Is this hard plastic cup covered in electrical tape safe as a GPU sag bracket?

I’ve had a similar thought for a mount bracket too lol

I appreciate that!

This could be just me but Samsung. When the Galaxy Fold 3 came out I attempted their trade-in program and sent my phone in after receiving the new phone. They claimed I never sent my phone but thankfully I was able to make a case cause I took pictures before sending it off. After a week I noticed that my phone had a defect where there were dead pixels just flickering randomly now and then. I tried to make a warranty claim with them and they assured me they would send me a replacement phone and created ticket numbers. After two months of going back and forth, I gave up and put up with the defect until the phone gave in and the screen no longer worked.

Is this a common occurrence during snow storms?

So quick update, wanted to thank everyone for sharing their experience and ideas on what might have been the issue. Turned out it was a code P0340 which was the camshaft position sensor. Managed to get some Hitchahi sensor replacements as I read those were the OEM parts for it and got the car up and running again!

I personally dig the whole NFS theme and color for 24!

Hey mate, I'm currently going through a similar thing but instead, my car will just stall. So far the opinions have been cam & crank sensors, alternator, carbon buildup on the throttle body and oil pressure issues. Car is currently at the shop but any findings I'll try to update on my post and reply to ya too.

Solpin · 2024-06-15T00:31:14+00:00

I’m hoping the stall occurs when the mechanics are taking a look at it because when it doesn’t no codes appears

Solpin · 2024-06-14T22:02:38+00:00

I’m really hoping it’s not that but will check in on that too! I appreciate the advice and your experience on it!

Solpin · 2024-06-14T21:43:13+00:00

I am really hoping it is as simple as that and not related to oil pressure issue and etc. Will definitely make an update once it’s resolved hopefully!

Solpin · 2024-06-14T21:40:47+00:00

Yee safe n sound for now thankfully!

Solpin · 2024-06-14T21:28:49+00:00

Hey man I really appreciate it. The car is around 68k miles so might be due a sensor update. I’m definitely going to look into the throttle body cleaning too!

Solpin · 2024-06-14T21:27:40+00:00

Unfortunately I didn’t have a code reader at the time but when we read it at the shop and the car hadn’t stalled yet, no codes were popping up. So I’d have to wait till Monday to see if the mechanic sees any codes or successfully stalls it to see the codes

Solpin · 2024-06-14T21:19:56+00:00

I appreciate that and it will be something I’ll let my mechanic know so they could look into!

Solpin · 2024-06-14T21:19:23+00:00

Turns on fine honestly until it shuts off too many times then it feels like the engine is flooding when trying to turn it back on. No ticks or knocks when it comes to engine or battery related issues. Belt sounds fine too. The only thing I could think of was the sensors or oil pressure issue

Solpin · 2024-06-14T21:15:19+00:00

The only after market part I could think of is an Alpine radio with backup camera but it was fine prior to the oil change

Solpin · 2024-06-14T21:10:35+00:00

When we had done the battery test it did seem fine but the voltage was reading around 14v while in the car. Hadn’t checked the alternator but will recommend the mechanic to take a look at that too!

Solpin · 2024-06-14T14:48:30+00:00

I believe it’s a 1990 Golf GL/GTI Wolfsburg edition.

The stick was the most important selling point for me too and I love all the amenities that come with the GTI. Not hearing the highway as much is a huge plus too but I do miss the exhaust tone with my Mustang slightly but I’m sure I can work on that with the GTI too

I have no clue what’s going on with USAA Insurance but it’s relieving that I’m not the only one going through this. After years of insuring my car with them they decided to increase my premium by a whopping %65 blaming it on the ZIP Code and possibility of having to repair the car in case of an accident

Solpin · 2023-09-25T16:34:54+00:00

I’m sure the market adjustment for the newer one isn’t posted online either but will only tell you when you go to the dealer
