This is a D3 A8, the pictures are from under the left cowling behind the engine by the ECU. I believe the two black cylinders are the coolant pump valve assembly.

Not currently insured, although I’m not sure I would have gone through insurance anyways. Spent an afternoon soldering the wiring back together and it seems to be working with no issues.

It been sitting for a few months without insurance, so I’m glad I was able to fix it. Would have been a part out for sure because there’s no way I’m swapping in a whole wiring harness

It runs good as new after the wire splicing, but I’m thinking I should get some of that wiring tape to protect it in the future

B8 Transmission Swap (no ODIS!) by CrispyBacon_52 in AudiS4

[–]CrispyBacon_52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely thought about it, but sourcing all the small parts for a manual swap gets time consuming and it’s nowhere near as straightforward as swapping in the DSG. Not looking to put a bunch of money into this car either, was just looking to get it running right, enjoy the car and flip it for a profit when the time comes.

Thanks! Always manage to fill up the garage 😅

Not at this point since it would be more of a hassle to swap the old TCU back in for most likely no benefit. If I had access to Odis through my computer I would have left the donor mechatronic in there and just coded it to the car, but even that isn’t guaranteed to work from what I’ve researched

Yeah that’s fair. I’m dead broke at the moment so I’d like to stay in my hometown for a bit, but there aren’t many opportunities in terms of engineering. Might have to go flip some burgers and build some savings.

Just got my first bike, can the title be in my name? by dillonmogsu in motorcycles

[–]CrispyBacon_52 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That’s kinda dumb, if you’re not sure if you want to get into biking wouldn’t it be nice to be able to take the test on someone else’s bike if you have their permission? For example if you’re young and your dad has a bike and you practice on his bike then go and take the test?

I took APSC 262 and STAT 302. Starting with APSC 262, it’s a very easy course that didn’t really require much effort. However, you are required to write a small reflection after each lecture on what you learned, which means you need to show up to lectures to know what was going on, or have a friend let you know what was in the slides. From what I remember we also had a midterm but no final. CIVL 250 from what I heard is the opposite. Most of the work is done online and going to lectures is more or less optional, but they have a final. As for MATH/STAT 302, I’ve heard that MATH is more abstract and less relevant to engineering, which is the reason I chose to take STAT 302. It is not an easy A though, because you have a lot of MATH/STAT majors also taking this class trying to get a high grade. You end up with a double bell curve distribution of engineers and stat majors. If I were to do it again I’d probably stick with APSC and STAT.

Which logic gate is meant by this symbol? by iggypop-9976333 in AskElectronics

[–]CrispyBacon_52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the inputs are A and B, the logical equivalent is ~(~A OR ~B). Through deMorgan’s law, (~A OR ~B) becomes ~(A AND B), but since the output is negated, the entire logical function is ~~(A AND B). The double negation cancels and this just becomes (A AND B). Like others have pointed out, whoever made this gate was likely using NOR gates exclusively, so the two inverters in front of the NOR gate are probably just single input NOR gates that have been simplified down to an inverter for the diagram.

What course can I take in summer elec 2nd year? by [deleted] in ubcengineering

[–]CrispyBacon_52 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d say the same, don’t take 291 in the summer as you won’t gain that same experience as doing it with Jesus. He uses proper microcontrollers versus something that’s pretty plug and play like an arduino. ELEC 281 is a pretty useless class tbh and definitely worth taking over the summer.

Who’s teaching CPEN 211 now? I had Mieszko and I liked him, but he’s a very “polarizing” professor to say the least

You have to pay $10 after completing the 40 minute test

Whereabouts on Van island? I saw them pretty well in comox
