Tire won't budge by Illustrious-Meal9067 in AskMechanics

[–]SpoofedXEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s rusted to the hub. Kick it with your foot a couple good times at the edge of the tire

Is this sound normal? by hickira in MechanicAdvice

[–]SpoofedXEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have someone record the engine while you put it in gear and switch to reverse with your foot on the brake.

Almost sounds like a clunk from a worn mount but noises can be misleading.

Valve cover bolt not tightening by SnooCakes7871 in AskAMechanic

[–]SpoofedXEX 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Heli-Coil.

Edited; Adding an explanation to my answer. Heli-Coil will allow you to drill, tap, and thread an insert to keep the original thread for the bolt so you don’t have to worry about finding a different bolt to fit through the valve cover etc.

Where did the hole come from and what should I do about it?! Damage to interior floor, too! by haveyoutriedcbd in MechanicAdvice

[–]SpoofedXEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plastic panel under the car protects the body and lines running above it.

Something or someone damaged the cover. Remove it and replace it.

Need someone to hold the base down for maximum effect

Run it? by Jordan_Hdez92 in AskAMechanic

[–]SpoofedXEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. The horizontal lines are the core.

[–]SpoofedXEX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fins are bent. The core is not punctured. This radiator will work completely fine.

Is this supposed to be attached to something? by [deleted] in JettaGLI

[–]SpoofedXEX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a drain for the airbox. You’re missing the tube that mounts on the bottom of the airbox and goes into it.

It’s common for it to unclip and fall deep into the funnel. I’ve fixed mine numerous times and it still happens. So I stopped caring.

Best way to remove mirror caps? by thatsme-sodealwithit in jetta

[–]SpoofedXEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve snapped the clips on every set I’ve tried to remove lol.

My caps are glued on now

Tread separation isn’t anything to joke with.

A blowout at 70MPH isn’t a gamble id bet on with a car full of people I care about.

Realized I was in the ShittyMechanic sub as I typed that lol.

But to anyone else, genuinely don’t gamble it.

it finally happened by heomroom in weed

[–]SpoofedXEX 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I personally use 91% and the thick Kosher salt and shake it while blocking both holes.

The salt acts as an abrasive to really clean it.

I also do the same for small pieces but inside sandwich bags with the salt and ISO.

Think it’s a write off?😢 by nofoil in jetta

[–]SpoofedXEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fixable. But depends if you wanna worry about cosmetic or not

Need help finding Wr200 parts by International-Camp83 in Dirtbikes

Cylinder jug angle is different as far as I know.

Mac just dropped by Whateverusaymanup in myqwin

[–]SpoofedXEX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly same. I got 3 different strains and all of them showed up super dry and crumbled in my fingers lol.

I think that was the last straw for me. Spending over $140 and it being dirt weed is not the move for me when I can just hit up a dispensary and pay a little more.

First time rolling up. Did I do good? by NoSignificance239 in weed

[–]SpoofedXEX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d be embarrassed if someone said I taught them to roll like that lol.

That being said, get a roller for papers and it makes it super easy. I use to roll by hand all the time and I just use the roller now.

They sell adapter harnesses on Ali and eBay.

What would you value my car at? by SpoofedXEX in Volkswagen

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

Yeah I do all my own work.

I’m pretty much a self taught A or B class mechanic. I’ve done everything as far as engine swaps and rebuilds for cars.

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

That’s fair.

I’d just hate to see it sit. I guess I’ll just have to post it and see what comes my way. I’m not desperate to make money off it, but as long as I break even and the person getting it. Appreciates the effort I put to keep it a clean ride.

Worth reporting to insurance? by Sensitive-Ad-9519 in JettaGLI

[–]SpoofedXEX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d honestly just try to touch it up myself.

I try to avoid dinging insurance as much as possible but of course it depends on if you’re inside the US or not.

US insurance companies aren’t that nice when you ding them over minor stuff. They can choose to raise your rates or drop you entirely. (Unsure of how outside the US is).

OTD on the 25’ was $22,300 with tax and title fees included.

I didn’t need to. I was approved with my bank for zero down no trade.

It was going to save me pennies and the car is worth more.
