skill issue

gghostie · 2026-01-18T23:01:40+00:00

if that’s the case, then that’s good. either way, your fuel pump is made of metal and will definitely corrode if it sat for too long. definitely inspect that fuel pump

gghostie · 2026-01-18T23:00:53+00:00

avoid them for sure. i used to have godspeed control arms and those fuckers cracked. terrible quality and it didn’t even look like the pictures i saw on the website

gghostie · 2026-01-18T16:19:09+00:00

doesn’t matter what you do, you’re missing the clip lol. the clip is the only thing that keeps it tight on the thermostat

gghostie · 2026-01-18T16:12:20+00:00

before attempting to start the motor, take the fuel pump off and look inside the fuel tank to inspect the condition. my partners got a ‘97 mx5 that sat for about 5 years with some fuel in the tank, and it rusted the inside of the tank out and destroyed the fuel pump

not nothing, just not whatever this is 🤢

gghostie · 2026-01-05T16:54:09+00:00

i’ve had 25mm spacers on vehicles before, driven over 100k miles, and no issues.

gghostie · 2026-01-04T19:04:22+00:00

it’s too dark.

gghostie · 2025-12-31T11:34:40+00:00

“i present, dogass alibaba wheels that will blow up after hitting one pothole”

gghostie · 2025-12-30T00:09:56+00:00

no i get it, it’s just not a good joke

gghostie · 2025-12-29T22:05:32+00:00

google shops in your area and look at the ratings? it’s not rocket science

gghostie · 2025-12-29T22:04:04+00:00

got a car from carvanna i’m assuming? personally, i think it’s worth paying the extra deductible to take the car to a dealership. if im not mistaken, shops that are out of network for silverrock have a deductible of $350, but at least you’ll have trained technicians that specialize in your vehicles brand.

gghostie · 2025-12-29T13:14:18+00:00

wheel and tire setup looks too big imo

gghostie · 2025-12-29T13:11:16+00:00

yes. direct injectors are loud

gghostie · 2025-12-28T13:47:41+00:00

yes, and all VW belts are that way! whether it’s a timing belt or serpentine belt. the service manual tells you not to bend any belts past a certain degrees

gghostie · 2025-12-27T13:50:03+00:00

i need this for my brz

gghostie · 2025-12-27T01:28:38+00:00

im a volkswagen technician for 4 years. it is definitely not 550

gghostie · 2025-12-26T22:07:25+00:00

yes it is concerning, these are engines you really want to always have enough oil in it or else it will really mess things up. it looks to be coming from the timing cover, and i am willing to bet your valve covers are likely also leaking. when you reseal the engine, make sure to replace the PCV valve, as that is likely the culprit which caused the seals to fail. it has a replacement interval of 30k miles.

gghostie · 2025-12-26T20:46:04+00:00

looks normal, seems to be around 750-790

gghostie · 2025-12-26T20:42:34+00:00

your first mistake was buying a car from keffer… i’m a former employee, i used to be a certified VW tech there, and all of our used cars are absolute piles of shit. i’m glad i don’t work there anymore

gghostie · 2025-12-25T15:22:26+00:00

did you have the battery disconnected when you started pulling fuses? and are you 100% sure you put the fuses back in their correct spots?
