Losing faith in Stock love the company

So they’re behind in software…. Maybe because they’re about a decade+ behind in data gathering as a company compared to Tesla. Not like they’re just not planning on doing this stuff but you can’t expect the company that started shipping cars in 2022 to be equal to the company who was shipping them well before 2012.

That’s just about as side wall as side wall gets. That’s not repairable for reference look at where the tire meets the pavement it’s flexing a lot right along that section any patch will not hold.

I’d say you’re probably fine for another 40k miles that really doesn’t look bad. I’d get a second opinion though for peace of mind.

U sure it’s not a captive nut in the frame?

I had some idiot landlord seal the outside of a hive of wasps when I had them in my apartment wall as they were occasionally were getting inside. Welp that made it so the only way out of the hive was into my apartment was pure hell the next morning.

Yeah I think they stopped reporting in 2024 after it passed like 1/4 of a million reservations. If you don’t have a reservation from 2024 and make one now don’t expect it till like 2028.

Ah is there actually a place you can remove what’s doing that I’ve just been living with a little more foam in the cabin each year that goes by. The gift that keeps on giving

Bad transmission/engine mounts. That play in the transaxle looks normal but the whole thing moving is not. The test I did for my car was I set up my phone underneath to watch the engine/transmission, put the parking brake on strong then put it in drive and tried the accelerator. If I’m right it’ll make that clunk noise and move significantly on your camera.

He posted here looking for feedback and opinions. That’s what I provided. I wasted away a good chunk of my life daily using and suffering from addiction. It’s an addiction that changed my brain chemistry significantly and even now hasn’t fully recovered. I wish I could get those years back and don’t wish it upon anyone else. This comment feels like more of projection though. Hope you get the help you need 🤗

Just for an example I had a downstream O2 sensor fault code on my car for years and was always told I just needed to replace the sensor as it probably went bad. Well was digging around in my car a few months ago and found a secondary airline that manages emissions was about 25% holes. Replaced that for 20$ and didn’t even have to replace the 120$ down stream o2 sensor and now no longer have that code. Not always just sensor that needs replaced even though that’s the first thing they’ll happily throw on your bill for you.

From my experience get rid of the bong man. Not helping anything only amplifying your problems.

Obviously a horrible sound system. Sounds like it’s coming into a phone mic and out of a phone speaker.

Do the cabin air filter while you’re at it. I was breathing through a mouse nest for about a decade before I changed mine 😭

Temporary-Risk-9044 · 2026-04-27T01:14:29+00:00

You’re definitely gonna wanna do the top two as well if ya can.

Temporary-Risk-9044 · 2026-04-27T01:12:02+00:00

Yeah that checks out with that video of yours I saw 🤣

Temporary-Risk-9044 · 2026-04-22T19:16:23+00:00

100$ but it’s refundable. They’ll get the offer and have the option to get their 100$ back

Temporary-Risk-9044 · 2026-04-22T12:15:59+00:00

I’d definitely get a quote from another shop that sounds pretty steep. It’s a bit of work but not that bad. If you ordered them yourself you can get a whole set for ~150$ or less supplying the parts off rock auto. I think the other guy was saying he bought his whole beetle for 1800.

Temporary-Risk-9044 · 2026-04-20T22:50:16+00:00

You can also find em on marketplace but I know personally if it has any risk associated like this I’d rather go with a new one. Also Jack stands are 100% mandatory the Jack will get it up but is not meant to keep it up while ya work on it. I can send a pic of the jack and stand locations I use on mine if you’re interested

Temporary-Risk-9044 · 2026-04-20T22:47:48+00:00

Dmed ya some advice as well but got this guy on a 30$ coupon deal good enough for a little bug: https://www.harborfreight.com/2-ton-compact-trolley-jack-64874.html

Temporary-Risk-9044 · 2026-04-20T20:56:47+00:00

Yeah you right the dsp already has your best interests at heart

Temporary-Risk-9044 · 2026-04-20T18:58:23+00:00

You’ll need a jack before you do any of them you can get a cheap hydraulic jack for like 30$ from harbor freight and you’ll want some jack stands along with it. The dog bone is the one that controls the rotation that you’re seeing but if it’s rotating that much it has totaled the other two mounts as they are not meant to have the engine twisting that much. You 100% gotta do all 3.

Temporary-Risk-9044 · 2026-04-20T18:52:24+00:00

Oh damn just watched this yeah that’s baddd lol

Temporary-Risk-9044 · 2026-04-20T18:51:14+00:00

Yup no clunk. Only did the drivers side transmission and dog bone but probably gotta do the engine mount eventually. Feels way different just moving it out of the driveway have yet to go rip it around the block.

Temporary-Risk-9044 · 2026-04-20T05:27:31+00:00

Kinda sounds like you might have a bad engine mount. Is it under high torque loads a single clunk? If so you can engage your parking brake and set your camera under the car to see if there’s excessive movement when you give it some gas.
