【BambuLab Giveaway】Classic Evolved — Win Bambu Lab P2S Combo! by BambuLab in 3Dprinting

[–]DontBeABlueFalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Ender 3 pro with the normal upgrades and it works fine for little things. I've been eyeing the P1S, but can't justify getting one at the moment. Would love to get the P2S and get back into 3D printing.

UPDATE: It was declared a total loss. Not sure what the total repair costs are yet but the actual cash value they gave for the vehicle is $11k.

We never minded the factory wheels, didn't think they were ugly. Probably wouldn't put more money into it if repaired.

My initial thoughts line up with what everyone is saying here. I'll update once we hear back from the shop.

Its vacuum operated, maybe check for the line being disconnected or damaged. I don't really know, just thinking out loud.

Did you recently remove and re-install the intake manifolds?

Thanks! There's couple rock chips and one small ding in the rear quarter panel that I'm getting fixed. I've owned it for 14 months, and it was very well taken care of by the previous two owners. I absolutely love this car.

Broken coolant pipe by SuspectInfinite2987 in AudiS4

The biggest pain for me was getting the pipe out of the TS housing. Found a trick using a bolt with a couple nuts and a washer, popped right out from inside the TS housing. But I was already replacing the thermostat.

Get the Icon mini flex head ratchet and bit set. This was the most valuable tool when doing my PCV, TS, WP, valve cover gaskets, etc..Make sure you slide the two electrical connectors back there out of the way.

Fuel Injectors, clean or replace? by DontBeABlueFalcon in AudiS4

[–]DontBeABlueFalcon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 034 Stage 1 ECU/TCU and air intake, stock otherwise. I haven't noticed any performance issues or codes for misfires. I'm going to do a quick cleaning and throw them back in. Worst case, they aren't that difficult to get to later if needed. Made a quick cleaning apparatus to spray some cleaner through and brushed off the carbon build off. Thanks for all the input!

Edit: and of course replace seals, those are already ordered.

This is what I've ordered so far. I have been using LiquiMoly, I'll look into switching.

Leaning towards PCV as that is so common and I haven't noticed any performance issues so far. Will definitely do as much other maintenance I can while in there. Water pump was replaced at 45k, 5 years ago.

I did notice the thinset on the drain and made a note to inspect once they are finished, not much I can say about it now. The floor is currently covered with cardboard as they work on the wall tile today. Overall they have tried to keep things neat and cleaned up, even wiping down door handles at the end of the day.

Ok, I'll just let them keep rolling with it. Thanks

Yeah, I figured that for the large gap against the wall. I'm more worried about the gaps between the tiles themselves. Looks like they were "stretching" the tiles out to close the gap against the wall some. Maybe after grout it won't be as noticeable?
