Ok, need some advice. I have an appointment set for tomorrow at 8.30 am.
My noise is 95% better as of now... it only comes and goes during 5% of my driving, still when it comes on it is very audible/loud/embarrassing.
What say ye? do I take it in tomorrow or go :aintcare: I don't want to waste my time with this shit, they likely won't be able to "replicate the sound".

If they can't replicate it its pointless to go.

I'd wait for it to either work itself out completely or reappear in force.

That.
lol. my clutch on my GTI was SCREAMING but only when it got hot. I took it to VW, they said couldn't replicate it. No shit because it needs to be fucking hot and they let it sit overnight. The next time I took it in, I e-brake dragged it up a hill slipping the clutch a bunch of times to get the clutch hot AF, and screaming when I pulled up. They pulled it around and it was making horribad noises.

Tell me you can't replicate it now motherfucker. Got a new clutch out of that though, nose was something to do with the flywheel, either manufacturing defect or a broken spring for the dual mass system, never got a clear answer on it.

I’m taking the car in today :popcorn: the noise is intermittent and terrible still, you never know when it hits and how bad it’s going to be.

:disgust: I left a little early today and beat a few minutes of traffic doing so.. not looking forward to coming home tonight though. 13 miles usually takes me 45-50 minutes.

If you would have brought him some vape juice you would never know delay for the rest of your Bimmer ownership. Why can't you forge the bond? Why can't you wage brohad? Why Max, why?

Interesting updates. Unlike all you :gay: s that keep people waiting for after hibachi dinners, and being held cuck by the GFs boy toys.

1. SA who personifies the vape life ... actually :member: Ed my phone call... he talked to the “shop foreman” who is “familiar” with the issue.
2. No loaner, no more Uber I’m waiting on a god damn shittle. :notsure: how I’ll get back to the car after

That sounds like my old commute, just 5 more miles and about 20 more mins, depending on when I leave home

So it took... 2.5 HRS to drop off my car and get to my office. The dealershit is 12 miles from my house and my office is 5 miles from the dealershit.

Apparently they have to order some updated parts (new heat shields). No loaner as they are out for 2 weeks. I can either have no car for 4 days or “pick it up”

Car picked up... had to get a ride from a co worker. No repair performed. No loaner, even though there were 8 cars in a bay up front under "loaners" which were "all reserved". So much for that vape juice treatment.
Now I am "waiting for a phone call" for the parts to come in either "Tomorrow or thursday". At which point I am not sure how long that "repair" will take... :wtf:

But my car got a much-needed wash. :jesus:
