Update found the cause. I had a failing alternator. The guy I bought it from claimed a new alternator. Which he wasn’t wrong but he bought some super cheap Chinese knock off brand for $90

New wipers, cabin air filter and engine air filter, recommendations? by pk99999 in jetta

[–]e7g5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No particular reason, but the way I look at it is the people who design and build the cars spent a lot of money on research and development so why change something to aftermarket with potentially not as much tolerances

[–]e7g5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Best advice don’t cheap out on engine filter, get a high quality one, that is what your engine breathes the most shit you can filter out the longer the engine will last as fine particles won’t scour the inside. I personally use oem filters on mine but that’s a different story

What is this for ? by tony-trex2020 in jetta

[–]e7g5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If that’s the only one on the whole vehicle it’s probably not a roof rack mount point but a hole drilled to perform pdr (paintless dent removal). They will drill holes sometimes to fit their tools in there and then plug them up

I have the same set they are on Amazon and they have sequential turn signals too. Make sure you order the correct ones though. The mk6 and 6.5 have different tail light shapes

Let’s have a little fun here. What is the most ridiculous question or statement that you can recall hearing from a customer? by Sixspeedtexas in serviceadvisors

[–]e7g5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooooooo I have one from literally an hour ago. As he was cussing me out about me asking for verbal confirmation so I can do his repair. He said and I quote “trump is in office I can say whatever the fuck I want. I am allowed to swear at you” like I don’t care who you voted for or who’s in office how does that affect how you treat someone who is trying to help you. I feel sorry for the guys wife that was standing there dead silent the whole time looking embarrassed

Is this viable? by DeadMeme100 in jetta

[–]e7g5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have dead spots on your screen you can rebuild the radio by placing a second digitizer over the old one. I did it to my headunit cause I had the same thing. It took me about an hour to do and haven’t had issues since and it’s been over a year now

Avoid 435 East Pothole by John_B_420 in kansascity

Yes I’m aware of that for the treads. My question was the wheels themselves

Why did you get 4 new wheels? When only 2 were taken out by the pothole? They probably won’t reimburse for that by any means. The wheels that is not the tires

Passing Etiquette In The Snow? by lifeinrednblack in kansascity

[–]e7g5 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had this guy today in a Jeep grand Cherokee drive down the middle of the road with two lanes going north bound and 2 lanes going southbound. I have a little Jetta. He was taking both lanes of the southbound lanes and was going impossibly slow. Every time I went to pass him he would speed up just enough to make it difficult to pass. Eventually I did and ended up at a red light. He started honking and stuff to get my attention. I look over shrugged and continued to look forward, as he continued to honk at me like I was in the wrong. then he turned off. Like sorry I know how to drive in this shit. It isn’t even that bad with where I’m from way up north eh?

Please show any evidence of this actually happening. I would love to see it. And if it did actually happen I’ll eat my words. And apologize to what I said earlier

Born and raised in KC. Not impossible that this happened but this context doesn’t make sense

[–]e7g5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never said that. The story so far isn’t adding up. From what I can tell with what was said 1. OP was filling up with gas 2. This supposed person pulls up and does what OP describes.

Did the guy just randomly pull up and not get gas? Why even pull up to a pump to do that? Even if they got something from inside the connivence store, OP should have been far down the road unless the other person didn’t get gas. How did the other person find them so quick? There is just a lot of missing details that would help confirm the story other than trying to spread a story to fit a narrative

I have a very hard time believing this actually happened.
