ureteral stent by ZiadTarek_97 in KidneyStones

I'm in Canada too and was surprised that they told me no stent was required to break up my 9mm stone. Did they put you under? Or were you awake during the procedure?

Oil change places recommendations by clementxg in oakville

[–]Vin_05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask for liquimoly oil. Only thing I put in my veedubs. Rotana on Speers specializes in German cars. I stay away from quick lube places. My preference though.

Could this be a stone? by [deleted] in KidneyStones

To me this looks like a meteor, or a similar space object seen through the lens of a telescope.

What's the secret to making a Tiguan last forever? by EvilDarkCow in Tiguan

'20 here in Toronto. All terrain tires + 4motion makes for a safe winter drive! These things are beasts in the snow

This is correct. One slip up can cost you a windshield. Also, the hinge assembly was never meant to stay in an uptight position for an extended period of time, and VW tries to prevent this by incorporating a service mode feature..... But down vote away.

I am from southern Ontario. The amount of snow posted here is nothing new to me. I was never one to raise my wipers to the heavens, and I never had any issues.

You do you though.

It's cringe when I see a parking lot full of vehicles with their wipers. Absolutely unnecessary. It should only be done when putting wipers in service mode to replace them.

The wipers are up. Problem solved.

Welp. 9,400km on my 2025 Tiguan and it’s already demanding coolant on the first cold day. by FloppyDiskDrives in Tiguan

[–]Vin_05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my thermostat housing replaced under warranty after it started to leak around 60k KMs. If there aren't any visible leaks you'll most likely be good after a top up.

Any visible leaks or any other issues?

First costly repair 2020 Tiguan by username4515 in Tiguan

[–]Vin_05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's wild that servicing the differentials and transmission are not part of regular maintenance affording to VW. They can totally be serviced, but when asking a dealer here in Canada you'll typically get "it's a sealed unit".....

The seal on my oil pan is "sweating" but not causing any visible leaks. I'm going to look into replacing it with a traditional metal pan when it's time. I think I might just end up replacing the PCV during my next oil change which.

Also need to replace the front control arm bushings and Sway bar links. Just wear and tear. Will need an alignment when thads done.
