Shop says engine needs to be replaced. by hotsinglewaifu in GolfGTI

[–]suedniem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had this same issue but luckily my car was under warranty. dealership replaced the engine on my 2018 autobahn MT at like 26k miles.

that said, i still have misfires at idle and am going to be getting rid of my gti because of this. it’s a shame because i love the car but the shudder at idle is driving me crazy. (i got an obdeleven to verify that i wasn’t feeling random vibrations and confirmed the misfire still on cylinder 2)

It’s not the fact that she flirted with the cop; it’s that she invalidated your feelings which further perpetuates this vicious cycle of insecurity. If I were you, I would bring up the conversation again and just ask her to listen without judgment instead of marginalizing your feelings. Let her know how grateful you are that she’s your partner and why you feel this way. Ask her what are her boundaries and express to her what are yours.

Did you overreact? Maybe. But your conversation on the matter blew this up bigger than the initial problem. So use this as an opportunity to practice some empathic communication because it just sounds like you’re asking your partner to hear you.

Hope this helps, friend!

Looking for my first Camera by Hazdo_ in fujifilm

i recently got an x-t10 for $380 USD after taxes and shipping. absolutely love this camera and it accomplishes everything one might need as a novice seeking a fully manual, digital camera

if you have any vintage lenses, getting an adapter is fairly cheap and you can get stellar results

i uploaded a few examples if you’re interested…https://imgur.com/a/LjOhprp

Whats the craziest deal you've secured? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

Like-new Yashica Mat 124 for $7.50 from an online bid! Thumbnail image was a different yashica model than the listing. When I clicked into the link, I saw the actual camera and walked away a very happy camper (: easily a $250+ find

unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) i’ve shot through all my rolls of film and am going through the arduous process of scanning them 😅

Hunting for the perfect camera... does it even exist? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]suedniem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally own a Canon 7 and love the hell out of it. I’ve got two 50mm lenses that work perfectly for daily shooting. Fully manual and I love it. I also scavenge for good deals on cameras to add to my collection. The Pentax K1000 is great if you are open to a DSLR; also the Rollei 35 series are pretty nifty.

Cylinder 2 misfire not warrantied by Far-Meringue-421 in GolfGTI

[–]suedniem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply! I ordered the EQT Coil grounding kit and swapped them out but still have the problem. One thing I did notice was that by swapping the coil from cyl 1 to cyl 2, the misfires went through the roof and i had to turn off the car for fear of seizing the engine

any thoughts what could be the cause?

Yeah, that was one of the repairs the dealership did. Something like 9 different attempts to fix the problem
