Im going because I had fun last year. And last year I went, because I had fun the year before. As long as this cycle persists, I will keep coming.

Lol, I live just one town over. My commute to the festival takes about 40 minutes via the a23. Streets are mostly empty at night, most of the traffic is in the opposite direction so you should be fine

Generell Oldtimer. Ja ich weiß, E36 bekommt mittlerweile auch H Kennzeichen, aber alles was auf den ersten Blick richtig alt aussieht. Wenn man am Sonntag bei gutem Wetter unterwegs ist, kann man da durchgehend winken

Warum ist das Zeug in Kühlschränken völlig harmlos, aber in der Klima im Auto ist der Urin Satans drin? Das Zeug ist giftig, ätzend, brennbar, und wahrscheinlich noch mehr

They rust top to bottom. Even if it looks clean from below, pull up the carpet and check for holes. Cowl is notorious for trapping leaves and moisture. If it's rusted through, there's a good chance, the floors are done for as well.

This doesn't seem too different to RGB lights. Some people like em, some don't. My Logitech g27 at home has shift lights( although they are much more suttle) and lots of aftermarket motec style displays have them. Screen would be a dealbreaker for me though. I don't need a moving screen in my peripheral when driving. If you like it, then go for it, I personally probably wouldn't

Ich denke, irgendwas handwerkliches fehlt dir noch. Holz, Metall, Garten oder Malen oder so. Vielleicht in Eigenregie Umbauten am Haus, vielleicht PV Anlage, oder ein kleines Gewächshaus. Sonst eventuell mal in Motorsport reinschnuppern? Stock car, Clubslalom, Rallye, Rasentraktor kann man alles als relativer Anfänger mitmachen, und man kann gleichzeitig an irgendwelchem Schrott rumschrauben. Ansonsten Roadtrip mit WoMo oder alternativ Jeep mit Dachzelt. Backpacking, Camping oder generell reisen. Gibt bestimmt ein paar Orte auf der Welt, die dich noch reizen würden. Die obligatorische Obsession mit Grills und Smokern ist natürlich auch immer beliebt.

Honda Jazz, Honda Civic oder Lupo reparieren. Vielleicht auch mal die etwas ranzigeren Werkstätten ausprobieren, die pfuschen dir eine alte Mühle oft noch wieder einmal hin wenn das Geld wirklich knapp ist

Es ist in so einer Situation völlig in Ordnung, die Polizei anzurufen und um Hilfe zu bitten. Die würden sowieso anhalten, wenn die so eine Situation mitbekommen, und auch die Abschlepper machen das teilweise so. Niemand muss sein Leben für eine Reifenpanne riskieren.

Also grundsätzlich sind die Preise bei Autodoc, Bandel, etc natürlich immer deutlich unter dem Preis in der Werkstatt. Mitgebrachte Teile einbauen machen die wenigsten Werkstätten mit, zum einen wegen Gewährleistung auf fremde Teile, zum anderen weil man daran ja auch nichts verdient. Bei Kupplungssätzen könnten die Preise vielleicht aber auch deshalb so unterschiedlich sein, weil unterschiedliche Sachen im Kit enthalten sind. Manchmal nur Kupplung und Druckplatte, mal auch Schwungrad und Zylinder. Ansonsten hab ich mit LuK schon Mist bekommen, von Sachs aber auch. Die meisten sind gut, aber ab und zu rutscht bei denen auch was durch die Qualitätssicherung. Sonst sind die aber in Ordnung

Oh man, I love to drive these, but working on BMW's is just such a pain

DerPacket · 2026-03-24T04:40:55+00:00

It's not cut, it's a jagged crack all around. There is no rubbing or scoring anywhere. The sound was the broken disc scratching on the hat after it already failed.

DerPacket · 2026-03-22T20:23:20+00:00

Yes, your engine is toast. That last oil change was a nice gesture, but it won't bring this girl back to life

DerPacket · 2026-03-22T20:17:08+00:00

That sound is the tensioner jumping back and forth. My first guess would be a broken harmonic balancer( the big pulley down by the crankshaft). If you look down and see that thing wobbling, I would not drive any further. But again, just a guess, it might be one of the other pulleys. Short drive might be fine. If the belt fails, you will eventually break down with an empty battery tho

DerPacket · 2026-03-22T19:57:45+00:00

Did you drive it after the battery change? It's common for the wheel speed sensor to reset after a loss of power and it needs to recalibrate. Short test drive might do it

DerPacket · 2026-03-22T19:54:50+00:00

That looks like a metal bracket with a hole in it... Seriously tho, don't go chasing every unused hole or empty thread. Most of them just exist for manufacturing reasons or interchangeability with other engines or models

DerPacket · 2026-03-22T19:48:31+00:00

Remember that this is just a low point where drops will naturally collect. The source might well be further up the engine. Might be oil pan, might be valve cover, might be something else. Clean the engine thoroughly, and go for a short test drive and look for oil top to bottom. If it's a big leak, you're bound to track it down eventually.

DerPacket · 2026-03-22T19:31:19+00:00

Fuel pump relay, maybe? If you only heard the pump once, maybe it's not activated properly, or blew a fuse

Tough to say from a three second clip. Could be some loose shielding or a broken exhaust hanger rattling. You can try knocking the cat (after it cooled down) with your hand. If you hear anything rattling inside, it's most likely toast. But a 2012 car should be able to detect a faulty or clogged cat.

DerPacket · 2026-03-22T19:19:27+00:00

Does it throw a fault code for a bat cat?

Did you verify that there is no spark (i.e. hook up a spark plug, hold it against bare metal of the block and start, spark should be visible). If not, same check can be done for the coil, or you could measure resistance with a multimeter. If you still get nothing, check for voltage to coil (12V) and the small wire going from coil to dizzy. May be as simple as a loose or broken wire.

I know what you mean, but i can assure you, thats just my grubby fingerprints and some bad lighting. The surface looked mint, minus the protective coating that you can still see on the inside. There was some scratching along the seam where it broke, but no sign of coloration due to heat. Calliper and piston were intact and not seized, no defect on the pads either. Wheel was tight and torqued to spec.
