it was at 20psi then the dealer reflashed the stock tune in it and it sees about 14psi now the car is getting progressively worse ---

Should see how many pounds it can take! I don’t know why I can see a rod through the hole in the block… Good luck with the next one. They are decent cars. ---

You could probably throw a couple rods out of it and they’ll still say it runs fine. “I don’t see any problem? That hole in the block there? Makes the car go faster, more air in the engine is better. Don’t you know anything about cars?” ---

Yea my truck has been at the west herr collision shop twice now in the past couple weeks to fix a botched paint job that still isnt right. And i was thinking of trading my truck in on something else but it dont look like west herr will be getting that sale. ---

I also had a bad experience with west Herr (Honda in lockport). They made everything right for the most part, but it was Def aggravating Best of luck dude, I didn’t mean to be a jerk about it, just seemed kind of silly ---

> [@Onyx Z32](#): > > _Basil_ is a member of this community… just sayin’ Everyone always has awesome things to say about them, I’m so tired of shit dealerships. How’s there service dept? Northtown VW once refused to sell me a coilpack for my Audi cause they don’t service Audi. Northtown Mazda - 12 o’clock inspection on my mazda 3. I talk to the tech when I drop it off about my passenger motor mount being cracked (common - oil filled - cover by my powertrain warranty) Tech says he has seen them before, common issue, my CPO doesn’t cover it but the existing OEM 60k powertrain does, No issues. Says it’ll be done at 3…Motor mount is easily a 15 min driveway job so blerg, 3 hours for inspection and a mount. I get a call at 3:15 explaining to me it’s not covered by my CPO, never seen this before, possible sign of abuse (lol) So, I mention my discussion with the tech about it being covered under the manufacturer warranty and get put on hold for 15 mins and when he returns only get told the part will get ordered and to set up a service appointment for it and come get my is ready - click. Awesome. I love getting treated like a retard. I’m getting rid of the 3 soon and I won’t be getting anything from northtown. ---

^^^ +1 on northtown Vw parts department being awful. Any time I’ve ever gone in there, which is often if I need something cause it’s 2 miles from where I use to live, they have tried to sell me the wrong part and been very insistent that it was the right part. The drain plug on my passat was probably 1" in diameter. Went to buy a new one snd they tried to sell my one I knew wouldn’t fit, they said “all Vw drain plugs are the same”. I tell them that isn’t true and he replies “well they are and this is all we have, take it or leave it”. After I went to vwop to get the right one I made sure to stop and show them. Same thing when I needed a new blinker housing, I needed one with clear glass and they tried to force me to buy one with yellow glass because it’s what his computer said. I think I know my colors well enough to tell the difference between yellow and clear. Again when I went to buy haldex fluid and filter for my R. I was told they don’t usually stock the fluid and that filters were special order because they “are not necessary to change” (huge lie). The finance guy at the toyota store treated my girlfriend like shit when she was buying her Yaris a few years back, legitimately yelling at her because she didn’t have perfect credit when she was 19. Her score was like a 740 which is decent. So she got up and left and bought her car somewhere else(west Herr I believe and actually had a good experience) again stopping back at northtowns to show the finance manager that they lost a sale. That’s just the tip of the ice berg. Northtowns sucks [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/heres-a-car-to-stay-away-from/218543.md?page=1)
