Im at the dentist and the wife calls. She bottomed out in her VW JETTA and noticed oil spewing out. Appears the oil pan cracked. Trying to figure out how to make this prob go away. PITA

New oil pan, I believe they make a kit now to keep this from happening. The job SUCKS replacing it… If you don't have a cool head, I'd suck it up and pay the dealer to do it. Sorry man… Guessing it's the TDI model?

I know multiple people that have had this happen… My sister in law did it on her way to see us last year from Maine. I had to go get her and couldn't get that POS on the fuggen trailer without going to buy boards. I was able to get it swapped out for her myself…but you could kiss my ass if I was asked to do it again. I don't think I'd do that job for $5,000! Well, maybe in this weather. It was hot as a mofo and the damn skeeters, when I did it for her.

Yeah man. Im not taking that shit on unless i have too. Got some barn yard mechanics, but even them dudes could agree and get in over there heads. Been down that road before. We'll see how it shakes out. Im just glad she didnt keep trucking. Got lucky that it happened a couple hundred feet from where she was parking, or that engine be toast. I gotta make sure to take care of business the right way. My truck is beat and we need a reliable ride

I should be thankful to be with family and have a full belly. Listening to some of the nonsense at a family gathering though? Oh man. Control your damn kids. Too many people in too tiny a place.

I feel ya phil. One of the wife's uncles which I am not fond of, decided to start yelling at me about hunting. The table I was at cleared, I was the better man and just stopped paying attention to him. He kept going like a little fugging yapping ankle biting dog. I was real close to losing my cool and knocking his crazy ass out. By then his wife drug him outside. Guess that's the last time they will be seeing me.[emoji6]
