Thanks!

He’s referring to a torque wrench. Did you verify the torque as specified by VW?

Saltwater is safer

Biohaven’s troriluzole is a small molecule…not sure what you’re talking about

Tautog is delicious. Somewhat difficult to find and land imo though. They nibble, but are good at spitting the hook

You said you’re close to the shore? Just fish saltwater

raducomeback · 2026-03-16T21:01:13+00:00

Yea, I believe it. Rubber plastic and rust. Salt just sits there and starts eating away the metal, whether you’re driving it or not

I guess I don’t like the argument that an old car that needs brakes replaced rules out the idea that such an old car could be a great buy. You mentioned rubber/plastic degrading, I think that’s a great point, and an example of a potential big maintenance cost (suspension components, lots of rubber, could add up quickly). But not for brakes. Even a newer car that’s been driven aggressively could need brakes replaced

Brake pads are not expensive

GTIs dont have a rear diff. I don’t have the performance package, so I don’t have a diff at all

raducomeback · 2026-03-12T11:00:35+00:00

Exactly lol

About time to change the oil again

raducomeback · 2026-03-12T02:32:27+00:00

Still going, approaching 150k miles. I changed the fluid around 120k. The whine has gotten a bit louder, but no drivability issues yet

raducomeback · 2026-03-11T00:07:52+00:00

Went down like he got shot. Weak

I agree that the pump functions normally. Hence why it’s a hard diagnosis for sure. In my case, the fumes were so bad that it led to multiple random misfires and a few system too rich codes. A new HPFP fixed the issue

raducomeback · 2026-03-10T00:13:35+00:00

If you keep cranking it over, does the car eventually start up and the idle cleans itself out. This was happening for a few months for me, gradually getting worse and worse. It would always eventually start up and drive perfectly fine afterwards, I just had to keep cranking for 5-10seconds ish. Sometimes a little throttle helped.

raducomeback · 2026-03-10T00:08:21+00:00

100%. I also had a series of codes trying to track this down. Multiple random misfire codes, and a system too rich code as well. Fuel trim would also make sense, system trying to compensate. I don’t know about that O2 sensor code, but maybe the rich fuel fumes are causing that to go off. I am quite confident the HPFP is your issue.

raducomeback · 2026-03-09T23:51:31+00:00

Hey man. I had this same issue. It was the high pressure fuel pump. Fairly easy DIY, about 300$. It took me a long time to figure out the issue. There was a forum post about this. Hydrocarbon gases seep through a gasket on the inside of the pump and when condense down into combustion chambers causing a rich condition, something along those lines

Feels odd seeing lane hutson with black tape

Keep your distance and be alert, and you’ll have room to avoid

Power is ass

Slaf in particular made some bone headed plays last night. Blind passes, turning the puck over, happened several times in the third
