same reason he has the ball gag man....
One thing I learned is that I am never buying a VW after seeing his blow up. If I ever get out of the city and need a car, I'll get a Honda.
I think anything under :crang: ownership will deter anyone from buying. My GTI has been perfectly fine and I have 65,xxx miles. :sawce: has had his GTI for 150,000 miles with no issues before he traded in for a :jeep:

:iono: if you do proper maintenance and have common sense, unless the car is a complete lemon, you can't do shit to fuck up the car.

Yeah, but hasn't the car been issue plagued for a while now? Sounds like a lemon or the shop continues to fuck his car.

Got it.

So call the dude and find out the latest on his car and post it. Or tell him to get on here and let us know what's happening.

Negative. Most of his problems have been dealershit repair fuckups or possibly toon related.

I tried Whatsapp since he doesn't text like a normal person. No response since last night. Hoping he didn't drive the car to work in this blizzard. That would be a whole bunch of NOPEEEEE.

Dude, anything mechanical and touched by human hands has the possibility of :nuke:

A Honda can just as easily blow up like :crang: car. Point being, don't tune the car if you don't NEED it, and don't be a moran when it comes to maintenance and repairs. If I were :crang: I would've had them look at it before leaving when it first threw the codes.

Well, I was meaning it seems this VW was having issues for a while. Could be a lemon. Legal remedies regarding the lemon law vary by state. I more so mean maybe it's just time for Crang to let the car go or give it another go with a different shop.

Hello everyone. Sorry, I've been working from home and was on a call all morning with a customer.

I spoke to the manager yesterday afternoon and told him I was not paying anything, and that my car left with a check engine light. I guess they opened the car up, they just sent me a video of it. Apparently, my exhaust camshaft broke off. That is the issue. Not the engine! I don't know much this will cost. Before I call them back, is it possible that the fuel pressure issues caused this?

Camshaft is typically in the engine. Right where those valves are situated. Did a chunk of something fall into a bearing during the cleaning? :popcorn:
