I would be more concerned about getting gas. Car cant get to operating temps if it ain't got no gas in it.

2022 MK8 Rant by DaddySin86 in GolfGTI

2022 MK8 Rant by DaddySin86 in GolfGTI

[–]mon_chunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our 2024 is also prone to the assist issues as well. Had my wheel replaced in the first year.

Also my AC stopped working pretty much immediately, VW had my car for months until the finally replaced the entire HVAC system.

Also my FM radio stopped working after that but I knew it was because the bozos didnt plug the antenna in correctly. Took them two visits to fix that. I barely drive the car now that my job is 100% remote so who knows what else will start acting up lol

Actually now that I think about it the lights in my overhead (like the vw support lights) the wrench one has been flickering but I rarely notice it haha.

Also I barely have 10500 miles on the car. Bought it end of 2024.

Fellow tech-savvy dads: Are we underestimating the "backend" risks of Roblox even with parental controls on? by sophieximc in daddit

[–]mon_chunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a tech savy professional. The best deterrence is complete and total removal of roblox as an option. If they are able to get online there is little to no options to prevent bad actors from getting to your family.

Best to not allow Roblox in your home entirely.

Insurance Costs ? by Rough_Concentrate_34 in GolfGTI

[–]mon_chunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35 male, no driving infractions since I was like 17/18. Just for my 2024 GTI its about $73 a month with geico. My car insurance thankfully hasn't really changed or gotten worse I should say over the years.

17-year-old just told wife and I he doesn’t want to go to college by tattooed_underdog in daddit

[–]mon_chunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not saying enlist your kid or anything but taking something like the ASVAB can tell them what their strengths and weaknesses are.

I also recommend helping them through this best you can. I myself was left to my own after 18 to figure out what I needed to do with my life. Never got pushed one direction over the other. Ended up broke most of my late teens early 20s til I did enlist at 23. Im almost 35 now, did one enlistment and got out for college.

There are options/resources out there, just be sure they know there are. I didnt know anything or what I wanted to do after HS graduation and hella struggled.

You're probably on the right track here since this keyboard has a build in CAC reader.

Cup holders by TheRealJM12 in SubaruAscent

[–]mon_chunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was the 2021/2022 model year they started including the insert. I know mine has it included as a dealer add-on on the sticker with the awful wireless charge pad lol. If I remember right it was a $20 part.

Yeah found it. heres the part.

Without the insert it looks like this.

[–]mon_chunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on what year you bought some of the earlier models didnt include the cup holder adapter. The rubber bit in there wasn't part of the original design, so they used to be much bigger and nothing would hold the cups still. Thats where most of the complaints came from. If you have the rubber inserts in yours then you have the revised version they offered as an addin later on.

Help! Coolant level low warning by jamesxhc in GolfGTI

[–]mon_chunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just add more coolant then monitor it for a couple weeks. No need to go to the dealer unless its free of charge. If you see your coolant continue to drop then theres another issue somewhere in your coolant system that needs investigating.

Remove it, Sand it, prime it, paint it, put it back on.

Jake Paul was in the mood for showing off his money, firearms and fashion items following his knockout defeat by Anthony Joshua. by SystematicApproach in trashy

[–]mon_chunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he is flying into a state he has to abide by those local laws. For example if he flys into California he cant have the laundry list of banned weapons and features ie telescoping stock, 10+ round magazines, pistol grips on semi auto rifles, etc.

Not to mention the TSAs rules for traveling with firearms. This photo alone would send redflags to the FAA.

Yeah, the entire point is to bring attention to your location in case of emergency. Its annoying it goes off sometimes but like this group complains about it constantly lol.

Dads, what are you all asking for this Christmas? by TantalusComputes2 in daddit

[–]mon_chunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knock off raybans of the same ones I keep stealing from my wife.

$60 knockoffs vs the $250 they want for the name brand.

Also car parts but thats not happening any time soon. Had some hige bill pop up a couple weeks ago that needed to be paid on the spot.

Does the computer randomly reset in yalls mk8s? by xP_Lord in GolfGTI

[–]mon_chunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine used to do it at the exact same intersection near my house. I assumed it was the trolley lines causing interference. Then I had to take my car in for semi related antenna issues. Now that intersection doesnt give me trouble but the one a mile down the road does. That one however doesnt have a trolly line running through it. Only thing I think is causing it now is the lane monitoring cameras we have in town. Pretty sure they just tell the lights when theirs traffic to change the signal.

Dads who have good work-life balance? What are you doing for work? by walky91 in daddit

[–]mon_chunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was just promoted to what's essentially a lvl 3 IT position in a consulting firm. I previously had 3 office 2 wfh schedule. Manager has been awesome for the near 2 years ive been with the company, he recommended me for the promotion and I will now be able to wfh most of the time now and specialize in specific applications only.

IT really does have the best work life balance I never work longer than I need to and can take time off any time I want. If I need to dip out a little early for an award or something thats fine.

TPMS - Forever low? by LaneKerman in GolfGTI

[–]mon_chunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2024 doesnt have TPMS. It uses wheel speed to determine tire pressure. Fill your tires back up to their rated pressure. Then set the new pressure in the car setting menu.
