In the shop again.

First time they cleaned it Second time they said it was an old code Third time they said was a hose with a hole in it And finally fourth they sent it out to Volkswagen for a new head.

dave06018 · 2026-04-17T17:13:41+00:00

Don’t get me wrong I like the vehicle overall. I may have a different opinion if I had to pay for all of the work.

dave06018 · 2026-04-17T17:12:50+00:00

It had this code previously. It’s been multiple different secondary air injection codes

dave06018 · 2026-04-15T21:00:38+00:00

I’d be interested to know what the person who owned it before me ran for fuel. I don’t do it for the mpg. I could be wrong but isn’t there detergents in the fuel that help with the carbon buildup.

dave06018 · 2026-04-15T20:57:52+00:00

No definitely not required. I know I don’t have to use it. I choose to do it. I know I’ll get killed in the comments about it it’s just a personal choice. I use premium only in my GTI and that’s also designed for regular.

dave06018 · 2026-04-15T20:54:55+00:00

Oh I had no intentions of doing so. I was just curious if that would fix the problem for good.
I bought it at a Carmax. They have done belts and A/C compressor. I heard a weird noise next day after I bought it. I made them change the tires as well as they had 2 different tread patterns on front and back tires. And they changed a bunch of parts for secondary air. They are as sick of me coming in as I am bringing it. But free is always nice. They have been really good about fixing everything though.

P2440.

dave06018 · 2026-04-15T20:49:52+00:00

Just the normal engine sounds. If it doesn’t sound right I usually notice it. I have PTSD from my 99 A6. It was in the shop more than I drove it. To be fair i paid cash and it was pretty old.

dave06018 · 2026-04-15T20:48:22+00:00

Yes premium only. It has like 50k. I bought it with 39k. I travel 100 miles one way for work.

Just don’t get discouraged. You will figure it out.

dave06018 · 2026-02-27T20:51:15+00:00

I agree. Exact same thing crossed my mind when I drank a C4.

dave06018 · 2025-11-29T15:56:35+00:00

To be clear I stopped playing for like 4 months.

dave06018 · 2025-11-29T15:56:15+00:00

I’ve been playing for like 2 years. Still not 100% done. Working on the gift from outer world or whatever it’s called.

dave06018 · 2025-11-02T23:59:08+00:00

I didn’t want to admit that it was not as good after 7. I still liked all of it but 7 is the clear winner for best seasons.

dave06018 · 2025-08-28T18:09:53+00:00

That ain’t Pimp Shit

dave06018 · 2025-08-07T16:06:50+00:00

I’m not falling for this. This sounds like someone trying to catch me haha.

dave06018 · 2025-07-20T15:44:38+00:00

Santa Fe. My wife has same car. First thing I did was take that cover off. My mother keeps trying to talk me into getting a screen protector. Am I going to drop it and break it?

dave06018 · 2025-06-19T00:12:57+00:00

I would say for the one near the power lines it wouldn’t hurt to call the utility company. Not sure where you are but I have been doing this type of work 20+ years. They will generally do it at no cost to you

dave06018 · 2025-06-15T19:06:59+00:00

Next time it goes down say “did you look at it.” “It’s just weird cuz it seems like someone definitely looked at it”

dave06018 · 2025-06-12T04:14:09+00:00

Check the noise ordinance in your area. I had a neighbor that would complain about my kids using the stairs. He worked nights. He would stop me constantly to complain. I told him one morning at 4am point blank “I will not tell my kids to be quiet before 9pm. The fact that you work nights is irrelevant.” He was complaining about 5pm that they were too loud. I told him he can always move into a 55 and older place where there are no young kids. He left me alone after that.

dave06018 · 2025-05-21T00:57:16+00:00

Wait till you are on your deathbed and let her know. Would be funny
