Latest updates on Ford, Toilet and now the VW
As I mentioned earlier this week I had to take care of an issue with the Ford and the first mechanic I dealt with. I called them and told them what was going on. They asked to see the car one more time, with me present, to go over the coolant issues (diluted coolant and…
