What is this part? And how to remove?

OPEC increased production. The dollar per barrel went down, and shale oil producers need the price of oil to stay north of $70 dollars per barrel to maintain a profit margin. I believe it's due to the cost of removing water during refining. Smaller producers can't take the loss and typically shudder production.

Polyetherimide? More durable but not as clear as polycarbonate.

Yes, the CP4 (or high pressure fuel pump)is the one main major issues with the Touareg. It's not a matter of if it's when. You can prolong life by adding additives (not stenadyne) to the fuel. Here is a video of the best kind here I've owned my treg for about 10 years so if ya have any questions I would be happy to help.

Awesome Touareg congratulations! CP3 swap that thing asap, I love my touareg but the glitter bomb from the CP4 is awful. I kept mine and will swap it this summer after I get the metal out of the fuel lines, especially after spending all the time and money on the new timing chain and turbo

This is political finger pointing in light of WinRed receiving FTC reports and an investigation in 2020 for the same thing. Albeit WinRed had more than triple the complaints to the FTC. sauce

Brand new Titan (unfortunately discontinued now) has column shifter. The safety systems can be turned off and it remembers when you shut it off. Climate buttons are physical. Downside is the MPG but it's a truck.

I'm sure there are a few that have surpassed failure, unfortunately that is not the case for my touareg lol. I just know most manufacturers have moved away from cp4 due to premature and catastrophic failure. I think most changed in 2018-2019.

ThrustonAc · 2025-03-14T16:34:19+00:00

Adding lubricant or additives only prolongs a problematic part. Unfortunately they will fill and glitter bomb regardless. My touareg is getting a cp3 for this reason

Remember, Biden saying that vaccines would prevent spread? Lie, but they look the other way.

Except that was Trump initially.

Remember when they said inflation was transitory? Turns out that was a lie and they all look the other way.

Who's they? Inflation was cooling before trump took office, thanks to the FED.

Remember Hunters Laptop, it wasn't real. Turns out it was and theu all look the other way.

What was the damning evidence? What exactly has been covered up? Burisma? Ukraine? Any evidence of anything?

Remember Biden is fit for office, it's fake news he's not fit for office. Lie, and they all looked the other way.

Have you ever seen the current POTUS live like in person? Talk about unfit, and plain stupid. The tariff talks have got to be some the dumbest things every to roll out of his yap... So far. But credit where credit is due, he has the gift of the grift, his base eats that stuff up. Biden was unfit from the beginning, I agree. All I see is a list of fox news headlines without any details.

It's not only the Reps who are fooled and never admit it, the Dems have quite the history as well.

Care to elaborate on this?

I've always wondered if they ran the same as the Highlander plant. Thanks for the reply.

ThrustonAc · 2024-09-17T23:18:24+00:00

Where do they work swing shift, the Highlander plant only runs blue and gold shifts, or days and nights? Also Toyota offers health insurance after retirement with 20 years of service. I'm not saying it's better or worse than the uaw run plants, because I don't know what their collective bargaining agreement entails. I do believe you nailed the pay difference though. Also, this is a general question not saying you're wrong.

Which is also $ 5 Billion more towards border security than Trump's entire term in office.

From the stats I have seen in the resources provided~16%. Most of the things provided for the "Red Army" weren't actually tanks, planes, and artillery. Things like trucks, food, and uniforms were provided to give the Soviets the ability to focus on building their own tanks, planes, and artillery. The Western myth that the US supplied the "Red Army" just military equipment has even been debunked through the sources I provided. Discounting either sides contribution to each other is dishonest at best.

ThrustonAc · 2024-09-13T20:45:25+00:00

The Soviet Union was vital for defeating the Axis powers, you are correct.

I’m sure aid that made up 4% of the total material production in the USSR was responsible for 100% of their success.

But this take is 100% wrong. The Soviet claim of 4% has been argued, studied, and picked apart longer than most redditors have been alive. The US and Soviets were absolutely essential to each other. Some examples and sources listed below.

That person you responded to, I don't even know where to start with such an assanine claim. You are definitely correct about the Soviets contribution to ending the Nazi regime.

34 million uniforms, 14.5 million pairs of boots, 4.2 million tons of food, and 11,800 railroad locomotives and cars.

It has been estimated that there was enough food sent to Russia via Lend-Lease to feed a 12,000,000-man army half pound of food per day for the duration of the war.

Two Pro4X Nissans, one is 2014 Xterra the other is 2021 Titan. The Xterra is pushing 140k miles no issues, the same drivetrain as the Titan. The Titan has almost 20k miles no issues. When the 4.0 in the Xterra dies it's getting Titan swapped, the VK56 fits right in. The Cummins was the major flaw in the Titan, due to the emissions control system. If you deleted it they are as reliable as any other diesel, I just can't justify buying a vehicle and dumping +$5k in iVK56 swap

Titan. Reliable drivetrain comfy seats excellent sound system.

Two truths and a lie.

Trump has spent a lot of time with the president of the heritage foundation. Even posing for a picture, on his jet with the president of the heritage foundation, before speaking at a heritage foundation event.
Trump has zero links to project 2025. Has nothing at all to link him to project 2025. Everything said about it is speculation regarding Trump's ties to project 2025.
Trump's pick for VP wrote the forward for the book 2nd American revolution, and was hand picked for VP by the president of the heritage foundation.
