Yes and his collaborations with Paul from DAP pretty good too considering Paul is not all that funny lol

Humble Mechanic as I’m a VW addict. His DAZA transplant into his totaled Golf R was awesome from a technical standpoint especially the wiring an Audi 2.5L from an RS3 into the Golf R. Amazing the interchangeability btwn the two cars. Rainman Rays wide variety of battles with gravity Car care...

Ford Transit Connect with 215k miles before I sold it still running great and not using hardly any oil. Lived on mostly frankenbrews of leftovers from my other cars and mostly 0w20.

Living in WV I find it a great place to break in an engine. Some flat, just vary RPM, some mountain pulls just keep it under 3,500 rpm and then some engine braking going down the other side of the mountain to work in the back side of everything. Knock on wood doing this breaking in I’ve never...

Mom passed in her sleep last night. Her struggles and frustrations are over. If I came away with anything from being her son is that I know I was loved and that is the greatest thing a person could possibly desire.

The listing agent may be the buyer’s agent also.

Slip yoke

K&N and dirty throttle body checks out.

Check for vacuum leaks and see if doing a readaptation of the throttle body helps. That noise maybe a busted diaphragm in the pcv valve/oil separator whistling which may introduce unmetered air into the system causing the lean conditions

I always change mine around 70k miles. Here is a picture of my 2017 Audi A4. Easily changed in the driveway.

WV504 with lowest NOACK that’s about all I care to worry about.

I don’t think I could ever bring myself to do that. All I could think of was grinding dirt into the paint. If you pre rinse the car why not rinse off the cleaner

My microfiber towels that touch paint never touch the ground and are washed separately and are expensive. The cheap microfiber towels are only used on the interior such as the dash, cleaning glass and door jamb drying. As they wear they become more fuzzy so to speak and would collect debris. I...

I used to have a lot of rental property and have literally repaired hundreds of toilets and can’t quite understand what you are describing when you say a leak within the tank. Is the float not applying enough pressure to shut the water off? That may explain the water at the base of the bowl fill...

Most 0w-40 are just a hair thicker than 30 weight oils so it’s not a stretch to use it. I have an EVO4 in my GTI and I’ve moved it to 0w-30 504 for the same reason. A bit more better.

Margin is exactly why I dropped the factory fill at around 700 miles and went with Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30 in the GTI.

Well 5w-30 Valvoline restore and protect is in the engine and the date code on the tires is 2015 so those will be replaced very soon. He has installed a bike rack/pad on the tailgate for his Santa Cruz “Bronson” Enduro Mountain bike that evidently cost twice as much as the truck lol. First...

Good points. Yeah I’ve heard good things about the 4.6 but just never had one. The 2002 is one of the first years with the aluminum intake thus avoiding the cracked plastic intakes. I figured a 5W-30 synthetic would be better than the 0W-20 conventional and I haven’t seen any proof of sludge...

My 24 year old son got back in town today, he is an OTR truck driver, for the holiday. A friend of his has a grandmother that was was wanting to sell an old truck and he knew my son was looking for an old beater so he told him about it. Turns out I think it’s far from a beater as it’s a 2002...

I’ve used the groits 3 in 1 on my dark green Jeep Grand Cherokee and my black GTI and it works fine on both. Produces great shine and very slippery surface and good water beading well past four months.
