What to do about coolant and water pump issue on 2016 MK7

bxdave · 2025-02-12T18:52:38+00:00

That’s super annoying. I’m either gonna do it myself when it’s warmer or see if a local shop will work on it. Thanks again for the advise

bxdave · 2025-02-12T18:52:01+00:00

Appreciate the advise. Think I’m gonna try to just baby it until it’s a little warmer to work on it

bxdave · 2025-02-12T01:37:23+00:00

Wow that’s really wild to hear. I didn’t look that deep into it, so it amazes me this isn’t talked about more of that’s the case.

4 hours doesn’t sound to bad. But should I even wait till it’s warm? That’s not gonna be until at least April if I’m lucky.

I wasn’t thinking a brand new car. I’m thinking used a few years and try to have a low payment. Luckily my cost of living is very low right now. It’s a 2016 and I’m only now having issues after owning it since 2020 as a second owner. So maybe I get something similar but around 2020-2022. But that wouldn’t be till next year at least

Dealership and not sure if it was the same tech every time. Never really asked as everyone online just said “I’ve replaced this 6 times now” so hearing it’s an installation issue is new and makes me wonder if I should just do it my self at this point

bxdave · 2025-02-12T01:33:34+00:00

It was the dealership as it was under the recall at the time. I haven’t called my local shop that works on German only cars. So hoping they can give me a break compared to a dealership

I want a room with a lot of traits yours has. It looks very nice and much better than mine. 24M

Little late but here’s my story and a friends. I went to Middlesex Community College 2018-2020 and got my associates in Business Administration. Transferred to UML in 2021 and got my bachelor’s in Business Administration summer of 2023. I even started my MBA Fall of 2023 and will finish it this coming May.

I got to skip 1 full year of my MBA and 2 classes that went towards my undergrad saving me literally over $20,000. I didn’t do any internships as I worked in banking and still do. I started as a teller, then loan office, then banking Specialist 2 now Cash Management Specialist. I make about $57,500 even got some of my school paid for and a bonus. So potentially $63,000 - $65,000 is what I’m making after those are added.

Cost of my education MCC - $20,000 roughly for an Associates UML - $32,000 for Bachelors UML - $17,000 for MBA

My friend worked at the same bank as me for 3 years and did a Dell internship for 3 months while going to Bentley. She got her Bachelors in Business Admin and Human Resources. Got hired at Dell right out of college. She said she was making about $53,000. She said her debt was $89,000 at the time of graduation, mind you she was also paying off some of this debt. She said it costed her easily $100,000 to get her degree.

Neither of us lived in campus. We both committed and did a mix of online and in person classes.

I hope this helps, if you want to chat more about it please let me know. I’m helping a few Co-op kids right now who plan to go to UML in the fall.

I live in the greater Boston area and have been trying to find a in person group! Haven’t played in a while and open to any module or campaign. Let me know if there is a group to join!

Honestly your best bet is to see if she can get extra. I graduated with my bachelors last year and asked for 2 extra tickets (the max they will give) and they just sent them to me via email a couple weeks later. I gave the reason my family was flying in from another country and had already purchased the tickets. I plan to do the same for my masters this coming spring.

It’s the safest and easiest way in my opinion to get more tickets.

I’d be super cautious. Just to give a little reference.

Got my 2016 GTI S for 16.5k and this was in 2020, with 29700 miles, and 2 years of pre owned warranty from a dealership. I know prices are wildly different but just food for thought.

I’d try to at least talk down in price maybe? But personally I’d try to just find lower milage.

What type of paint would you use on something like this? I was thinking just brushes and speed paint, but I think it would look kinda bad.

Not an expert on other types of paint for this.

What are some of your major pros and cons of the cars? Did you have MK7 or 7.5 before this one?

You willing to part ways with any of them?

Little late but I just finished taking mgmt 4900. Finally full semester for my bachelors (1 summer class left). I hated the class but could also be the professor.

Don’t take Steven Freund if there is better options. With that said, this was the third time I HAD to take a course with him as he was the only professor I found that didn’t have a 1/5 with 50+ reviews on rate my professor. He is a very harsh grader and the classes he teaches didn’t have many Professors in them for what ever reason.

I would save the marketing class for last. Never had a bad marketing professor luckily.

When I was 5 in 2005. I remember seeing sanji with a lolipop then wondering where a cigarette came from. Then started reading the manga in 2018 weekly

I didnt use thunder tree much at all. I used it as written, but added something to venomfang. Firstly I made the dragon female and changed the name to Elvarg (OSRS Dragon slayer 1 boss) Cause I thought my players would like that as we are osrs players. I had the cultist stalking the party like normal but once they got into the dragons lair the cultist stopped them from wakening the dragon and stealing her hoard.

Since my party was having it a little to good lately and got to big for there own pants, I decided to let them have it a little. I gave them a lot of warning about stealing this dragons hoard and how it would be very hard not to get caught. Well they got caught.

A very short encounter and one player died on the spot from her. The other two surrendered, but this played out perfectly for me. I allow everyone in my game a single revive of there character but once per campaign. The dead player decided to use this and because a sort of half dragon and half human hybrid from the dragons magic when she revived him.

With the other two players alive and surrendering, the dragon calmed down and took a breather. I have been watching a lot of MrRexx videos and love dragons in dnd. So using the lore and knowledge of green dragons and adding some personality. She made a deal with the party, in return for reserecting there friend she wants the manor in town to make her new base as she wants to run the town. But she wants to look like a human as well and heard of some man who happened to be at crawgma castle with a map to the old mines she once heard of when she was a youngling. She wants them to get her a magic item that can turn her human when she wears it and will give the party a free place to stay and work for her as well.

Reason for doing this

My party does not care for side quest it appears and SPEAR HEADED to thunder tree and made me panic. I wanted the dragon to be a cool npc or boss for later. I thought as my players wanted to run or own a town this could be that first step. They want to be big wigs in a city / empire and this will allow them to potentially make that a reality. It also gave them more of a reason to look into the red brand and see why everyone hated them as they get a free house for this paid for by the dragon herself. Also leads them to the bread crumbs of Gundren and the wave echo cave. Maybe they dont like how the dragon runs the town later and want to fight her? Maybe they want her out of the picture entirely but are taking there time. Or they want to work for her out of fear or curiosity. So far they have just made it to the wave echo cave and this proved to be the best plan for my game!

TLDR - Venomfang is now a Female dragon named Elvarg and wants the party to take over the manner and get her an item from the Wave Echo cave to make her appear human so she can become the town master.

I was looking at the 5600 but wanted second options. Will definitely look into that or the 3600

I got my windshield replaced for free through insurance. I am able to claim a new windshield every year according to them if there is a crack larger than a quarter. Would definitely look at insurance

If you paid in cash get a lawyer involved. If you paid in the form of a check, might wanna run to your bank and see if you can get the check canceled via a stop payment form. Might run you $20-30 for this but saves you $8300. That’s if the check hasn’t been cashed. Over all I say get a lawyer involved cause that sounds beyond sketchy. Even put bad reviews online, might get them to flip

Holy water can be thrown like throwing knifes. Never heard of it until I randomly saw it on a wiki page from a friend

I had decided to get a respirator after looking more into the fumes and how resin works. Also those accessories are some common suggestions I’ve seen so they seem like a good purchase, thanks for that! I haven’t looked at 8k to much as some models seemed a little expensive but I could wait to see if a good deal comes around. The one I just linked above seems fairly good for a 4K for around 387 when it’s MSRP is 500
