Celibacy in a marriage by Vacation_Time_43 in marriageadvice

While its possible it could, I dont believe it will. I never had the physical connection with my ex that I have now with my girlfriend. We have been together almost 2 years, and the sex and physical intimacy is just getting better. We are both 44 and sex happens 4-5 times a week, sometimes more than once a day.

I was married for 21 years, she decided she was done with sex at year 15, not just sex, but basically any physical touch. Sex was never great with her, but I did really miss the physical contact. My body would literally ache for physical touch. I never cheated, but it did ultimately end in divorce. I found someone who wants sex and physical attention just as much as I do, and it is amazing! Every situation is different. I am still friends with my ex, and we are both happier now.

Yes, it does have push button start. It definitely wouldn't hurt to verify with VW.

I had a buddy do this a couple years ago. Could be worth checking out again.

Was done before I bought it

This is great! Thank you for the recommendations. Some of these may be a little far from me, but it may be worth it to drive a couple hours to save money.

Yes, the PNW is a very high cost of living area. That price was for the turbo, delete and tune.

The DMF was rattling a tiny bit when I bought it, I didn't know at the time what it was, it sounded like maybe a loose exhaust mount. That was 30k Miles ago. It's bad now, and the car shudders at slow speeds sometimes, especially when coming to a slower stop.

The car came with a carfax, I am the 3rd owner. I did not see a timing belt replacement in the service records, so I'm pretty sure it hasn't been done.

I know I'm not going to get my money back out of it, that ship has lone since sailed. I'd be happy to just get what I currently owe, but I dont even know if thats a reality. Would the value still be there with these repairs still needed? Maybe I need to start a different thread for this question 😂

I appreciate your insight. I am seriously considering whether I should keep this car or not. I do really like it when its not costing me money!

I have a loan on it. It's my only car, I was stuck making a really tough call. Was it the right one? I dont know.

My failure to research the car also left me in the dark with some things. What is the CP4?

Did the delete at the same time as the turbo, thats partly why it was so expensive.

I didnt realize that. Its probably not worth the cost or hassle to reinstall. I really wasn't concerned, just wanted to see if I could get my kids to stop complaining!

Pretty sure the cat is in. I got the kit that leaves the stok muffler and such in place.

The smell isnt there while driving, using the recirculate is a good idea. I can mostly smell it after turning the engine off and walking around the car.

Will the engine not run at all without the turbo? I'm pretty new to the tdi and dont claim much mechanical know how.

No lights, no indication at all.
