NWI INGO General Post - Part 11

[unshelledpilot]

Hey all. So I'm thinking about an HK build in the near future. Would there happen to be anyone skilled in the art of tig welding on here? I probably won't get started on it for at least another few months, but it would be nice to have a name for future reference.

Over easy. That way you get to taste the baby bird with some buttery toast.

Yep, this is great weather for doing outside work.

Didn't pour steel all day. That and the nice weather we got the building down to 70 degrees.

Who has experience with Team VW? Good/bad/indifferent?

Who has experience with Team VW? Good/bad/indifferent?

Bought my Audi from them. But of the 3 VWs that I've purchased, all came from VW Orland Park (which also owns Highland VW). When it comes to Team VW/Audi the only work I get done there is WARRANTY work. I only bought my Audi from them because they had what I wanted and I was able to get a very good deal on it ... same salesman who lost all 3 of my VW purchases sold me the Audi. He knew I was not messing around when we were talking price. I didn't get the normal run-around. I didn't get all the back-and-forth bullcrap that I had gotten in the past. He lost 2 of the 3 sales over $50 because of their silly policies.

So basically I am not a big fan.

I've had good luck with the service dept so far for VW. My wife was with me when I bought my TDI and when negotiating my trade in she wanted to walk, so while she and the salesman talked I sat there not saying a word till the end. I told him bump my service to 30K and have them install the front license plate holder then we have a deal. I still got a great deal at 16k for a 15 TDI, but she helped me squeeze a bit more out of the deal.

Didn't you get an aftermarket tune on your Audi?

 

[melensdad]

APR ... it does not void warranty.

Not done by Team.

Who did it?

IF I end up with a Golf R, I would most likely get a ECU and TCU tune done on it.

 

[aclark]

Bob where do you get your service done, highland? Need 40k service this weekend and Team always seems really expensive for service to me. Probably call both to see cost and what they do, but I'm thinking I might try Highland. Team is also very slow.

Damn. Need to put up some wall tile. Borrowed a self-leveling rotating laser level. Shot the marks around the room and 4 different levels. Put a tape measure to it and the self-leveling feature is apparently broken! Now I have marks that are climbing a full inch incline along the long wall. WTF. I was hoping to avoid doing this all manually. Looks like I have to do it the hard way. Damn damn damn.

Glad I found out BEFORE the tile started going onto the walls.

Old fashioned water level. 20 feet of 1/2" clear tube with water in it. Fast, accurate, and cheap.

He really did try hard to make this a quality review.
