that amp was sitting in water
I think it was swapped
Water is bad enough but salt water is the real killer, after Sandy there were thousands if not hundreds of thousands of cars destroyed between NY and NJ they were all parked at an abandoned airport on long island, no word of what became of them.
salt water damage
Somebody is making side money. I am a die hard VW guy and habe seen this a lot in my life of buying Volkswagens
The last time I bought a car from a dealership was a 1996 Pontiac Grans Am GT.
It was from a flood car that was trashed
The driver had prostate problems and peed in the amplifier.
Most likely a swap. Water damaged cars are pretty easy to spot, especially to someone knowledgeable.
I think your Jetta was flooded.
It was probably swapped.
That was a swaparoo
yes that was flood damage
Obviously, switched for monitory gain
Doubt the method will ever be known
I do all the work on my car and truck to prevent shenanigans like this from happening to me
Or being charged for a phantom problem
There should be laws against that sort of behaviour.
I bought an '02 Express 3500 from a NY State auction. Ran and drove fine, was cheap. It sits a week, we get a cold windy rainy day, it won't start, it does start but stalls, gauges going nuts. Long story short computer had water in it. It's on the left inner fender. For whatever reason this one got a lot of road salt in it.
Just this year I had to replace another weird thing in the same area, the nut on the radiator tank that holds the oil cooler in place. I discovered it partially rusted away while changing the oil lines.
It even started for me on a low battery at -5'F, it hasn't been all bad, but I had to farm out the computer and it cost way more than I'd wanted to spend plus the shop screwed me telling me the one leak it had would be okay then failing it for NYS inspection because of it, so more money up in smoke.
I'm looking for a new one, this one runs okay but I want to get rid of it while it's still going.
A flooded car no doubt some one change it
Guessing slim shady swapped it out to sell on to another shady dude in a pub? Stolen to order I think is the phrase. Would love that electric jack, I don't even have a manual !
This shit is unbelievable. You can't trust dealerships for shit
I need that amp.
Possibly driven through deep water or left windows down during a storm ….or spilled their super sized coke in it… lol.
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
YOOOO. WHAT IS THE WEBSITE U USE. to look up parts oem prices
Definitely flooded. However. I have seen car amps that suffer a circuit failure that leaves a pretty ugly mess. But this one most likely water damaged. btw there is no reason at all why you can't replace that amp with an over the counter generic car amp. I have no doubt you sorted it out properly. Neat power jack. That would safely lift my Miata. I am going to shop for one. Nice video. Thanks Sam.
It's possibly corrosion from rock salt… if the back passenger had snow on their boots. 😁 Or just maybe that seat was a replacement from another car.
This guy is as bad as that dumb fuck tavarish
Someone sold the part! Lame
Definitely looks swamped.
My 2016 GLI was broken into the second night I had it . The car had only 25 miles on it . It filled with fain water and progressive refused to repair it . They pulled the car around with the broken glass on the seat still a check for 1k and told me to fix it .
I did it
dealer swapped it!
Yet another reason I NEVER buy from dealerships. The only time I ever made the mistake of buying from a used car dealer, I ended up with a truck that was missing the guts from the front differential.
I suspect the seats were removed too. That’s why the wires were cut. They didn’t bother with the connectors because they were corroded too perhaps.
I think your right someone did the old switch a roo maybe mechanic needed it for himself or a friend or the money .
