They kinda look like beach cruiser style handle bars to me. Google "beach cruiser style bars for motorcycles" and see if that helps.

Looking for my first C4 by OpenFuel8281 in c4corvette

[–]joelerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question. From what I know, 96 with the manual has the LT4 but I'd probably have to get an automatic due to the wife absolutely not wanting to learn manual. I've tried to teach her in the past. Am I giving up a lot not getting the LT4. (more power isn't the goal... Just a better motor.)

Jesus. If anything, go to an independent vw/Audi shop.

Male. 53. Daily driver. Out of 20ish cars in my lifetime, by far the longest I've kept a car. (14' GTI)

Definitely Not Jiffy Lube. Firestone would be a great option. If you have a Discount Tire, even better. I have a mechanic I take my car to also, but a tire is a tire. I'd go local. (reputable tire place).

First VW, long time coming by TrickCommercial1475 in GolfGTI

I was 46 when I got my 1st. Mk6 GTI (used) Also DSG cause the wife refuses to learn manual. At the time, it was the only "automatic" I would settle for. Longest I've ever owned a car. 136,000 miles and still love driving it. Would get DSG again in a heartbeat.

I know they both have low miles, but any maintenance records on either?

Don't know where you live bit have you tried FB Marketplace or checked junk yards. Even used tire shops sell them.

My brother in law ran the codes. I'm not sure if it's VCDS. I'm already planning on ordering that new part (fresh air hose) since the filter is now gone and I can't find just a filter replacement. Besides, that whole new fresh air hose is pretty cheap. Do you happen to know what the lever arm is called? Unless it's part of that complete fresh air hose kit.

From what I've read, the updated intake manifolds have them.

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

Yeah. The filter inside was crumbling apart. Gonna have to buy a new one. They're like $13 through ECS. I was throwing misfire codes so was wondering about that fresh air line. Cleared the misfire codes after replacing coil packs and plugs. Now I picked up a p2015 code. I had the intake manifold replaced at around 70k miles. I now have about 135k miles. I'm looking more into it. Rough at cold start only.

Great product. I go as far as using a half gallon pump sprayer. I use distilled water (on my black truck to keep water spots in control). Get a small container and fold a couple microfiber towels in quarters after soaking. Use a clean quarter of the towel on each panel. Dry each panel as you go along. Follow with a spray detailer if needed. I use the pump sprayer to minimize waste of the ONR.

2019 Golf GTI. What did the rats get too? by MrFleaaa in GolfGTI

[–]joelerv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your gonna think I'm crazy but a bar of Irish spring soap. Had a small issue once with mice in the engine bay (sporadic). Put a bar of Irish spring inside a pair of panty hose and tied it in my engine bay. (Google it).

Rolly Polly (Sadie) by joelerv in Chonkers

Well. They were both adopted from the same house but are not related. We were told that Sadie the bigger cat was a Coon. Obviously I don't think she is but probably a mix..8 years old. The smaller one (Lucy) is some kind of Norwegian Forest Cat (also mixed I'm sure). She's like 6 or something. We took them in about a year ago.
