An old timer once said to me. It's £1 for turning the screw and £99 for knowing which screw to turn. No luck involved Ray, you knew where to look and that's the skill involved.
I could not agree more.
Exactly, I repair antique oil and gas equipment, retired in January, now the company's that I contracted to are pulling their hair out because like you said, they don't know what screw to turn!
Is that like filling Scuba tanks. The air is free, but we have a steep delivery fee.
@@michaelvangundy226 That and the cost of power to compress the air.
@@althomas6496 sounds like when my uncle retired as chief engineer off a birumen tanker, he was asked back 3 times from retirement (and signed on for an additional 6mo each time with double pay as the last time, since the new guys couldn't find the screw (hint: it was never IN the engine room... 😂
The fact that they had it in stock would tell me that this might be a problem that occurs now and then.
Essentially caused by them..
that plastic ages like hell, causing the clips to break off..
I work at a dealership (not vw) in the parts department. There is always a part that you don't expect in stock for an older vehicle either because it had been previously ordered for another customer who canceled. It also may be that the part is used across multiple vehicles (anything with a 2.5L). Doing a little bit of digging, that Engine was used from '05 to '14.
'In the future event where service is needed, which being a Volkswagen that could be any second now'
Spot on, Spot on.
Sis bought 2 of these 2.5 2010 Sport models 3 years ago off Offerup for $1000 bucks each. Both from the same retired owner with less than 80K on them. The owner didn't want to deal with the check engine and oil leaks they had. I fixed both with new valve covers, sparkplugs and a few new air hoses pretty easy fix. Surprisingly they are still running strong till this day. One's her daily work car and the other my Neice college Bug. BTW the air hoses develop cracks at the 90 degree elbows that will not be apparent and easily missed unless you disconnect them and check them thoroughly👍🏼
Yep! Those air hoses crack very easily, especially on the older models, only had one small on one, but the hole end disconnected from the rest of the hose! 2001 Passat 2.8
@@diesel1024 Absolutely 💯 they are sneaky to the untrained eye. Had never really worked on VW'S, but after working on those two became a Master Tech 🤣. I understand now why a lot of folks complain about VW'S since trying to diagnose these can be a nightmare. The Air pump connection hose on both had similar sneaky cracks at the elbow that can fall through the cracks of an eye ball inspection. Note always get OEM parts with these vehicles and save yourself the headaches. One of the Valve covers integrated (PCV) I changed out was off brand and the bad molding and gasket allowed oil to leak into cylinder #5 sparkplug hole and surrounding surfaces. That been said these engines are in a lot of VW's and run pretty strong if maintained properly by a competent mechanic. Last summer the dealership wanted to charge my neice over a grand to replace her AC compressor, but her uncle saved the day by replacing the AC compressor control solenoid a commen problem with VW'S with a RKX replacement for $55👍🏼 Always a good feeling helping out my loved ones.
@@johnny4713ify Absolutely! I know I try to save anyone from getting ripped off at the dealer, whole reason I starting doing all my own maintenance, most of my family owns VWs and they're been great to us. $125/hr at the dealer last time I was there. My other car is a MK6 2.5 Jetta, just hit 107k on that, but my uncle has a MK5 Jetta 2.5 with well over 350k miles, doing just regular maintenance. I always go for OE for PCV, I've heard some aftermarket ones are significantly louder as well, not worth the risk on something that already isn't cheap, but I get a lot of my parts for my VWs at FCPEuro, planning to do a full engine rebuild on my 2.8 and they have a lifetime replacement warranty for any parts bought from them. Definitely worth it.
@@diesel1024 That's an awesome project to take on! Pretty much the family mechanic aswell 🤣. Besides the engine work the only maintenance I've done on neices 🐞 is full suspension shocks, A arms tie rods etc and re-booted both CV Axle's they were still good, but leaking a bit of grease. Apparently the 2.5 with auto transmission driverside axle are famous for being a bear to remove that most inpatient people destroy the axle and/or transfer case getting it off 🤷♂️ I didn't know any of that until digging into to it, but I came up with my own solution that took me less than 10min to pop it off using the fork only peace from the slide hammer kit and a small prybar. In case you ever run into that fix hit me up for the 411 on how to set it up👍🏼
@@johnny4713ify Thanks for that! I'll keep that in mind, haven't had to change either of the CVs on my Jetta yet, but just changed the transmission fluid a month ago, what a pain. Going to be driving my 2.8 Passat for the first time this year, hopefully this week, had a spun bearing from oil deprivation, long story. My Passat goes through a CV axle every other oil change, serves me right for buying a cheap part with a lifetime warranty from O'Reilly's, never going to get out of this cycle, ha!
Something my Father taught me, if they have it in stock at the dealer, it's a good bet they aren't the only ones with the problem....
Used to be you walked into an automotive parts place be at a dealership or otherwise and they had parts for everything nowadays nobody keeps anything on the shelf they got to wait and send somebody to a warehouse and then get it to wherever the dealer is or whoever's working on the car what happened you're afraid to getting overstock it might cost him a few bucks hey have a good day
Ray, your vids are very educational, but at the same time they're costing me a fortune in NEW tool acquisitions. That's a good thing! I guess my heirs will have some nice tools to fight over when I go! 😉
I hate Ray cause he’s got too many VERY neat tools, I’m VERY jealous!
@@philipershler420 Yeah, he's got me shopping for a used long Snap On trim removal tool because it's such a handy reacher-and-poker/pusher/pryer.
I have a 2001 2.0 gls vw beetle.. 326,000 miles, it’s my daily driver... When I picked it up it ran like shit at 92,000 miles.. he needed a good clean.. and some love.. and has been loyal for the last 5 years.. now I’ve had Honda’s, fords, chevys, a Saturn, and a Toyota.. this has been the best car I’ve ever had.. 😁 don’t bash the new beetles too bad...
Yes it all has to do with maintenance proper maintenance and treat them right and don't cope bending stuff around and pulling on stuff and keep an eye on things like any vehicle if you take care of it and you know how to take care of it it'll take care of you bye
ive had a 2.5 5 cylinder for about 2 years, absolutely zero engine issues. glad this car was finally shown on this channel!
One of the best VW engines! They keep going and going. My uncle has a 2.5 Jetta MKV with over 300k and just regular maintenance (oil changes, spark plugs, etc), just hit 106k on my 2012 Jetta 2.5
Ray exemplifies the differences between "Thinking you know what you're doing" and "Knowing what you're doing"
This is very true, but the opposite of your insinuation!
On other vids people have slaged Ray off. He is an ultimate professional but also makes his repairs simple enough for a mechanical idiot like me to enjoy and understand. Keep up the good work Rsy. It's also quite amusing. Go Rainman.
Best quote… “ being that it’s a Volkswagen it could be any second now”
Truth.
Best comment ever. I had a VW once. Key word, “once” and never again
The fact that VW had that part in stock speaks volumes
That's a very popular engine in mk5
Haha, airflow pun.
That was my thought. Does this part normally fail like this on most other cars? I've had some old ones without that problem. I also noticed the new one seemed a lot softer meaning the old one was brittle- cheap plastic too? Hmmm, the more you know the more you see things and the more you wonder about them.
Yep. It says "we have these in stock because they often fail". That tube plug design looks very frail in nature, so naturally, it fails.
I spent a few weeks in 1968 or 69 doing "industrial experience" for my engineering degree at the Rolls Royce car factory in Crewe, England. Rolls Royce and Bentley owners could drive into the factory to get stuff from the spare parts department. One day a very rare, very non standard Bentley from the 1920s was parked outside the spare parts department while the owner was looking for a new sump pan to replace the one he'd dinged on a rough road in the wilds of Scotland. The car had a non-standard engine fitted into a chassis designed for a smaller engine and therefore had a non-standard sump pan. It was a one-off and made before Bentley was taken over by Rolls Royce. They had the spare part available. As soon as the guy bought it, the spare departs dept. put in a work order to make another one. That's service!
In my experience, the components that break often are often well stocked.
For the tight fits, buy yourself a bottle of, ahem, personal lube, silicone kind. Radiator hoses, intake hoses, even tires go on so much easier. I've used the old Ivory soap and glycerin over the years but this stuff is much better. My master tech buddy revealed this to us. No end of jokes for a couple weeks at least but now we all have a bottle handy. We just peel off the label for obvious reasons😀
Just got the p0101 code with check paycheck light on my wife's car. I was going to buy a mass air flow sensor but decided to watch a few CZcams videos first. She had Walmart put a battery in last week because of a no start in the parking lot, and they knocked off that same line you repaired. Thanks for the info buddy.......you saved me a lot of time and money. Nice, informative video Rainman..👍
Ray you mentioned adjusting the seat to be breaking a rule. Unfortunately at my size breaking that rule is a must. I once got into a bmw and was almost smashed into the wheel because of automatic seat adjustment. This lady was tiny by standard comparisons and I am almost 6.5 feet tall.
I saw a video raised maybe a month or two ago the person that owned the car was so small Ray almost broke his knees on the steering wheel hey what's the difference seats go back they can come back up again but move my seat up too far my car goes faster because I stepped hard on the gas pedal have a nice day
I see why you like you job so much. You get to open boxes of new stuff everyday.
In my “limited” experience with that specific car, the reason you had no cold AC is probably the climate control panel itself. It’s a fairly straightforward repair, but I think the part was about $4-500 from VW. The car lot I worked at replaced them all the time. Customers would get tired of driving around their cars with no AC in the Florida summers and would trade them in. We’d replace the panel and the AC was fine. I don’t recall them having many other HVAC issues. The trunk opening randomly while driving to the gas station…yes. Smelling like a box of crayons when it was 100°…yes. Replacing a $400 sensor that would be $40 on a Chevy…of course. We had an unwritten rule with VW and German cars in general…if it has over 80k…it goes to the auction. Of course, I had a customer who had a mid 90’s Jetta diesel with almost 500k miles on it…it never seemed to break.They’re weird like that.
Ya, 2 bad VW caught with pants @ ankles on Diesel Gate Affair. No longer import any diesel to USA since couldn't pass emissions here anyway. Eventually diesel passenger vehicles will be non existent as their health hazards are exposed to be about like smoking tobacco. Nicotine is useful however . Used in gun darts it can bring down any mammal instantly no matter where it's hit
I hear that VW diesels are easier to work on compare to the gas engines while knowing I'm a diesel student. I have never worked on them before.
@@yanglue611 non commercial diesel engines have joined full auto machineguns as relics. VW ceased USA importation after Diesel gate stunt was exposed. Like Machineguns, that can still be owned, tho limited to pre law production, consumer diesels won't be around in yuge numbers as sales drop and attrition takes it's toll. Fixing lektric vehicles has mo demand and good backup to ICE repairing skill sets.
I got my Vw 1.9 tdi engine code ASZ bought with 150,00 miles on clock,Got rid of when it had 300,000 on clock ,Only had two problems Worn cam lobes on No 4 cylinder, And a misfire Injector no 1 .not firing ,injector loom in head , all fixed for buttons , first shop I went too ,said it needs a injector ,I said that’s funny .you turn it on and off ,and it works fine,they said this machine is a computer and it’s saying No1 injector isn’t firing.I said you know what’s firing ,he said what ,I said you and left , Got my meter out ,and traces the problem,No 1 cylinder injector wire had gone oc checked Internet found out it was a common problem, Same with the cam , quoted £700.00 to replace got one from the breakers £30.00 .3 hours later fixed , These engines last forever if looked after,Over hear Vw are quality.American stuff,is classed as crap.
@@bullitautorepairsmobile4989 Your tale of VW prowess indicates excellent diagnostic and mechanical service abilities. Great assets in 2daz whirled of poorly trained/compensated inexperienced techs throwing parts at failed components til they run again.
I agree with Spenny62. It's not what you DID as much as KNOWING WHAT to do!! Good job Ray!!
The same exact thing happened, at about the same mileage, to my VW Bug.
2006 VW New Beetle, 2.5L, 5 cly, 5spd Manual transmission, hard top.
It threw the CEL after having the air filter changed.
I found the problem in my driveway, after having a heart attack over the cost of a new MAS.
The Mech had broken tabs off while manipulating that same big tube, while still connected to the airbox, when changing the filter.
I had to re-attach that same little bottom hose with zip ties because it would not stay on. Only ONE tab was broken.
I didn't buy a new tube from VW, because as you probably know, it was STUPID expensive.
Years later, I got one from a junkyard.
I STILL have this car and drive it daily. It now has 284,500 miles on it.
STILL has the FACTORY MAS in it.
I has had NO major work done to the engine or transmission, except the valve cover, due to the PCV valve needing replacement, and the thing is permanently mounted in the valve cover.
I made sure they replaced the intake plenum gaskets, (o-ring style) when they did it.
I love this car.
I have 2 of these cars.
My other one is a 2003, 2.0L, 4cyl, 5spd manusl, with 177,500 miles on it.
I just got back from a trip from NY to FL and back with the 2003.
NOT ONE PROBLEM on the trip or since. (KNOCK ON WOOD!!!)
I've the same setup in a Jetta wagon. 270k and runs strong !
That is pretty much the same motor as the Audi Group B Rally cars used.
It would be hard finding anything more reliable.
The VAG ( VW Audi Group ) of cars does have their little quirks, but there is plenty of information on line how to fix most problems quickly and affordably.
Often even an alternative part number from another company.
Look up 2005 Audi 1.8 injectors and you will find Ford used the same injectors in some pickups, which happen to be far less expensive.
@@sailorstu guy across the road had a wrecker there to get rid of it because of an idling problem. Fixed that with a dipstick funnel tube.
For $75 and Everything works ... I'll keep it !
I had a 2001 Jetta with manual transmission, it was my commuter car for 18 years. My son drove it for a couple of years in graduate school. It had over 350,000 miles when it finally died but I never had any major problems. I did always keep current on the maintenance. Really fun little car but my only complaint was the road noise. Don’t think I would buy a VW again though.
The 8V was a great engine, very reliable...only issue was how slow it was.
Duct tape would be a good fix lol. Other mechanics would have sold a load of parts but you just fix what needs fixing which is why I like the channel. Your honesty. Kudos.
Duct tape on an air intake duct?
Who'd a thunk it?!?!
Volkswagen is amazing when it comes to part support. Went to them when rebuilding my 97 gti and they had all the parts i needed in stock for less than auto zone or Napa.
I love that you confirm with data your hypothesis of what's wrong.
You would love it here... -2C when I walked to work yesterday. But it was a warm (+8C) when I biked home today.
As you mentioned having a little luck and skill, you gave me both just this week with my son’s car, 2013 Malibu, it started running rough while he was passing a vehicle, check engine can on, traction control lite up and it idled rough. Had to have an oil change done anyway, took it to the dealer for that and they always plug in the OBD ll vin reader to get accurate mileage and it showed code P0300 and P0303 general misfire and misfire on bank 3. Took it home, and replaced all 4 of them on his 2.0 turbo 4 cylinder and both lights went away and it runs like a dream once again..
So my long story short is with your knowledge and my skill I was able to save some cash and do the swaps myself, for that I thank you for sharing this valuable information the way you do!
Thank you!!😎👍
All your videos are good. Also I now know what a wheel barring is cause a friend of mine giving me a car that has that problem. So yes glad i found your Chanel
You lucked out on this one. You did a fantastic job! Man you are a fantastic mechanic. Signing off!!
Nice quick fix
The last 5 cylinder engine I worked on was in an old Audio 90. That was 20 years ago, then a friend brought me his Volvo wagon with a 5 cylinder, which I turned away and told him to never come back with that.
I had a 2006 Volvo XC70 from 125K to 198K, it had the turbo 5 cylinder. I loved that engine, I did all the work on that car, including the PCV replacement and replacing a worn VVT pulley. I was skeptical about the 5 cylinder at first but I loved mine.
With over a decade of viewing and reading CZcams, your Volvo experience caught my attention for some reason. Can I respectfully ask you why you responded in such manner, or is there a back story that fits but otherwise does not need mentioning in a public forum. Much thanks.
Love the special "cup" on the dash by the turn signal.
Really liking the classic FOB in the background Ray
At 9:30 I spot Prudence the Safety Goat!
Long, long ago, I was one of the "head residents" in an apartment complex. HR got a bit of a break on rent by being available to help other residents on weekends. One afternoon a nice lady range the door bell. Her problem was not with the apartment, but with her old style rear engine bug, which she had not driven for some time. Se said her car was making strange noises. We went out to her spot, where she had backed in. contrary to apartment rules - I said nothing. Walking up close there were, indeed strange noise coming under the front. Since the engine is in the back in those old VWs, I suspected something organic. We carefully opened the hood to discover a family of opossums had homesteaded her car. Opening the hood had trapped on between the hinge and body. We called animal control who dispatched an opossum wrangler right away.
you have change my ways with cotter pins ill never reuse the again thank you
8:11 Truer words have never been spoken.
Good find
good find !
Great catch! I’d be willing to bet that hose looked connected.
The 07k motor is quite reliable. What issues they do have are very minor. It is the same motor that Audi dominated rally racing for years with.
Different engine 👍
You should come to Oregon, I bought my 1.9 TDi in Florida as it was an absolute rarity, came here to see them on every single street.
Most of the interior failures don't happen on lower temperature, all of the headliner damage and stuff that my car (even wiring damage) is nowhere to be found on cars born over here.
Ray, don't underestimate your abilities. Finding that broken connector is definitely a skill. Someone else just replaced the mass air. If it wasn't the customer trying to save some money then it was a crappy mechanic who just try something random, didn't check to see if it worked, charged the customer for unnecessary repairs.
I had an EVAP leak code on my car. I knew to check the gas cap; $10 for a new gas cap was worth a try. The car was 14 years old. Told the mechanic. He just started randomly replacing things in the car rather than measure the existing parts to see if they work. Near the end, he ran out of things to replace and tried replacing the gas cap. I took it to another mechanic. Turned out an old battery was affecting the electrical. New battery and everything is fine. He found the battery issue by looking at the system with a volt meter.
Knowing what you are looking for is worth a LOT. If I lived near you, I'd bring my car to you all the time. Fortunately, I have a good mechanic here in my country.
Stay awesome Ray!
there is always knowledge involved !
Remote start is the best thing made for cars in Florida
A Vw with broken plastic, imagine that🤣
I had a 71 Super and an 07 convertible beetle. The 07 was the biggest POS I ever owned… Absolutely loved the 71…. As did everyone else!
Duck tape. The handyman's universal helper. The perfect material for temporary repairs to keep you going until permanent repairs can be made.
Or zip ties.
About intake vacuum leaks: The air entering through the leak does not get measured by the MAF sensor. It also reduces the airflow at the MAF sensor. That's a double whammy for the accuracy of the MAF sensor signal.
Thank you for passing on what Ray already said.
Kinda, Sorta enforcing ye old Euro " Fine Service Vehicles" reputation
Double whammy? Or the same thing? Unmetered air is unmetered.
The Short Term Fuel Trim should have been pegged Maximum Positive.
Not only is the air unmetered it is also unfiltered
We even another video system on top of the video system LOL great ending thank you Ray for your wonderful entertainment
For a second there I thought I was watching Sesame Street.. 1,2,3,4,5 Five!😂🤣😂
I had the same thing happen, A self tapping screw was all it cost for the fix over two years ago ! (we have lots of beetels in the uk)
G stands for "Geber" (german for sensor) for basically all VAG cars.
The car Gods were in a good mood today
I think the higher MAS reading @ 7:22 was due to an increase in RPM, past the initial 2000 RPM. I believe it was an, 'in the interest of saving time', thing and nothing to do with the diagnosis since clearly there was a leak after the MAS.
VW has one of the best manufacturer parts networks, I've always been able to locate parts for my 2006 Jetta pretty easily.
Like the Disco music Ray,thanks
Thank you ray I always enjoy your videos
Nice catch Ray, This is also a common problem on Hyundai vehicle's too. At least in my experience,as I've had to replace the intake tube on our's(07 Entourage) twice. Experience counts,in a lot of things,as it shows here. Everyone don't forget to remember to have a great day!😊 Greetings from Lake City 🇺🇸🌴😎
Mine threw an engine light and I didn't know the cause then I realized the intake tube wasnt securely fastened I kept tightening but I doesn't want to be held securely I quickly realized the clamp was busted so I went and got an aftermarket clamp and fixed the issue
I have a cold air replacement kit that I haven't put in yet made out of aluminum with an external filter it just got to get my back working hey have a good day
I'm so happy you said unclamping two times =)
"Hit the nail on the head!!!"
That's a good frase for a mug!!
Love your videos. All the way from Norway 👍
Just put a note on the tube that says, "Sorry next guy". Then everything is a-ok. Just kidding obviously.
Good morning Ray
Wife has a '98 New Beetle she drives daily. Engine is reliable enough, but it reminds me of my '73 Spitfire. Everything but the engine breaks often and is expensive. Door components, A/C controls, window/door lock/trunk/gas cover switches, glove box door -- plastic bits throughout the vehicle. I've replaced the driver's side window regulator 4 times in the past 10 years. For the broken off tab thing, I wouldn't bother replacing that tube. It'll just break again anyway, and the part is stupid expensive. I'd just put a hose clamp on it and get on with life, but I'm not doing it for a customer.
You are the best mechanic ever very talented!
There's a few like him in every city. Finding them is the hard part.
70,000 miles and it's already a hooptie. I have a feeling that intake pipe is in high demand, as in they frequently break..it's why it was stocked.
What a great way to start the morning!
I always just keep some rubber cement around to temporary glue things together in such a way that they won't wiggle loose but can be easily pulled apart by the next tech then offer that as an option to the owner rather than having to shell out (and/or potentially wait quite a while) for a replacement part.
Have a great day ray. İt was very easy job for you.
I had one of those bugs. It was pretty common for the engine light to come on. I ended up buying my own ODBC adapter and software so that I didn't waste time going to the dealer to fix all the stupid stuff that broke all the time. Was happy when I got rid of that POS. I love the old air cooled VWs but the new beetle gave me a bad taste for VW, in general. I also started despising VW when they started suing, for trademark infringement, all of the little hobby websites and companies that were selling old air cooled parts, which VW no longer sold themselves. VW can suck it.
Wow that's foolish of them, most ppl I know in the US buying new VW products like them because of their passion for the older vehicles
I had the opposite experience with that engine. 2010 Jetta, manual. Towed my pop-up with it all over the east coast. Phenomenal tow vehicle for a small trailer. Only issue was a vacuum pump which was easy to fix.
As a tech I can confirm they are trash and an absolute nightmare to work on most of the time I refuse to touch them besides maintenance I'd never own ANY vw
My wife and daughter decided they had to have the new beetle in fact we ultimately had three of them and at about five years old they all started having problems. One after another after another and sometimes the same problem again. After a while the cute little bug (s) were pieces of junk.. Now we own three Kia’s and absolutely no problems… Yet
Hitler is rolling in his grave at the abortion of a product line VW has become.
Skill is not finding the problem.. skill is knowing to look for it in the first place
It never ceases to amaze me that drivers accept faults on their car and don’t get them fixed. A failed horn may seem trivial, but here in the UK the vehicle would fail its annual test and could not be legally driven until fixed.
If you put a reflective triangle on the back and say it's for farming use, you can drive whatever you want in FL
Please fix the horn, my brakes are funny!
There are like 10 things that are required for any vehicle. Like wipers and that little white light over your tag etc. A horn is another. Though rarely checked it could get you a ticket.
@@yeahitskimmel LMAO!!!!
Just yell. 😂
It's a car and a big green egg grill, those crafty Germans
Thank you for the video, Ray.
A ACE mechanic at work it makes you wonder who took it off in the first place they could do with a good telling go and get another job thanks for the video CLICK
Always found VW to be ultra reliable (the odd Friday afternoon car) There customer service and parts supply is superb 👌
Good eye Ray. The biggest “problem “ here is the customer “not telling” the service writer, I had this expensive issue not long ago, & was not fixed . Almost like this was a test of honesty ! LOL
I had fun with my Prius yesterday. I had a tire blow, put on spare tire, it blew 4 miles down the road. $150 tow bill.
So you had 2 blow jobs in your Prius. Is that par?
Later version of the 2.5 used in the Audi 100 CD5E. They had a 5 cylinder engine.
A little trick I use to get hoses to fit a little better. WD-40.
Ray from experience. Zip tape or flex tape is your friend when it comes to v.w intakes lol.
MAF or leak.
You called it before even looking under the Bonnet.
That is experience. Bullseye! Right on the money!
Doin great work ray.
... the next maintenance - what can happen at ANY time in a Volkswagen! 🤪😂🤣👍
Welcoming back!
Knowledge not skill. Knowledge is power
good job..the 2.5 vw engine is actually pretty reliable
5 cylinder that's new to me ,didn't know that , its turbo time lol
The old aircooled jobs were fine, I have never been around the brazilian specials
Completely off topic, but as I watching yesterday's video, my wife was listening in and thought I was watching something with Ben Stiller in!! 😅
hated working on my daughters VW beetle same as this one no ac, bad fuse/battery combo connections. no trans dipstick, headlamps are a magic trick to remove and change bulbs.
"When the part is in stock, the failure is common."
I still wish that you would get a break-away, non-conductive silicone wedding band, and I can recommend an assisted opening knife such as (similular to the) Kershaw Speedsafe® with flipper (makes one handed opening and closing very easy) they have decent steel, hold an edge, easy to sharpen, and inexpensive. How would using a screw type hose clamp have worked in holding the plastic tube to the air induction pipe ( if the OE part was unavailable or too expensive)?
'com'on hose' words of a pimp
You know you have a real car enthusiasts vehicle when it comes with a vase on the dash.
good eye Ray
Man it was hot yesterday Wednesday and the day before Tuesday
Good morning Raymond 👋and family👨👩👧👦 from Chicago,🌬🌦 why don't you send us some spring up here? 🤔🤷
( you can even send IT COD😲😳😁😃👍) BROTHER 🤣
Got to Love those 'There's your problem" type repairs.
Or like Eric O would say: "There's your problem Lady!"
@@K.Kelly87 Yep. Watch Wes Work also. I left out the "Lady" part to cover any and all operators of vehicle.
@@tomredmond LOL! Eric O doesn't care. Says it anyway!
@@K.Kelly87 True that.
I am surprised they even had the part. I drove a VW diesel from 1977 to 2010. In my last car, they stopped supporting the vehicle. a 1991 Jetta Diesel and parts became very hard to find and when found very expensive. I Remember getting the last 4 fuel injectors in NA. My mechanic found them in BC, Canada- $ 100 apiece. The last fuel line in the country came out of California, When the alternator bracket wore out, the only fix was to have one frabricated- at that point, I decided that a 30 dollar part at best of VW still made them would have cost me well over 500 to have made, I was done with the car after 19 years and with VW for any future car purchases.
I agree with you Ray about the driver's seat, I have to have it all the way back before I drive. I don't know how some people drive with the steering wheel in their chest😲
Even a tyrannosaurus has short arms.
@@snowlothar45 That's why he is so mean & dangerous. He can't reach things. lol
Psychologists say folks drive that way cause they're scared.......
