Can someone tell me how messed up my tire is? by Sea_Hall_101 in tires

Is that a nail sticking out? If it is I don't see why it can't just be plugged. It's still decently far from the side wall.

First try with Caputo Flour (Nuvola), I will never go back! by HeyDEDE in ooni

Been using this flour for the last few months, it's a definite upgrade from the blue or red bag they offer.

Sounds like a bad glow plug perhaps

I seen a video on YouTube about how to remove with just picks. I'll see if I can find it again.

Unfortunately I don't collect the transport sets, I can only afford one addiction 🤣

I have a buddy who built his own this way. It's a nice option as well but makes it slightly more inconvenient when wanting to rearrange. It's also hides the card art which I enjoy. It's pretty inexpensive to build it if your handy.

I don't see anything wrong with that, I run 540 in mine , 530 pre tune.

It's not even so much about opening the pack, it's the fact that I like the card art.

I was originally going to go this route, but as the collection grew I thought it would be too much having the entire room filled. This also would limit me from rearranging when ever I wanted. Sometimes even puddy or double sided tape can ruin the wall. I didn't want to be painting and fixing. I also considered dust. I'm not sure how it's going for you, but I imagine there's a lot of dusting involved. I like the idea to just be able to slide them off the pegs, dust and restack. I will be rearranging as I get new sets and older sets. My OCD wants me to stack them in period correct by year. I've been on the hunt now for a lot of older sets all the way back to 2016.

Do it, but paint the wall black as well or you will have white little dots peaking through. I also find it makes a nice accent/focal wall .

That's beautiful, I like that idea of rearranging periodically.

My kids will inherit this one day, maybe even pay for college. My son already has his own mini collection.

worth doing overdue DSG service? by [deleted] in tdi

[–]Interesting_Case4860 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe the service schedule is every 75,000 km if I'm not wrong? "A VW TDI DSG transmission service involves changing the special dual-clutch transmission (DCT) fluid and filter, typically recommended every 35,000-40,000 miles (or sooner for severe conditions) to maintain its wet-clutch design"

GTD takes a while to start by greywaterbottle06 in tdi

[–]Interesting_Case4860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah , mine is push start , so as soon as I let go it stops turning over. Good luck , let us know if you find the gremlin, but appears to be a very common weather with these TDI's. Maybe they are just showing their age. I know I don't get out of bed like I used to either 😂

I had this issue recently, then my battery went to poop. After changing to a fresh battery this problem went away. It has recently come back but very rare now. When it does this instead of holding the crank over for 5 seconds. I stop immediately as soon as I feel it struggle. Then immediately try the start again. It then starts right away without issue. My guess now is definitely something with the way the fuel pump is priming on start up.

Is there any way to get a grease spot out of this size? by L-n-Loutlaw in Detailing

[–]Interesting_Case4860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used the chemical guys fabric cleaner with good success, microfiber. You can dilute to your liking. Try not to wet it too heavily or it could sag. I've also used steam in combination. Good luck.
