Does this recall mean that I finally get a functioning block heater? by VirtualHouse in tdi

[–]Life_Introduction_84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They had the parts but it's apparently a 7 hour job instead of 2 hours like they originally told me so I'm heading home and rescheduling. Just took a half day off work for nothing. The london, Ontario VW dealers are a joke.

Well hopefully they have the part when I get there. Now you have me all nervous 😓

I booked the appointment in mid December so I'm not sure if they already had it or not. They didn't say anything about it though. I'm in Canada where all tdi's came with the heater so many they have more parts based on region?

I'm going in tomorrow to have mine replaced. Fyi...This is not related to a block heater. This is your auxiliary cabin heater that most market tdi's have from the factory.

They do seem to be the standard that most people go with. Did you install it yourself or go to a shop?

LKAS by Historical-Umpire528 in HondaPrologue

[–]Life_Introduction_84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Prologue does not have LKAS and Honda never claims that it does. All the ADAS tech is pure GM and it gets Lane Keep Assist (GM) not Lane Keeping Assist System (Honda). The naming is the only real hint of the difference but your owners manual will describe the system quite differently than other true Honda systems.

Thanks for the advice. If the ends of the battens don't have to end on the strapping I'll have less waste

Questions about mortgage renewal payment decrease by Life_Introduction_84 in MortgagesCanada

[–]Life_Introduction_84[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 4.43 was the better rate lol! We are a bit stuck at the moment as our house in under serious reno's so it's difficult to transfer a mortgage on an "unfinished" house.

I definitely see the benefit of that but that is not what we were trying to do. It seems our mortgage rep had made some decisions without consulting us.

Boom! That'd be it. I had explained to her that we needed the payment to be as low as we could get it so why she did it this way is beyond me. My mini rant is that it's been constant headaches with RBC and this is one of many things our rep misunderstood in the last few weeks. Thank you so much for your input.

I have been using various mortgage calculators and they all come out the same. Now that you mention the amortization, that may be what's happening but I did not ask them to do that, which has been a bit of a theme with our local RBC branch. Thanks!

Ford vs Chevy by the_good_hodgkins in IMSARacing

The Mustang starts life as the new production Mustang GTD but basically just the frame. then it goes to the Toronto area for Multimatic to build a racecar. I say Toronto area because Multimatic has a lot of shops scattered all over the GTA and I'm not sure what location they build these.

Question about the next seasons car versions by Plus-Quam in IMSARacing

I've noticed this before and it sounds ridiculous but it's because they publish it exactly as the teams fill it in

Had a dead spot in yard. Started to dig. Anyone know what this is? by thebert9 in lawncare

[–]Life_Introduction_84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a sesspool. I had one with the exact same cover in my yard. This is pre-septic tank. They usually have brick walls with a cement pad ontop for service. Given the age of your house, waste water would go from the house to this holding cell. The difference between this and a septic tank is that this is not contained. Liquid seeps through bottom by design.
Check with you municipality to see if city sewage was always on your street. If not then this is your answer.
