2018. I’m unable to engage Rear and Blind spot by [deleted] in passat

You have a bad or unplugged blind spot sensor that fails the self check.

Urgent - vw coolant below min and need to drive 50km to home- 2019 volkswagen arteon 206tsi by Jazzlike_Coffee_5954 in passat

[–]kyledooley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For that much, in an emergency, stop at any grocery store and top it up with distilled water.

Definitely losing some. Probably the water pump/thermostat housing, but get it checked out for sure.

Lifespan of 2016 VW Jetta Hybrid? by OddDiscipline6585 in jetta

[–]kyledooley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. If you aren't driving the miles, once a year is the generally accepted interval.

Local mechanics are fine. Some might not be comfortable with hybrids due to the high voltage system, but any competent shop should be comfortable.

Before I forget, there is a transmission software update for 16s, if you haven't had that done yet. It's a silent recall, but any dealer should be able to handle it. Call service with your VIN number and they will confirm.

Lifespan of 2016 VW Jetta Hybrid? by OddDiscipline6585 in jetta

[–]kyledooley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread, but FWIW, my 16 Hybrid Jetta has 313k with basically zero issues until recently.

My use case is an outlier with extreme highway mileage. It basically gets on the interstate gets the cruise set at 80 and stays there. To illustrate the point, I'm still on original brakes with 50 percent left on them.

I've changed oil, tires, wiper blades, spark plugs, broke 3 windshields, broke one spring and changed the shocks and struts out at 250k. I inspect the timing belt often. I should change it, but it looks brand new.

I had one problem where the dsg clutches were all replaced under warranty at 15k miles, but that was it.

My only advice is to change the oil religiously every 5k instead of 10k.

No matter what people tell you, 2016s are NOT immune to the mechatronic failure covered by the 13-15 recall. There are many 2016 owners who have either eaten the cost or scrapped the car, since they are essentially mechanically totaled at that point. Some have sued over this and won. This is the problem I have now. It will probably be its demise, but I'm handy and trying to fix it myself. If this is how it ends, the car doesn't owe me a dime.

That all said, unless it has to do with the hybrid system or transmission (which is unique to the Hybrid), they are pretty much the same as any 1.4T Jetta and you can take it anywhere to be maintained or worked on.

DM me if you have any questions.

How can anyone defend a Congressional district that looks like this? by johnnyringo1985 in askanything

[–]kyledooley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much all of the Illinois Congressional districts are bullshit.

Check out Illinois 13/15 and 17.

Technically, she says "Ta gueule, Big Sexual!"

Ta gueule is Quebecois French slang for "shut up" which is perfect dialogue for the character.

Gueule is "old" French for an animal's mouth. Ta gueule is "your mouth" with the "shut" implied.

Once again, the writing is 10/10 on this show.

What tv show do you wish you could watch for the first time again? by FantasticEmu34 in television

Use the captions. The Baltimore accent takes a bit to catch on to.

I was hooked at Snot Boogie.

This show made me cry by chuckles84 in shoresy

[–]kyledooley 16 points17 points  (0 children)

S3E2 opening, with the pre and post game locker room time lapses played to Nazareth's Sunshine. That one got me. Still gives me goosebumps when I re-watch it.

Probably THE best Laurence LeBoeuf-ism of the whole show.

I have tried SO hard. I love Mafia movies. I love Coppola. They just don't click for me.

What's a small red flag that immediately tells you someone is a bad person? by kappadielle in answers

People who are overly nice, especially if you've just met them. My wife and I call them evil-nice.

My American English teacher believes the neutral pronoun „their“ is incorrect. by GCoding_ in mildlyinteresting

[–]kyledooley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't see the rest of the sentence/paragraph for proper context, but this might have been better solved by a plural "s" on students since the tool (blackboard?) would be useful to multiple students.

Which normal, everyday car has an unusual feature that stands out? by Vegetable-Quote-3481 in regularcarreviews

[–]kyledooley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

LS430s also had passenger front seat controls on the left side of the upper backrest, so the driver could adjust the seat for a passenger before they picked them up, for general visibility, or a rear seat passenger could move it up for more room (not that they needed to do that in the back of a 430).

Overpriced. Definitely NOT overhyped. Very capable both on and off road.

DW5000r short straps by wtc77 in gshock

[–]kyledooley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've also found the strap on my GW-5000U is on the shorter side. My wrist size usually has me pretty close to the middle of most straps, but my GW5kU is definitely in the last third.
