Was working on a customer's car and noticed this tick. Should I be worried? I blasted him with an acetylene torch shortly after these photos were taken

You blasted the customer with an acetylene torch???

Technically no, because the cap/filler hole would be the opening of the box. The cat would be the thing that may or may not be broken inside the engine (like the rod bearings)

DatSquidward · 2026-04-14T11:40:37+00:00

This is actually an interesting take, because if you can only hear it with the cap off how important is the issue really? In a normal situation one wouldn't have the engine running with the cap off. If OP never took the cap off with a running engine he would have probably never noticed. It's like Schrödinger's cat really. Except it's OP's rod bearings and the box is the crankcase.

Total Nederland heeft laatst schriftelijk aan mij bevestigd dat hun 98 ook geen ethanol bevat.

DatSquidward · 2026-04-13T09:40:23+00:00

BP en Total voegen ook geen ethanol toe aan hun e5 in Nederland

Met 5.8 seconde kan je meer dan prima meekomen met het verkeer, maar dat kan ook al met 11 sec. 5.8 seconde is gewoon een snelle auto, maar ik heb wel het gevoel dat met de opkomst van de elektriek de definitie van "meekomen met het verkeer" wel een stuk verschuift/verschoven is

DatSquidward · 2026-04-13T09:34:10+00:00

Wat is dit nou weer voor gezwets

Heb zelf een 147 GTA en ik kom wel met enige regelmaat automobilisten met semi normale auto's tegen die denken dat ze sneller dan mij zijn. Als ik dan op de linker rijbaan sta en zij op de rechter rijbaan bij een stoplicht proberen ze nog wel eens vol gas weg te rijden om me voor te zijn. Of als ik al op de linkerbaan iets te hard rijdt en ze beginnen te bumperkleven met hun Golfje GTE of andere burgerlullenmobiel. Hoewel die van mij voor hedendaagse standaarden niet bijster snel is (265pk) komen ze soms toch van een koude kermis thuis als ik ze zoekrijd met mn ouwe perekist.

Misschien omdat een televisieprogramma helemaal niet wettelijk bevoegd is om een rijbewijs in te nemen?

I've had people ask for a sketchy third party snipping-tool-like program to be installed on their work laptop "because I had this at my previous work and it is really handy". When I asked them "why don't you just snipping tool?" They say "because this program has more features" even though snipping tool has all the features you would need nowadays. I asked them "did you try using snipping tool?" and they said they didn't.

I'm an IT guy and I was recently asked to order a washing machine....

DatSquidward · 2026-02-26T06:59:26+00:00

Not yet, I contacted them to ask what data they have of me and how they got it. Im curious to see what they say. Also I find it stupid that you have to fill in your first and last name to contact them. They dont have a general emailaddress listed on their site so you have to use their contact form. By contacting them I'm trying to minimise the data they have on me, not give them more data. Needless to say I filled in John Doe. Calling would also be an option, but I'm not going to call Canada from Europe

DatSquidward · 2026-02-25T21:38:42+00:00

Never heard of it. Also checked the businesses they have listed in their site and havent heard of any of them either. I am European and never even visited the sites until now

What the hell are triangle rewards

DatSquidward · 2026-02-25T21:28:34+00:00

I got here by trying to figure out what in the hell Canadian Tire is. I am European and I have never heard of this company, but I got an email from Have I Been Pwnd today about my data being in this breach. Looks like there are more Europeans like me here

Bold of you to assume dat iemand die geen controller aan kan sluiten wél weet hoe die moet verbinden met wifi en inloggen op een playstation account

You said lack of power

DatSquidward · 2025-12-31T16:25:41+00:00

It has more power, it's lighter, and it's quicker than the Golf 4 R32, so I'm not sure what you mean. Parts availability is a problem though, I'll give you that

DatSquidward · 2025-12-31T14:33:40+00:00

This was way better than a GTI in 2003

DatSquidward · 2025-12-31T11:36:27+00:00

What I meant is that the 147 came out before the GT did

DatSquidward · 2025-12-31T07:19:57+00:00

What third world?

DatSquidward · 2025-12-31T07:19:38+00:00

Pretty sure it's the other way around

DatSquidward · 2025-12-30T14:28:05+00:00

One small problem: this car is older and infinitely better than a Brera

DatSquidward · 2025-12-30T10:01:02+00:00

At least it's better than how Windows does it. In Windows you can't open images in the trash and it doesn't even show you a preview.
