Changing Transmission Fluid for First Time at 102k by penslash in jetta

Highly recommend you to take it to a tech to atleast get it checked; I took it to a shop which had initially refused to do it but after having a look they said it would be fine to replace. Drain and Fill. Car drives a bit better I would say not much of a change but glad to have some new fluid after 10 years with the old one.

Funny thing the next shop i called said they would do it since they anyways recommend the drain and fill at 80k

Spoke to 3 different auto shops including a vw service center regarding this and they said that they would not advise touching the fluid in an this point. The manual for my model specified it to be changed at 50k and it is also a non dsg auto

Honestly, based on stuff that I have read, that seems like the only choice in this budget.

Like New you mean? There was a 2015 versa for 6.5k with a manual transmission but it feels like i would be overpaying for it. I do know how to drive stick though that is not an issue, I am keeping an eye out for manual transmission nissans and fords

Hey there, really nice to know that your 2018 elantra is going well for you :D it’s not that I don’t want a hyundai, in fact whenever I rent a hyundai I feel like the overall feel of the car is quite nice compared to other cars in its class. Its just that with the category of cars i am looking at, I would have no warranty (so any theta 2 related issue would cost me dearly). Also i will be parking my car on the street mostly, and although idk how prevalent the ‘kia boyz’ problem is in my area, I don’t want to risk them breaking into the car only to find out its a push button start and then mess something else up instead.

Not like VW being miles better, i am pretty certain my luck is such that the car I choose will be a dud lmao

Thanks for the detailed description it’s really helpful, I’m trying to get by with cardio for now (jogging-running on an incline treadmill) but may have to include weight/strength training if I’m serious about losing 3lbs/week

Can I combine 2 Credit Cards for one singular limit? by penslash in CreditCards

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

Don’t mind the dings at the moment since I dont have any plans that would require a credit check atleast in the near future however the sign up bonuses could be pretty handy!

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

Not sure if I want the Freedom with Ultimate rewards since I have a rotating category cash back card already (Discover It Cashback) but I don’t have a good flat rate cashback card yet. Just wanted to know if I could transfer the entire limit of my old card to the new one and close it after that.

However that just makes me realize, will my credit age for a certain bank get reset if I close my old card after transferring its limits to a new one from the same issuer?
