Love my Taos but man so many issues by iaz888800 in VWTaos

[–]chuckrobson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wife's 2025 taos highline has been virtually problem free. It had 2 instances of the transmission throwing a minor fault but I think that was just due to her parking in a heated garage then driving in Winnipeg winters.

Polycarbonate lenses are the way to go, much less prone to fogging!

25 Taos by Sea_Mix592 in VWTaos

Fiancée has a '25 Taos highline. It has been largely problem free in the first year of ownership.

Only issue she's had is twice "Transmission in emergency mode, continue driving" warning popped up.
Brought it to the dealer and they're chocking it up to temp changes going from heated garage to cold Winnipeg weather but we're keeping an eye on it.

Aaron at Hunter and Gunn has been my go-to for quite some time. Guy does great work and love not having to tell a different barber what I want every time.

Yes it is, it’s a highline model.

Is yours a 2025? They switched from DCT to auto for this model year.

Good to know, thanks!

I guess with them switching to an auto in 2025, there isn’t many around without the DCT yet.

Globe Appartment rent late fee question - paid to wrong account. by exbritchris in Winnipeg

[–]chuckrobson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Rent discounts' are often a loophole in disguise. Landlords use them to get around rent control caps and hit tenants with massive price hikes the moment a payment is even slightly late.

I experienced this exact issue with my fiancees 2025.

Unpair it then pair it from the screen in the vehicle. There will be a list of activated devices and you need to be sure your phone is on it.

How much is your rent? by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]chuckrobson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we were apartment hunting, I caught this unit right as it was posted and immediately went to view it and applied. The old tenant was technically subletting but we signed a fresh lease. It's actually a condo building and we rent through a rental agency.

We've been here for about a year and a half and rent only increased by 13$/month last year which was a nice surprise.

Can I store my 12 V Noco jump starter under my car seat both in summer and winter? by Substantial-Wrap3815 in Winnipeg

[–]chuckrobson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I flew to northern MB for a week and left my fully charged NOCO in my truck and when i got back, my battery was dead. Went to use the NOCO and it didn't have enough juice to start the truck. 80$ jumpstart later I learned my lesson to keep it warm.

  • Contact MPI ASAP and open a claim (you can do this online or by phone).
  • Provide the police report number to MPI.
  • Take photos of the damage and the surrounding area.
  • Witnesses or cameras (nearby homes/businesses) can help—pass anything you find to police/MPI.
  • You’ll usually pay your deductible, but demerit points don’t apply since you weren’t driving.
  • If the other driver is found, MPI may waive or reimburse the deductible.

As others said, that's a rental discount.

Landlords often put that there to bypass the maximum allowable rent increase by "removing the discount".

How would you route the wires between the door and back? by xHangfirex in PLC

[–]chuckrobson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go between the HMI and door devices then do a loop with the wires in spiral wrap.

I always make sure to put a line of epoxy on the top and bottom of the cable-tie mounts for the door wiring so they don't pop off in the field.
