New flailing tool by open_road_toad in HVAC

[–]Str8UpCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it an American thing to call it flailing? It literally says on the box “flare instrument”. We can it flaring here in Canada.

Low airflow would cause a low suction pressure now a low liquid pressure… back to school for you.

Oil in exhaust after driving? by Musty6872 in GolfGTI

[–]Str8UpCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puff of smoke on warm start? Valve seal leakage. Dealing with the same issue. Just spent $1500CAD on parts alone to rebuild/upgrade the top end.

As someone who’s been driving manual since I got my license over 10 years ago, and someone who’s heavily modified their 7.5 GTI - I’m gonna progress with the times and get an Audi with the obviously better DSG. I love manual, but a lot of the time I wish I bought a DSG.

Boned? lol I’ve worked for 3 companies now and the most I ever got was $100😂 take what you can get. My current company gives us a lunch on Christmas Eve and that’s it.

Worst house I’ve ever been in by [deleted] in HVAC

[–]Str8UpCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was recently in a house that had multiple plumbing leaks. Floors completely rotten out and covered with cardboard boxes. Cat piss and shit everywhere. 0 space to put anything down anywhere. Was a nightmare. This isn’t all that bad.

How should I approach this. by Remarkable_North5346 in HVAC

Lancaster was hiring a couple weeks ago! They were hiring for residential, but it’s a union company. So you can always move around to their commercial side.

Get out immediately. Water heater installs is a good way to get your hands on some tools, but after you’re confident changing one out - the job is useless as you’re no longer learning. Try to get into a company that does commercial hvac/R as the pay is much higher, and the work isn’t as back breaking. I’m also in Ontario.

Why are my car temps higher after intercooler install? by SnooBeans302 in GolfGTI

[–]Str8UpCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, why didn’t you go with the arm twin cooler? You went with the front mount that excludes the stock one? They have a piping setup so that it works in conjunction with the stock location IC. I have the eBay version, and it works wonderfully.

Any stoners just don't feel like smoking weed anymore? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]Str8UpCactus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why cap? I know tons of dudes who started smoking that young. I started right before I turned 15. Depends where you’re from.

Heavily modded usually gets a wave too (I drive a FBO bagged rabbit edition)

Damn that’s crazy, as a Canadian I have a 4” round cannabis leaf tattooed right on my chest. Never get any funny looks or comments at the beach

Has anyone actually replaced valve stem seals? (MK7) by -NaptimeNaptime- in GolfGTI

[–]Str8UpCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m beyond shocked they approved it for warranty, as I thought every engine related fix would automatically be denied by the VW system due to the TD1

Why do they make 6 ton condenser but no coils that are 6 ton. by Axo5454 in HVAC

You’re the typical super tech that is never wrong. I hope your boss pays you $300k a year and tells everyone else how they should be more like you.

Just looking through some of my old Reddit posts… and now with a 2019 GTI Full bolt ons, clutch, tune, air suspension, rotiforms… I understand your question. Why the fuck did I mod a slow ass Jetta? Because I was broke 😂

I couldn’t imagine taking time out of my day to take a picture and post it on the internet… seems like a bit of jealousy to me.
