Happy Monday everyone. As you know, Mondays are the show where I take your questions. To get an automotive question answered on a show like this, email me Charles(AT)humblemechanic(DOT)com. Be sure to put “Question for Charles” in the subject. In addition to taking your questions, I have a few announcements.

Garage Update
I have mentioned before that we are finishing out the shop/studio. It is the reason that I moved the studio into the house. Well this past weekend, they ran all the electrical wiring. Next week they are coming to do drywall. I will keep the updates coming, and I can’t wait to get back into the garage. There will be a few new additions to the show after that move.

Sponsor of the Day.
I am also very happy to say that we have a new sponsor. CRP Automotive has joined up to help sponsor the Humble Mechanic Podcast. 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 really excited to have them as a resource of information. I even sent a question over to them for a more in depth answer.

Join me today as I answer:

  • Getting a key other than at the dealer
  • Issues with 1.8t Beetle
  • How VW coolant temperature sensors fail
  • Display for car’s vitals
