Ok I got a question. When checking engine oil on dipstick one side is lower and the other side is higher. Which one do I look at. Note if I turn the dipstick opposite I get opposite of what I started with
Very good advice, avoid this pile of crap
I had a jetta tdi was a very bad experience had it just 6 month had a lot of problem with it
the turbo blown they try to charge me 1200$ for it i scrap it and got a corolla much better experience
I have a question. My daughter has a 2015 Camry with 120K miles. Her a/c (including defrost and heat) isn't working properly. It's standard a/c (not a climate control system). It started off with the a/c going out every now and again, usually kicking back on within 5-20 minutes. The problem started getting worse, and the a/c started going out with more frequency, and then for more prolonged periods. In the last few weeks, it has gone out almost every afternoon (never once in the morning).
Diesel could still be cheap if you can find or make your own biodiesel.
Drive a diesel locally might not be worth it. Best used on the highway on the highest gear
Good job Scotty, not afraid of a VW 😅
Got home from work, and minutes later Scotty has me cracking up!
A gallon of diesel contains 20% more energy than a gallon of gasoline. This accounts for much of the greater fuel efficiency of a diesel engine.
Scotty what is better buying a used car with less miles, or buying the same make but newer. I am looking at 2 Ford Fusion s. one is a 2016 with only 44 000 miles on it, the other Fusion is a 2018 with 140 000 on it, both in good condition, and well maintained.
Volkswagens are just scrap metal. But then, so are Kias, Hyundai, BMW, Fords, etc. Scotty has made videos on the best choices for automobiles. Needless to say, Honda and Toyota are at the top.
