Are you in an industry that requires a safety toed boot that won't leave scratches? We see this often in the automotive industry. Here is your answer

Here's how much it costs to insure a Dodge Challenger in 2024.

2015 vw Jetta 1.8t with 90k miles: P15D “chain lengthening” I found amoug many other faults in this customers jetta. Fault P15D - chain lengthening, this fault though straight forward in its description - is a huge red flag for me. On the vw/audi 2.0t/1.8t there is a little service cover, if removed and inspected you can see how far out these tensioners are and a teeth count specification is given in service info. Specs vary based on design but the idea is the same. This one is maxed thus the fault set in the ecm, while I could have placed spark plugs at this 2.0t (30k overdue) Seeing this fault and showing the customer there was a bigger issue at hand is powerful. You can see in this photo the tensioner is fully extended to its maximum position. It’s days are numbered! Judging by limited information, but vehicle condition considered - this vehicle has had little maintenance causing timing chain stretch this early.

Leads TXT 3865076300 1974 BMW 2002tii Project at No Reserve: This 1974 BMW 2002tii is a running-and-driving project that is said to have remained with a single family from new until the seller's 2021 acquisition, which reportedly followed two decades of disuse. Work under current ownership is said to have included fitting the 2.0-liter M10 inline-four with a replacement cylinder head, installing a replacement Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection drive belt and rebuilding the top end of the mechanical fuel pump, and servicing the brakes. Finished in weathered silver paint over blue vinyl, the car is also equipped with square taillights, 13" steel wheels, a Frigiking air-conditioning system, reclining front seats, and an AM/FM radio. The tires are flat-spotted, the brake master cylinder requires replacement, the compression readings are inconsistent, and the seat foam and weather seals have deteriorated. This 2002tii is offered at no reserve with spare parts and a Texas title in the seller's name. http://dlvr.it/TD1bVn Bringatrailer.com #carsofinstagram #carporn #classiccar
