Great video! Thank you. 73 PA5BAS

Would this also work if I’m ON the grid too?

Great information; very helpful! Definitely worth the slightly longer video format.

I am impressed and learned a lot by your meticulous planning of a long trip.

*…..BIG DOWNER: BLOCKS XM RADIO Antenna Signal….correct??????!!!!*

Should twist the chains to reduce the slack instead

most car manuals advise not to polish the instrument cluster because it removes anti glare which will cause it to be highly reflective and disturbing when driving. What about that? I mean if the scracthes are very minor and only visible under certain light, why bother causeing such a big modification to the glass?

Glad you know the what a diplexer is, a lot of hams don't no the difference! (they would call it a duplexer)

Geeked out to the max!!

I think the spec are 8NM and 45 degrees, so that's 1/8 turn. About to do my pan shortly, just shopping for the gasket now. thanks for the video.

Do you know if this upgrade works for the mk6.5 gli sel with the fender mib2 6.5?

Just put anti seize on the hub centric😊, Not the hub face, your rims will come off easily every time even in the rust belt.

And change the cap. And the termostat

Check the pipes. Is one pipe in front down

Americans confuse the ability to tolerate neglect with reliability

2013 gti owner, bought used with 44k miles, 118k now. Have only had one issue, a coilover failed, essy fix. One of the most reliable vehicles I have owned, just starts and runs every day. Burns some oil which is to be expected for this engine.

that the reason why i bought gti 7 clubsport u can go fast when u want it 10 sec its plenty ok for me and its cost same as a casual golf 7 😂

Also where the heck can I buy the Dongle?

Volkswagen New Zealand is making it absolutely impossible as they can't seem to compete with the USA and RSA priced quotes. The price here in NZ is unfortunately more than double. I am now left with very little option other than to consider a custom system instead. In New Zealand the VW branch in Christchurch charge US$ 975 for the Helix. :( Sad Any recommendations, I am all ears. Great content as always, thank you.

You are like a dad, explaining good stuff. Thank you for the help.

That’s commitment to ham radio! Love it. My wife would not let me do that.

I love how you start your tuning at the lower end on your privileges. I always have to be really careful, trying not to go outside my band.

how did you mount the fire extinguisher in the back?

Hello! For some reason, the pressure in my 2019 vRS crtdi octavia increases in the cooling system! According to measurements, there is exhaust gas in the cooling water! Water does not boil, but it leaks from the expansion tank! Pressure test shows no holes! No bubbles in the expansion tank! No oil in the water! Egr cooler replaced !Control, thermostat too! But the error is there! Do you have any tips? Thanks

I am concerned with drilling holes into the frame of my vehicle for the tow hitch. I own a 24 Carolla hybrid sedan and would hate to deal with rust down the road when I eventually sell it. Was that a concern for you?

Will the resinator reduce some power ?

Just discovered your UA-cam -- Planning to dive into 2024 VHF Contest June 8-9 with two-element 6m Yagi, at home. Would be interested to see if I can join the Crabs Net--will try as soon as I get the Yagi going. Good luck with 2024 VHF Contest. de W3GX FM9vb Shenandoah Valley, Virginia.

Some Mods can make sense but never financially. Increasing longevity can mean decreasing stress. You can decrease stress by making the car lighter. How can you make it lighter ? You can either get rid of stuff like rear seats (loss of function) or you can replace parts by lighter parts. Those are always more expensive. The car designer already made sure you are getting the best product for the best price. Or you don´t care and buy those super expensive carbon fiber rims and racing seats and what not.

My VW Polo 2010 with 220.000km also still works. However, the timing chain has elongated and I got lucky that the engine didn´t blow. I chose a base model with 60HP without a turbo so less parts can brake. The catalytic converter is also done this year. Besides that everything is fine. So cars like anything else can last for quite some long time if you take care of it. However just this week I have bought a Toyota Corolla Hatchback Hybrid. I love this car. And I will be selling my trusty 14 year old Polo.

I've had 12 VAG cars... didn't regret any of them, even our 2004 Touareg which had low ratings but we had it 14 years without problems except pretty much the first year.. Even after 220k miles, only did a drive shaft, fuel pump and alternator.

Woo hoo , you're spoiled ! ;)

Curious. Did you have to choke the Tunematic cables/control cables? If so, how did you go about it? This looks like an awesome controller. I might get one for my ICOM 7100 as I'll be buying a tarheel soon.

Does any one know how to fix this Volkswagen Golf GTI trouble code B10CE00 climate control

I bought my 2015 GTI during the pandemic I’m in nyc found it in Texas since everything was on lock down decided to take a ride out 25k miles $9900. it sat on their lot for 9 months it was tuned mildly and loud so people kept passing it up. I pulled the trigger nonetheless drove it back stoped by a muffler shop on the way and added a silencer til I got it home. It was supposed to be a daily but having previous VWs it was only a matter of time because I changed everything after selling my b7 RS4. I enjoy your channel and whatever I had doubts on your channel has gotten in depth with whatever problems I encountered. Thanks

Thank you so much that was extremely great info!

Hi…Enjoyed the video very much, just a small problem, Im based in the UK and these are sold on Amazon UK .Unfortunately there’s no info on whether they are made for right hand drive cars so can the top part be reversed?, I am looking to purchase the AutoExec AUE27004 which has the IPad mount encluded…I intend to use Yaesu FT710 with this desk …any help would be great ,thanks…Steve de M7GWJ

Thanks for the information! Unfortunately for me I moved to SV9 land years ago and unfortunately Renault does not do I. Glass antennas for their car radios. They choose to mount an antenna towards the back center of the roof. I have used STI-CO ANTENNAS in the past for law enforcement vehicles. They are very expensive at over $300 which includes a special diplexer that allows you to add VHF UHF and your car radio antennas all into one. They even have a GPS version. At a standstill since all materials must be imported and the issue with that is they charge 24% VAT tax on everything including the postage! Very illegal in my book. Have to wait for relatives to pack the items and bring them over which saves on taxes. So now we sit and wait……

I have a 2003 Jetta TDI wagon with a 5-soeed stick. I bought it new in January 2003 and it now has 410k miles on it. I had a new clutch put in it, and several sets of tires along the way, but the drivetrain has been flawless. I did change the egr valve 2 times over the years, and it did carbon up at about 365k miles, requiring a new intake manifold. I rebuilt the suspension at about that time, also. Every 100k miles I have the timing belt serviced, including water pump and tensioners. I had a couple of wheel alignments done over the years. The motor and transmission have never been touched. The car gets around 45 mpg in mixed driving, and I have gotten up to 53 miles per gallon driving on long trips. It is the most dependable car I have ever had, and I have been driving for 60 years. PS I have used Amsoil in it since new, changing it every 5k miles. I just hope it keeps going, because cars cost so much now.

Good video! 👊🏻👍🏻

I put 144k on my 2009 Jetta Wolfsburg 2.0 T. It was not fun though. Replaced throttle body, PVC valve, gas cap, main seal, and the fuel line got a hole in it. The oil pressure sensor finally needed replaced and that was the last straw. I had probably 8 CELs. I don’t think I’ll ever own another. The car was great but the engine was crap.

The more deep I get into this rabbit hole the more fascinating it becomes!

Stats say you're wrong. Way off. Toyota has an 80% reliability rating. VW comes in at 62%. Source: Carwow 2020 article by James Allen. Wasn't hard to find

As you were saying that you could evacuate quickly with all your radio gear. I have seen your modular antenna setups and I know you said you don’t have everything on there at once most of the time. What do you have on there antenna wise for daily driving? Would you need to attach more antennas before you evacuate? Is it a fast process to fit what you need? I really like your setup, very neat and well executed 👌 Cheers from Western Australia.

I consider my 2019 Jetta reliable even though I had to replace the gas tank, 2 days, free vw atlas rental, under warranty. Now 5 years old so new battery, $450 and front brakes, $380. I am another Sarah fan and she nailed the review of the Jetta. 46 mpg on my first highway trip to Atlantic City and back to Philadelphia. 6 year warranty thanks to dieselgare. 2vws on 10 least reliable consumer reports, jeeps 10 and 9 Jetta #8! I agree with you.

You must stick out like a sore thumb, cruising down the road with all those antennas sticking up

They aren't reliable, its a fact, why would anyone say otherwise if they were great, my friend has vw jetta, new purchaed, and is constantly going to dealer for repairs, its under warranty, but he's sick of it, sure you may be lucky to have a good unit. But usually they aren't.

They have this reputation for a reason.

No anti-radar missiles? Maybe a jammer?

I spent $500 for the 40k major service interval (iridium plugs), 5k oil changes. 2018 Jetta 1.4 SE 5sp now with 69k and a double warranty (6yrs 72k). Warranty fixes: dry coolant found on radiator seam (replaced radiator), oil leak (pcv related), drivers seat heater. That's all. I hate ethanol so I run ethanol free 91. Expensive? 39.1 mpg avg since day 1. Zero oil burn. I go to an Audi.VW specialty shop that uses Liqui Moly oil. Recently bought Rain-X silicone wiper driver side (Bosch was made in china, not buying it). Summer tires are Conti Extreme DSW, excellent in rain and rated at 168mph so I can do cloverleafs at 40+ if I want to. Winter tires are Michelin X-ice. Temp engine mod is Liquimoly Speed Tec for a 0.1 tune :-). Been on 1,000 and 1,500 mile road trips. Wanted to outrun a thunderstorm so I set cruise to 83 from Colorado towards Minnesota. Really like it so far, carplay needs Apple certified cable, Biggest gripe: the other drivers.

Nice and explanatory for newcomers. Good job 73
