Thanks fellas, I was thinking the OEM manufacturer took the guess work out of having to engage the compressor when the slider was in defrost mode when no AC button present.
I have noticed that my Passat TDI works better in defrost when I engage the AC button.
So...
So your “figment” thought about pulling the ladder out from under you and just admiring the wall art! I love it!!
My grandma and grandpa made it to 53 years. Grandpa fell, broken hip and pneumonia set in. Grandma lived another 18 years!!
Wife and I married at 32, so I’ll be 84 at 52 years. I...
That’s exactly what I would do, drop the front shaft and go drive it.
If shakes persist, then reinstall and drop the rear shaft and go drive it, if still persist, then scratch your head....cause I’m not sure what to do about the slip yolk in the transfer case if the front half of the rear shaft...
As far as Wally, I check it everyday for mice. Killed one in the last week. It is empty, vacuumed and has 6 snap traps set, 2 peppermint oil balls and is resting in the shade to keep the sun off it, and the tires.
I’m still working on landscaping and my Passat wagon.
I refer to mine as monsters :rotflmao and I often call them the neighbor kids and ask them to go to their home when they call me dad....:dunnocookoo
On a different note, does having the AC button allow you to engage the compressor in defrost mode?
Does not having an AC button still engage the...
Oh, I’ve been using the Payday candy bar.
My rat trap, which has killed 10 mice alone so far, just went missing. Prolly hooked to some chipmunks leg or tail.
The squirrels don’t seem to bother my house none. But the pack rats and chipmunks I use my grade school .22 with quiet rounds in them...
I have the PB bucket setup right now. They drown in 20 yr old dexcool!! I caught 3 in 2 days. I used a tin can so they can claw the metal.
Imma gonna try those electric traps.
In the last 4 days I’ve killed 4 mice and 2 chipmunks all at my front door.
My van is empty, 6 traps set, 2 balls of...
I like these. Square, hefty, and I actually use a larger hose to pour through so nothing is necked down.
And in a pinch, they will hold 6 gallons.
Buy once cry once. I have 3 of this kind and 4 of the self venting bubbling kind. While those work, the VP jugs are worth it.
Oh, may not help you, but on the snap traps with the plastic yellow piece, I grind down the top of the metal on a grinding wheel to a point. It becomes pretty hairy at that point.
So many great suggestions here!! I think @Old Goat takes the cake for rodent infestations.
I thought I had it bad.
@Cubey the traps still work, but they have gotten smarter around them. You have to change.
Run the traps perpendicular to the path of travel. Always put at least 2 together...
Thanks for the info!! I did not know. Heck my ignorant behind didn’t even think of that.
And it looks like R12 and R134a are non flammable according to the Google machine. So why would they start using flammable refrigerants now in newer cars?
@KansasIDI i was wondering if I dare ask about the tool box on its back!! Glad you did it @XOLATEM
I’ve been mad before and my boot has upsided things of that nature!! 3 hours, you work fast!!
I’m talking above my pay grade here. But might wanna consider HFC-152a vs a R134a conversion.
FFW this video to 20:30 seconds and he goes through it.
He finds it works well (5-15% better) vs the 134a in old R12 designed systems.
He also mentions early in that video, if you feel a...
Parts 1 & 2 for a longer watch. But goes through it well and why. I found them very informative. Just trying to help with old R12 stuff.
The videos say they don’t work, but if you click “watch on YouTube”, they work. Or they did for me.
Did you check your vent temps?
I like this guy......
He gets 38F vent temps on a 90F degree day at idle. He uses HFC-152a (compressed air cans) refrigerant cause its properties closely match R12.
Give me a break, it’s an IDI at least LOL
I fired the van to move to a shadier spot. Fired without issue, R12 still very nice.
I need to fix a leaky return line. Parts ordered. Just gotta make the time
