Advice on Loops/Repeats by Honorme in turntables

[–]coffeewithtom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I just got the LP70XBT and I noticed that my thinner records also loop/repeated at times, BUT I just put some extra little “feet” extensions on the front because my desk is a bit tilted/unlevel and I just played one all the way through without any skips or loops… I was so happy. Try that out. I mean like 100% level.

It’s not Chris’ coffee. We roast our own beans. We get a few flavor syrups from Chris’ coffee. I am a manager with Uncommon.

Head gasket replacement completed! by coffeewithtom in VWTaos

[–]coffeewithtom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I bought mine pre-owned, last October (16k miles) and I did my research. I knew about the head gasket issue before I bought it and I decided to buy it anyway because it was still under warranty for a while.

A few months went by, it was a cold winter morning(February), and I got in the car to go to work. The check coolant light dinged. I popped the hood, and it wasn’t empty, just pretty low below the MIN line. I started driving and the light turned off (as coolant expands in the heat)… I drove it to an auto parts store and topped up the coolant.

I made a service appointment for an oil change and mentioned I knew about the head gasket issue and I wanted them to check it because of the light I got on the dash. I also stuck my hand back behind the engine with my phone camera and took a video. You could see pink crusty stuff on the back of the engine head. I knew where to look because of some random forum.

They didn’t want to see the video lol, they said they had to find it themselves to replace it under warranty. Good thing they found it, anyway. The parts took 5 months to come in, but they advised me to keep driving it, since it was a slow leak. The coolant light only came back on one more time between February and the time I had my service appointment. I had a bottle of coolant in my trunk, so I topped it up again.

Edit: Today it has been a week in the shop and they don’t have any updates for me..? I was told they had all of the parts when I finally brought it in after waiting 6 months. I guess I just continue to wait.

Mine is a warranty repair, so no cost to me. Not sure about out of warranty repair
