Hi Neeta, is it a V6 or a V8?

If it's a V6, I've found a video that might help:

Seeing they disappeared straight after the first post, one could safely say, a one post wonder
They're really annoying because you go to the effort to help them and then they never reply back...

I generally look at the time of their first post and the time they log off.....When they join and log off within a 10 minute time frame, you can almost (and that is an almost) guarantee, they'll never come back....

I’ve discovered, and it’s a fairly recent thing, that regular forum users actually get annoyed by posts that don’t hold information of some sort, like niceties and thankyous and stuff like that. They see it as noise in the signal:noise ratio. I personally think they’re insane & have it backwards, and maybe the onions on their belt need adjusting or something; but apparently it’s a fairly common attitude.

But when you go to the effort to help them and they don't reply back on whether they've fixed the problem, it's pretty darn annoying... I personally think you're the insane one as you don't seem to get annoyed when your time is wasted by these 1 post wonders...

I can’t disagree on the insanity call … :) … but maybe it’s because everything annoys me, that this doesn’t annoy me as much as … I dunno, stuff like the infamous courier red-card when I was at home …

I suspect these people have the patience of a Millennial, they didn’t get an answer which resolved their problem within 3 hours so took it to a mechanic.
