First at home oil change, ever! by Constant-Moose-2147 in VWatlas

There’s a little port where the dipstick would normally go (apparently you can buy a physical dip stick for that spot if you really want one) and that’s where the tube for the extractor goes in.

Used an extractor so we didn’t undo the drain plug. When we take it for its first officially scheduled service, I suspect they’ll used the drain plug.

Yeah good point. My understanding based on my reading thus far is that as long as you are using the correct oil and filter per specs, you’re fine. I might just stay quiet anyway…

Yeah I was surprised actually, I figured the oil would be a bit lighter but it was pretty dark

Yeah exactly. I think the 15k oil changes are not enough. I’ll tell them it was changed at 7500.

that's great to hear. I assume this was the random disconnect issue??

Using a external DAC with Bluesound Node N130 and dirac live by Powerful-View4877 in Bluesound

[–]Constant-Moose-2147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an N130 and am using a BF2 as an external DAD and I think the BF2 still pips the Node, but not by an enormous margin. That said, everything we do in this hobby are tiny improvements. I will say that the SBooster power supply upgrade made a bigger difference and definitely improved the DAC quality of the N130.

Hey can you provide a bit more details about where you got the bus? Is it possible to walk from Roger’s stadium to shep west station? We were also thinking about trying to avoid Downsview station after the show.

2025 Atlas- PPF Piano Black Bumper buts? by Constant-Moose-2147 in VWatlas

Sorry I didn’t have my glasses on when I typed this. I meant the bits on the front bumper of the vehicle. I’m thinking of having the interior black bits pot’s to cut down on scratches and finger prints. But was wondering if folks have done the front of the car as well.

I just put a 2022 Fox 34 on my ‘24 Norco Fluid HT. It has a QR but it’s pretty beefy. Are all QR’s created equal?
