The Humble Mechanic Charles ~ Humble Mechanic

Getting rid of a car is not easy. Selling a car, scrapping a car, donating a car, giving it away are all tough. Last week I donated my 2005 VW Passat to Second Chances Garage. They do amazing work top to bottom. The icing on the cake it the mentorship of automotive tech students. While I am sad to say good bye to the Passat, I couldn't be happier on where she is going, and the impact the new owner will make. #humblemechanic #GEARWRENCHGivesBack

CRP deals in a ton of OE automotive parts. They also make the factory DSG fluid for VW. Having them as a sponsor will give us access to more information about fluids than I would ever get from VW.

I am joined by Mark from CRP Automotive, and we talk engine coolant and antifreeze. What is the proper coolant, how to mix coolant, and what happens when you use the wrong coolant. Since this video was out, VW has had a LOT of issues with coolant. So much that they have moved away from coolant concentrate at the dealers. Now they really only sell premix. That is actually a good thing for customers that buy coolant there. It's NOT a good thing for the shop. You basically have double the waste in plastic containers and cardboard. Well maybe not double since you need to have the appropriate mixing water. But you are basically getting half the coolant for the same price.

Today you are joining me in the 2015 Tiguan for a short term review. There is a lot I like about the Tiguan. There is also a lot I want to like about the Tiguan, but just can't seem to. To me, the Tiguan is 10% away from being an awesome car. After the initial audio from the Tiguan review, I chime back in with more info that has come out since this Tiguan video. There are a few issues that have become more problematic than before. Mostly centered around the engine, CCTA engine code, and sunroof.
