Warranty?

 

 

Not on drivetrain.

 

probably just out of miles or non warrantyable part

 

Currently fighting with an oil cooler on a 98 golf. Why does a 2 litre motor need an oil cooler you ask? Because fuck my sanity

 

Apparently out of warranty though there was an official thing/recall on gearbox oil that they were going to contact VW about.

102 degrees in RW's neck of the woods today.

The house air conditioning will be set at a comfortable 66.

66 is time to put a log in the fireplace and put a sweater on...... https://www.quora.com/Does-anyone-ever-light-fires-in-the-fireplaces-in-the-White-House

 

 
Does anyone ever light fires in the fireplaces in the White House?

 

 

Richard Nixon loved having a roaring blaze in the fireplace. His daughter Tricia said in a TV interview that even the heat of summer didn’t stop him: he’d turn down the air conditioning as low as it would go, then order a fire to be lit. Since this was about the time that OPEC quadrupled the price of crude oil and Americans were being urged to conserve energy to reduce the hit to their wallets, Tricia’s revelation didn’t endear her father to his fellow citizens. I think it’s very likely that other presidents or their families have used the fireplaces. It’s not as if they personally had to carry out the ashes or chop the wood.

Went thru this with Mrs. Rizzo's 2012 Beetle 'Vert. 2.5l 5 cyl with the 6 speed slushbox, trans took a dump. Bottom line was that after a few back and forths with VWoA they covered about $2'500. Had the trans rebuilt by a local independent trans shop for $4k. VW wanted $7,500 for a "factory" transmission. pfft.

VW is trying to say that the mechatronics and clutch are both gone (which apparently is not as likely to happen both at same time) and the dealership have put in a claim but no promises on which way that will go.

 

Sister also being told it's $7k to go with a 2nd hand gearbox. 

 

She paid $17 k for the car so seems like a pretty fucked up proposition all round.

 

She's getting this fixed and then they will be going with a Toyota.
