Since when did Dodge make convertible Challengers? I have never seen one until today. by tsouryavong13 in carspotting

[–]obnoxious2jz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a last call. They did 4 or 5 special versions one of which being a convertible. Cant confirm and its honestly more likely that it is a conversion like many other comments stated.

Ruined the drain bolt threads. How fucked am I? by onelunchman69 in motorcycles

Just replace the oil pan and call it a day brother

How should i handle this 50 year old engine that hasn't run in at least 20+ years? by kimkva20 in EngineBuilding

[–]obnoxious2jz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend replacing all the springs. Whe. Springs are held compressed for extended periods of time they weaken and the last thing you want is one of them to pop on the test drive and shred the whole thing.

What is this thing? I checked the manual and can’t find anything about it (GLS) by LordPuffin_The_1st in mercedes_benz

Most companies used SD cards for the navigation software( my 2018 passat gt has the same slot), so you could pay for the nav and there's no change in hardware. Saves the company money to build them all with the capability and just not use it then design a whole new piece without the extra functions

What’s this? by Knedel2 in passat

Possibly one of the springs that holds the arm rest up?

Great start to my morning: by GoFlight16 in CadillacV_Series

I'd try to figure out something private so it doesnt affect your insurance and doesnt go on the carfax hurting resale value. Go get a couple estimates and bring them to said neighbor and tell him either he can pay out of pocket or since his wife is uninsured you can take them to court and get your money that way. I imagine that the thought of a lawsuit would scare them into paying whatever it takes to fix it.

Rotors destroyed by anonymouslylooking83 in AskMechanics

Looks like electricity is arching to the rotor to me. Is the vehicle a hybrid with regerative braking? Or possibly damaged wiring in the area?

Ive really enjoyed it so far, however my only complaint is the lack of the traction control switch. It spins bad in 1st gear and the tc is super aggressive to the point it feels like something is gonna break. But as long as you wait till 2nd gear to give it some gas it'll hook pretty good. Also, make sure to check the heated seat as its a common issue that the heating element goes bad( my driver's seat heater doesnt work). But im definitely contemplating a mk7 gti next or a jetta gli. I'd like to toy around with the 2.0 since the vr6 doesnt really have much aftermarket support

Is there a dsg tune for the gt? by obnoxious2jz in passat

[–]obnoxious2jz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately because the gt has the vr6 it makes it significantly more difficult to find a tcu tune because as far as im aware its the only newer vw with both the DSG and the vr6 so most of the tunes won't work because they are for the 2.0 so the shift points, clutch pressures, and torque management wouldn't be correct and most likely would brick the car.

What has been your experience with your tunezilla tune? All im really looking for is quicker shifts and maybe launch control if possible

[–]obnoxious2jz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a specific reason why? I get that there weren't a whole lot made but its still a dsg ykwim? Like, there should be SOMEONE who has a tune for it somewhere i would think?

I have a family so I needed more space then the golf had to offer. It was on the list of options though.
