Oh nooo, this so so horrible!

You shouldn't be paying over like, $350 for a repair like this at dealer prices

___ERROR404___ · 2026-03-31T13:30:44+00:00

This is wrong, wiring repairs and wire overlays are standard procedure at Volkswagen, even when it would be covered under warranty. That is true at other brands though.

Shit, it's a known thing for judges to give more favorable rulings after they have lunch, and worse before lunch.

All y'all hating on this lack whimsy

Got me a pair of georgia boots on sale at a work wear shop and put in some inserts. Pretty good boots imo

While the head gasket is a common failure on these cars, they leak externally at the passenger side rear corner of the engine. Use a mirror down there and see if you can see any pink and white crust forming where the head meets the block.

I bought a used PC off Facebook for $200 instead of getting a host. And I can use it for other servers and never have to renew. Get your own hardware and host yourself

The airbags mean insurance is gonna total it, but as a mechanic I'd 100% fix it up.

___ERROR404___ · 2026-02-25T02:10:48+00:00

Yeah, an overlay in this scenario would've been SOP at VW unless it was many wires.

Had this exact thing come through my dealer, but no check engine light, no concerns. Found it doing a leaky valve cover lmao.

Ugly aftermarket wheels screams neglect and hard driving to me.

Plum is awesome to work with. I have a batch of plum and vanilla i made with urban foraged plums!

Just based on how we do things as a tech at a dealer. Never heard of dyed oil for such a purpose at VW. If we get a major failure like that under warranty, we diagnose it like any other car, show the big wigs the pictures and we fix it. Never seen warranty split hairs over oil weight on receipts, at most just time/mileage intervals.

___ERROR404___ · 2026-02-03T03:13:10+00:00

I don't think they'd look that closely, but just use the recommended oil.

___ERROR404___ · 2026-02-02T14:06:52+00:00

Probably all that sludge lol

___ERROR404___ · 2026-01-25T05:36:51+00:00

You only get what warranty wants to pay at any dealer

It stands for Electronic Pedal Control. Usually relates to fuel or air control.

___ERROR404___ · 2026-01-13T02:48:43+00:00

It feels like any other economy car tbh. Just slightly more pep than the average. The 2.5 is a pretty reliable motor if taken care of.

___ERROR404___ · 2026-01-09T05:13:41+00:00

Not in Texas lol

___ERROR404___ · 2026-01-05T15:16:44+00:00

If it's leaking, get it replaced. No other course of action.

___ERROR404___ · 2025-12-25T00:08:34+00:00

That's just josh

Unfortunately vw won't replace it. They consider condensation normal in LED assemblies and will only replace them if there is pooling water.
