@BobbyDeniroX 20 дней назад

@@michaelmccann4706 Loads of lady's don't see how much work car showroom workers put in. They think it's run smoothly like a Tesco's store. Car business is manic. Because cars look so well produced with the branding and advertising and sheer finish of such a marvel people's expectations are high but they don't know how much work goes into preparing them for customers. Especially if the dealer is actually any good. The lady's in my family thought my job was a doss about for years just because it was cars I was working with until they started to see how much work we do. They thought it was some joke thing until they see the real levels and standards on TV and RU-vid. People will put up with Josie developments because they accept it's a messy hard job. They don't give that same respect to car showroom workers. As car showroom workers we have to stand by our cars and there is no I can wait for it to get fixed like a house job. The car brand heads are down your neck expecting problems to be fixed efficiently and on time. DIY house jobs people put up with it.

Brilliant, I had one (Mrs has it now) the same a white 2.0 TDI but mine was DSG and full leather, nav etc. The dreaded VW bong of doom i have worked out, between tyres going flat, random phantom canbus bulb out warnings, ABS or pad wear sensors and actual faults - its £150 per bong. But keep it on good fuel, regular oil and filter changes (And DSG every 20 - 30k) they are really reliable and go well. The water / sills are standard and easily sorted, same with the boot area and vents clogged up. all simple stuff. One item to bear in mind for any 2.0 DSG owner is if the temp is low - it WILL be the thermostat in the gearbox and not the thermostat on the engine. Ignore at your peril, or the motors take 50 miles to warm up and we all know where this is going ref EGR and DPF clogging. . . . . Anyway i bet you will get that all day long Matt, they are desirable especially in white and actually really good cars for a Mk6 golf.

My Vauxhall GTC collects water in the doors. The window seals let water in and a design fault doesn't let it escape. The doors are raked forward with the lowest part of the doors at the front but the drain holes are at the rear. Not a problem when being used, as centrifugal force pushes the water out but my car stands idle for weeks at a time. I don't really need a car but on rare occasions, it does come in handy.

I had a 1.6tdi version of this in grey and can confirm the sills probably need emptying from the drain plugs, bit of a design flaw. The other thing I noticed in your video was the bloody noise the windows used to make going up and down, my wife used to be so embarrassed to operate the roof in case the neighbours heard the window squeaks 😂. Mine needed an egr valve at 60k miles but apart from that was solid.

@mishalchotai4721 23 дня назад

What plant cures stinging nettles? Dock leaves and stinging nettles grow in similar habitats. There are a few theories as to why dock leaves appear to help nettle stings. The most plausible are: the cooling sensation of the sap evaporating from the affected skin can relieve some of the stinging sensation.
