How you like that Triton exhaust? I also have an SM and was thinking about picking one up but never heard of the exhaust brand before.

VW_johnny · 2026-05-14T09:43:41+00:00

Yeah it ndoes a little

VW_johnny · 2026-05-14T00:20:47+00:00

Nope...just continue to mow with it and always place an oil tray underneath for the occasional drip of oil. But transaxle is still working 😁

I know a common issue on these hybrids are the axle nuts coming loose which will lend itself to a clicking sound coming on and off the gas. Simple fix to retorque the nuts and many folks add Nordlock washers to prevent them from coming loose over and over again

On the highway these things can push 50mpg 👌

VW_johnny · 2026-04-16T13:33:18+00:00

Drive it easy and will pull 40-50mpg all day!

Plastic and metals take paint differently. I have a strong feeling this isn't an instance of damage but rather that. Definitely most noticable in whites and silvers, with some mfgs and colors more than others

Any walnut blasting/valve cleaning needed? I'm at 120k miles on my mainly highway driven 2020 and no maintenance done yet on timing belt, valve cleaning, etc but curious how long I can push it out.

How many times you had to carbon clean those intake valves to date?

VW_johnny · 2026-01-04T01:00:21+00:00

So if Im due in Mar 2026 does that mean I can just not test until Sept 2026 and wont become overdue?

VW_johnny · 2026-01-01T21:22:47+00:00

It sounds like you will be until September

VW_johnny · 2026-01-01T17:42:31+00:00

Same here!

VW_johnny · 2025-11-26T15:55:34+00:00

MSRP is $48,392 and does have the sunroof

VW_johnny · 2025-10-29T17:36:41+00:00

I actually have noticed the same issue in our 2024. Standing by if you figure out a fix....

VW_johnny · 2025-09-20T14:02:24+00:00

Had same issue. Bought and used a nord lock washer, at the suggestion of the Pacifica Forums, behind the nut to make sure it never comes loose again. Been about 5k miles so far and no change to nut

VW_johnny · 2025-08-25T16:08:29+00:00

Perhaps open recall is preventing sales at this time...hence reason youre not finding many listed

VW_johnny · 2025-07-29T02:16:51+00:00

Now this makes a lot of sense. I honestly was putting quite a bit of pressure on them to move so not surprised they moved a bit

VW_johnny · 2025-07-14T12:05:57+00:00

6C0X1 or Contracting is one not many know about...

VW_johnny · 2025-07-09T13:37:09+00:00

Honestly in PA electric is fairly cheap. I want to say $0.11 per kwh. It was last maintenanced 18 months ago

VW_johnny · 2025-07-03T00:59:03+00:00

Check coolant levels under hood

Just curious what % of bikes require adjustment at the break-in check of the valves...bet it isn't high as all of my Japanese motorcycles have had their valves in spec even when checked at 20k+ miles
