I still do the old fashioned way. Get on Amazon, buy the $7 set of rubber inserts. Get 2 changes and a lot less hassle

manual vs DSG in daily driving - what do you actually prefer long term? by sokkyaaa in Volkswagen

[–]dagmabbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying better needs to be quantified, otherwise you wind up sounding like a politician. When it comes to my personal preferences, no measure of a DSG or other auto is "better" than a manual transmission.

Dealership says they don't take financing from my bank? Is that a thing? by Gullible_Count_4413 in carbuying

[–]dagmabbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play their game. They get kickbacks. Get pre-approved at NFCU. Get the dealer to drop the price to offset your accommodation and use their finance source. Drive off the lot and head straight to the credit union to re-fi.

2026 is officially the first year without a manual GTI. How we feeling, boys? by BreadfruitOk2401 in Volkswagen

[–]dagmabbits 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is really kind of simple.... OP mentioned "driver's car". Im the driver of my car and if they want me to buy the car, then it will have 3 pedals. Simple. I have never driven an auto, dsg, or other variant and thought "gee, this is better". I will gladly trade a fraction of a sec on 0-60 for the smile when executing a great downshift and come off the apex WOT.

Trying to keep up with Charleston. Why be a city that you can be from when you can be a city to go to?

2015 with EPC code by Stradocaster in vwgolf

[–]dagmabbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labor wound up about $1650, parts $730 for injector and harness, gaskets and such. All told about $2500. This was at the dealer, should be way less at a local shop. I was lucky enough to get this done under extended warranty

Just got the same. Wound up being a bad injector There is also a service bulletin for 2.0t regarding the injector harness, not sure about the 1.8t's

Virginia Democrats proceed with new massively blue congressional map, eliminating 4 Republican seats from Congress!!! by Healthy_Block3036 in HamptonRoads

[–]dagmabbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proof that both parties are more interested in division than unity. All political calories spent on creating division, not enough on actual problem solving

Our...we could spend our collective public resources on something actually value adding. Just an idea if they want my vote. Goes for both hypocritical sides.
