This week on "where's that part" we dive into a 2015 VW Passat TSI in the hopes to find the illusive thermostat. Locals claim it is under the intake manifold. We have been able to find traces of where it lives, but direct access still evades us. Tomorrow we will begin the search again, and with replacement parts on the way, we are more comfortable that our expedition will finally locate it's den, and we'll be able to free and replace this difficult thing. #homemechanic #volkswagen #passat #tsi #exhausted https://www.instagram.com/p/CTMA_4AAuDV/?utm_medium=tumblr
New muffler attached ... a little quieter than before. Added a nice ricer blue chrome finisher since the old finisher was welded on. Added bonus ... this tip directs exhaust away from my bike rack. #homemechanic #newmuffler #mazda5gt (at Whitby, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGf2I4CpTWi/?igshid=1ini7368buqx9
