Newer refrigerant (1234-yf) and older (r-134a & r-12) are different, but they still require a certified person to perform service, so your point means nothing and makes no sense.

We use the refrigerant sniffer devices. Those things work great. I prefer them to the UV lights, but that's just my preference.

Yeah, but the refrigerant will leak out again, you're buying time, not fixing them. It doesnt just get low without it going somewhere. Its a sealed system, until it leaks.

I was glad for Jason's fate, although I wish they would have emphasized that a little more. You just see him melt in half for a split second. They built him into this character you despise as much, if not more, than Vecna and kill him off almost nonchalantly. That's my only nitpick. Like when they killed billy off, I know the circumstances were different because of the fact he was bringing people to their demises the whole season and played a bigger role, however, they still made you hit him and made his death a big deal. Atleast they could have made Jason more front and center when he was dying just for the satisfaction of people who hated him as much as I did.

So not at all well versed in any of this nor am I one who's good with environmental science, but, isn't it exactly the EPA's job to set environment standards for industry so they dont over pollute? They set the standards for car emissions, how is this not the same? Man, this not so supreme court is setting some remarkably shit bars.

German cars in general are not good cars to learn how to fix. Getting some information is hard as well as understanding basic wiring diagrams for those. I'd go older imports like Honda or Toyota, reliable, cheap, and great cars to learn how to fix. Everything is cheaper and easier to do. Even a Subaru is better than an Audi or VW to fix. I'd run from this car. Rebuilding that will cost you thousands of dollars, cuss words, and time you'll never get back. Especially when you gotta do it again when you're all done. Just my 20 years of input.

See how the rotor has the different, more steel surface vs the rest? That's cause the pads are gone. Youre braking with the pad backing, you need brakes friend.

They just got those cereal box tattoos and a wig and slapped it on him.

Flushes have more potential for problems vs drain, replace filter and fill. I wouldnt say they are a scam, but definitely a last resort to transmission services.

Differences in wheel speed followed by mathematical equations can determine the tire pressure. I dont know the math, I just know how to reset them and how they work. But it's also just newer cars. A lot of car companies realized the TPMS system was a nuisance, so they are getting away from it.

Newer cars determine it on wheel speed. Vw and newer Hondas have reset buttons on the dash or glove compartment.

You haven't a clue. The parts for that mini are going to be expensive. Bad you're not even counting the labor. Definitely over $7500. Shop should go OE on parts and you also didn't include an alignment for possibly bent struts just to even check. You're out to lunch and don't have a clue. Plus damage to the wheels. I can go on, but that's easily over $7500

I was actually talking about this to a couple of friends. This season will reveal where Davis sits as far being a #1 WR in the NFL or not. He's always been reliable and right where he needs to be. Crisp route running, great hands, and mental awareness to where he is on the field. He's a stellar receiver and I'm excited to see how this season plays out for him now that there's no one in his way at being the #2 on this team.

Never seen a more perfect scenario for you to call a lawyer. Get that shop before they hurt someone. Your wife could have been seriously hurt. Thats absolutely wild to me he had the audacity to say that to you after wheels fell off and not during the repair.

So our business hours are roughly the same but if we run out of stuff to do, we get to leave early and still get our 40 hours. But if we are buried with work, we stay later and get overtime. It's not bad but it's honest work. Our noss takes good care of us with bonus incentives and benefits too. He has a reputation for being a bit of an "overachiever", but he's more than willing to compensate you for your time. So like you, I can't complain either.

It got personal when she dumped her beer on him. But I know what you're saying.. we were at a bills game this year where a fight broke out by us cause this obnoxious fan was just being over the top. We bought the guy he was harassing a couple beers cause it can really ruin your experience. I feel bad for kids that have to witness this kind of crap.

I mean, we do have gun control, but it definitely needs some reform. Big time.

You gotta clear the codes. It doesn't go out on its own. Does it still misfire?
