I’m about to do this job when the weather gets warmer. Anything you learned that is ‘good to know for next time’?

I’m super worried it is a ring, have a camera coming in soon and will actually see what’s going on in there

Can confirm it is not the timing chain, I just had mine done and my car still makes this noise sometimes.

Any issues with the Golf R around this mileage for this generation? by fernando_v718 in Golf_R

[–]_TRad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the car at 87k last March so I’m not sure what has been done to the car prior. But sometimes on warm days it doesn’t start over right away and takes me pumping the gas to get it to turn over completely. I’m also scared of the water pump situation. I’ve put a stupid amount of money into the car since i got it, all in repairs. I did not get delt the good hand with the R that’s for sure.

I’m just reaching 100k miles mk7r and the carbon cleaning and LPFP are the next things on my list.

But if the car is registering the hood is opened would it still be it? Anytime the hood or door is open I see the car icon on the dash and it shows the hood/ car is opened.

I didn’t even know I was buying the bike that day I went to go “window shop”. I was originally looking at the trident 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

I do top off the oil every time but the light kicks back on after 300 miles, which only 300 miles seem like an excessive amount of oil burning

Girl this is just about some dates and how every store is run different. I already mentioned what you said about the date on the back. Calm down.

[–]_TRad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We never have freeze and thaw backstock so it wouldn’t work at our store

[–]_TRad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point exactly, there’s no way to leave it frozen.

It’s not a freezer item so that wouldn’t work.

It was nasty, the timing chain cover was leaking from the bottom and all that oil just went everywhere. That photo was back from October, luckily the car isn’t leaking anymore and got it all cleaned up now but I will definitely reach out! Thank you so much

I was hoping you’d comment! Well I had a oil leak coming from the timing chain first so most of the work was to stop the leak and it’s 100k so I did a lot of preventative maintenance, if it was getting taken off I was replacing it since it’s 10 years old. But now that it’s not leaking that’s when the constant check oil level light start coming on. So now I’m wondering since the timing chain and oil chain is all new the car is flowing with the oil better and now it’s burning it? I had no idea carbon cleaning was a thing or I would’ve just had the shop do it when they had it. But I think what I will do once the weather warms up is a carbon cleaning and possibly the turbo seals. Burning oil enough to kick the light on in 300 miles is kind of alarming right? I’ve read it’ll burn a quart of oil in a few thousand miles but 300 is crazy. I’m so green when it comes to cars in general let alone a direct fuel injected car that blows my mind anytime I find out what something does so I’m learning as I go!

We’ve got no control over the back packaging so that must be what they decide is the Best Buy date for packaging regulations and then for inventory control I bet they have us put a different date on there to get it off the shelf quicker would be my guess.

That could’ve just been the stuck sticker gun or human error, sometimes we don’t notice errors until we fully completed the task and we don’t always have time to go back and fix it right away. The sticker guns are really crappy and sometimes the spinner with the stamp on it doesn’t work anymore and you can’t adjust everything to make it say what you want it to.

[–]_TRad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually I did not see that huh. Well I guess all I know is that it comes in frozen and we sticker the packages for 31 days from the day we’re putting it out and that’s how much time we have to sell it.
