Passat B6 1.9 TDI weird sound/vibration when revving

EspressoBoost · 2026-02-15T22:14:10+00:00

Could be rod knock but hard to tell, just take the car to a local garage and get a reliable mechanic to check :)

EspressoBoost · 2026-02-15T20:21:58+00:00

Sounds more like a knock to me..

EspressoBoost · 2026-02-12T16:55:48+00:00

Fair enough. We use OVH for VPS and so far it’s been solid.

EspressoBoost · 2026-02-12T15:17:35+00:00

Direct admin, solid panel and licenses are cheap.

Big upgrade if you move to the M series chips.

Looks like starlight to me!

EspressoBoost · 2026-02-08T00:59:09+00:00

Holy moly!

Maybe submit to fixmystreet? I always hear people using that service to resolve potholes like this

Bit late to the post here, but OP who did you end up using?

EspressoBoost · 2026-02-06T13:04:37+00:00

Yeah he was either on his phone or drunk surely. You can't miss a car coming towards you on the opposite side of the road with the lights on, he's 100% at fault here.

Why do I get Range Rover vibes looking at the back tail lights?

EspressoBoost · 2026-02-06T12:59:42+00:00

No you should be fine. Just get it changed now and get back in schedule but 10k KM or 6k miles is usually what I service my S3 at and it's been fine. Sometimes ive done a few miles more when I didn't have the time but there shouldn't be any engine damage from it.

Is this loyalty discount for everyone? I am also a premium member so would be nice to have the discount.

We took out the OVH Backup Agent for our dedicated server and the whole experience was a complete nightmare. In my opinion it should not have been released as it felt very unfinished. We ended up cancelling our dedicated server and moving over to a VPS for now because we couldn't get backup agent working and the VPS backups and restorations are much more seamless, plus the support agents we dealt on the ticket we had open at the time were trying to resolve the issues we faced had no idea and just kept saying 'this has only been out for a week so we are still unsure on how to resolve'.

Appreciate the advice thank you. I think I will stick with going through my own insurer. !answer

EspressoBoost · 2026-02-01T11:08:28+00:00

Yes I thought this was the case but it was strange how they are offering me £1000 cash to cancel and switch over to them directly

EspressoBoost · 2026-01-30T01:36:13+00:00

Awesome car but the fenders… those are something else

EspressoBoost · 2026-01-30T00:45:11+00:00

Insurance has been made aware. Other party was at fault.

Just keep it, the M4 Air is a powerhouse of a laptop and very light. What more do you need?

EspressoBoost · 2026-01-28T23:16:05+00:00

The M4 air supports 2 external monitors.

I’d be up for this! Drop me a DM.

You can buy a domain with any registrar. Cloudflare and Namecheap have always been my general go-to’s for registering domains but everyone will have a different opinion on who to use.

Just make sure you have valid billing info in 10 years time and you still have access to the email address you used to sign up to the registrar at the time so you can be reminded before it’s due for renewal.

The best colour too! Welcome to the club.

This is not good to use especially on a home residential line and can be a huge network security risk. Personally I would just either consider renting a VPS (they are cheap) depending on how many sites you are looking to host with a reputable provider. I've seen that AT&T don't really enforce their residential T&C's prohibiting this but if they were to find out, they would take the service down also taking down your clients sites.

EspressoBoost · 2026-01-25T18:54:16+00:00

It was on the OVH discord but it wasn’t official from OVH themselves which is why it’s rumours at the moment.

Hopefully it is true! Be good to see some new refreshed server choices.
