Saturday I heard a metallic bang under my truck, pulled over looked everywhere found nothing. but the suspension seemed different under the weight of the camper Sunday evening I did find a screw in my new tire so I went to the tire shop today. They found what made the bang
Broken airbag mounting bolt, new set on order.




got home went to move the Volvo, check engine light is on so I drove it around the block and its running rough. it goes to the shop tomorrow.

Nothing better happen to the damn Jetta

In hell. Welcome!
Sounds like my old volvo. Running rough == either a bad coil, or a throttle body issue, or a bad MAF, or a burnt ECU, or a vacuum leak, or something entirely different. :D

(yes, I experienced them all :shakefist: )

I don't wanna talk about it. Tranny rebuilt three times, then it turns out engine troubles. You know what it costs to replace spark plugs on an F150 (and no, its not a home job)
Close to $4K this month on the rig.

Jeez. It took you guys like three weeks to notice it was shut off.

Actually, I forgot to remove one of the entries so it was only mostly shut off.

I can somewhat sympathise with the spark plug issue. I saw a friend of mine spend half a day replacing them all on his, but I forget if that half a work day included the plugs that broke off in the heads..
