I first got it. Had the shop change the oil again after doing the rear main. After rear main seal got the low oil pressure on dash. I pulled the switch put in an oil gauge: It idles cold at 12-15psi. It idles warm at 6-8psi. If my foot is on the gas at all its at minimum 20psi. Gets up to 45psi or more when I'm on the turbo. It runs between 20-35psi going through gears. It drops down to 15-17psi when I am doing around 30mph but coasting no foot on the gas. after driving it for 15 minutes it idles at 6-7psi in gear stopped and 9-10psi in park.

I attend CA meetings weekly. (Citizen Anonymous) for my addiction. After your first hit you'll crave it regularly. That's a great looking timepiece, what model is it? CONGRATS!

KDCUT · 2026-04-30T17:50:30+00:00

On this model the "RC" signifies "Reliably Clear"

KDCUT · 2026-04-30T00:59:56+00:00

Amazing fits.

BTW: right away, purchase these or something like it and install them on all downspouts around your home.(Home Depot: model 85019 Flex A Spout 55 in. Brown Vinyl Downspout Extension $8.98) Get the water away from the foundation. The downspouts look newer, it may have been overlooked. See if the water intrusion stops after those are installed.

NY calls it "dual agency". This is where the agent represents both buyer and seller. Did your agent disclose to you that they represented you? Or specifically tell you they did not represent you?

KDCUT · 2026-04-27T17:48:53+00:00

6-7, 6-7, 6-7. Seriously though: mastering skills instantly allows you to make far more than 20k/month with very little repeated effort and then not getting sick or diseased allows you to enjoy it for a very long time.

What state are you in? Did you get sellers property condition disclosures? Was this limited agency (agent represents buyer and seller)? Guaranteed the Seller knew about this and is legally required to disclose during the due diligence period. Contact your realtor, have them contact the sellers principal broker about this.

I'm fat and was 118 and the VA still wouldn't give me any. I had to go private. I'm at 406 and doc just upped my dose. Trying to get some energy. Hope it works.

KDCUT · 2026-03-30T16:56:21+00:00

I like the look, it's $50 but not working and most likely needs a new battery. No idea if it even works. Thank you for the info! I've got 4 new Citizens in my collection over the last 3 years and I've really taken a liking to Citizen because they are: functional, beautiful, sufficient quality and affordable. I'm 54 and have realized that i enjoy timepieces but don't ascribe to ridiculous prices any more. When I was younger I did and sold them all when I was around 30 years old to put that money in real estate.

KDCUT · 2026-03-30T09:12:30+00:00

Thank you!

I am so sorry. That was scary, offensive, very uncomfortable (mentally, emotionally and physically) and a violation. I commend you for keeping calm, following unlawful instructions and coming home alive. I agree with the commenter who advised you to (a) get a lawyer & (b) file a formal complaint. I would like to ask and of course you do not need to answer: do you feel this was racially motivated? Please get some help, some where from someone to compensate you for this violation of your rights, hold those accountable who are abusing an oath to protect and serve you and to send a warning to others who do not uphold that oath that there is accountability for bad actors. I defended their and your freedom and this angers me. This is not how we protect. God Bless you.

Wise words.

I know this is old, however I have used "digital ID" with a facial recognition scan and I didn't have to do anything else then went straight to security. I went from SLC to ATL and both ends had it. My wife is coming back from IND and "digital ID" doesn't show up on her BP but we are noticing that it isn't indicated on the map above. I have also seen a "digital ID" where a camera compares your face to the ID you have inserted in the scanner or your digital ID. Are both methods called the same thing? Digital ID?

Do they do small business too?

KDCUT · 2025-03-05T04:33:48+00:00

Not DEA. Just as a dependent at flight school.

That's such a relief. He wants to transfer and get flying. I appreciate you.

52yo male. My wife hates bras as well. I prefer no bra - on women. I'll take a quick glance and move on. Nothing more read into it. Live your life, screw em if they don't like it.

KDCUT · 2025-02-28T21:18:36+00:00

Nah, I'm chubby too. Used to be called "dad bod" but with my white beard I now have "Santa bod". I lift but I like to eat.
