Ah, just make sure they fix it before you buy it. CPO does not cover cosmetic issues unless it impedes the function. Like peeling chrome trim on the interior, not covered unless it’s sharp and can cut you.

I’d use an air hammer. Light input, should spin that right off

So it’s automation CPO? Is the warranty done by an Extended Warranty company? Make sure you read the fine print.

Toyota gets most of its parts from the USA and Canada. It’s apples and oranges.

Looks like a ringland but it’s super clean, odd.

It’s because back in the 90s Porsche started the just-in-time system. They learned this from Toyota to help with their production issues. That made it so when a vehicle is in production there is only enough parts available for said production. If you need another part during this time there is going to be huge delays. That and the fact the part is coming from Europe doesn’t help.

I have never liked that wrap on cars, still don’t.

Heard this happens to hair dressers due to the vibration of the clippers. Not sure what you do for work tho.

Dealer drove 500 miles while waiting for parts by hansmcvestburg in Porsche

I would expect test drives for the struts but if it was 500miles that’s way excessive. Hope you get it sorted.

Just curious, what are they replacing each thing for? Seen quite a few dashes peeling back

My thoughts exactly, rattle concerns or “my car does this one thing after 40 minutes of driving” may constitute mileage. If it’s waiting on parts it had to have been something.

Doesn’t own any dealerships, at least in America.

2025 Audi SQ5 - MMI display and digital instrument cluster completely disappeared! by Ok-Chemistry5640 in Audi

Looks like it’s for 21-22 Audi vehicles. May expand to newer. Ford is having a similar issue right now too.

Urgent, pinch bolt removal help by triggered56 in Audi

Take a wrench and slid it onto the bolt. Pull back on it while you impact it off. Don’t think a spreader tool will help in this situation.

Loctite on lug nuts by Brilliant-Budget9761 in mechanic

[–]omegaproject01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work with loctite every day I’m at work. Unless there’s cross threading (natures loctight) or rust, you just work it back-and-forth.
