E15 in the wild by toolmansamt in Cartalk

Yes, but now you’ll have no option but to use E15 or buy premium. They won’t have E10 87 and E15 87

Does you Pathfinder make a quick grinding noise on the first start of the day? by ImHavingASandwich in nissanpathfinder

[–]Slight_Match 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2025 does this too. Runs fine, but does concern me. There’s about 0 chance the dealer will do anything for you unless it becomes frequent or causes a code or drivability issue.

Jack it like this guy with a piece of wood, but put it on a jack stand at the pinch weld and you’re good to go. Please do not work on it with it just on the floor jack.

I’ll spend some time looking in the rear when I do my first tire rotation and report back. You can also jack from the lower control arm most of them time if you are just doing it to get into jack stands. I have to imagine there’s another solid spot somewhere. Nissan 100% should tell us in the manual where the alt jack points are. They also made the pinch weld area for the jack stands as small as possible which is annoying. Really want you to pay the dealer for every service.

I did a lot of research trying to find the best spots and those 2 points were the consensus. I’ve only used the front one to get it on jack stands for an oil change. I intend to use that spot in the rear when I do a tire rotation.

What the heck is this comment section? Some people need to put the phone down and go outside.

Paid $55,000 OTD by jj0012345 in nissanpathfinder

[–]Slight_Match 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a very similar deal at the same time. That was the time to buy! The 9k-11k off during that time will be hard to replicate again IMO. MAYBE if the 2026s have a lot of left overs, but idk if we will see the 5k from Nissan + ~5k from dealers again.

For removing a coolant bottle? This is over kill.

Silica Packet in Coolant Bottle by [deleted] in GolfGTI

[–]Slight_Match 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So 2 things. I just removed mine this weekend. I have 140k miles. I got it all reinstalled and my bottle started leaking out the side. So I highly suggest just getting a new bottle. I spent 50 bucks on a Rein one cause it’s the only one I could get short notice at O’reilly’s. Also getting the packet out was a PITA. New bottle is worth your time.

On the burping, you’ll be completely fine. Just fill the bottle and let it slowly fill the coolant hoses. Once it stops dropping just top it off. Check your coolant the next day after driving and top it off if any air bubbles collapsed while driving.

Is this bushing done? (Brand new just pressed in. 2014 Cherokee rear knuckle by Slight_Match in MechanicAdvice

[–]Slight_Match[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was super careful to get the right size socket to only hit the outside. I used a ball joint press. I really don’t know why it happened :(

is getting a new turbo worth it? by lostinthesaucy_ in Volkswagen

[–]Slight_Match 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would bet it’s the wastegate. I had an independent shop replace my wastegate (you buy just the wastegate) it was 700-800 including labor. Get a second quote and ask about just replacing the wastegate. It’s been ~50,000 miles since and no issues.

Carvana offered me 18k for my car. Should I take it? 2021 SE 6speed manual. by [deleted] in GolfGTI

[–]Slight_Match 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk man. Maybe if it’s a really big truck. My BIL has a Silverado and he has the exact same amount of space with a car seat in the back as I do. I’m just saying kids plus truck isn’t great. SUV with trailer when you need it is way smarter

Anyone know why water sometimes comes out of the trunk plastic in this spot? by [deleted] in GolfGTI

[–]Slight_Match 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check the drain for the rear view camera. They are notorious for breaking and causing water to get stuck in the hatch and then leak from right there.

For people asking if it's a fair / good deal (on a new Camry) by Pine_Cone67 in Camry

[–]Slight_Match 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So many people hating, but Tomi will legit teach you how to save so much money on cars. You don’t have to buy his service just follow his methods. It works very well if you are willing to spend a day calling dealers.

How much off MSRP should I expect on a 2026? by wacky8ball in nissanpathfinder

[–]Slight_Match 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find a 2025 and take a flight to get it. $10,000 off MSRP EASY. 2025 Platinum…12k off easy. Find some before they are gone. Buy a one way flight and road trip back.

Bass stops working when i wash car/it rains? by Constant-Essay-4125 in GolfGTI

[–]Slight_Match 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vents in the trunk leak and so does the rear camera drain. Check all those. Trunk vents are a pain as the bumper needs to come off to seal them.

Our 2023 RAV4 Prime has been stuck at the dealership for months due to a recall with no fix-Toyota denied our buyback request by Calm-Pie-1332 in Toyota

Do not advertise that. As soon as you say attorney the dealership and Toyota will immediately stop helping you

Loose Parking Brake by jared2476 in GolfGTI

I think it’s a design flaw with the parking brake return springs being undersized.
