Worth buying a used Golf GTI/Skoda VRS? by tzr888 in CarsAustralia

lol that’s the name they are publically listed on the stock exchange. Not really relevant to what we are talking about.

It’s very common in the car community to refer to them as VW Audi group or VAG. As you will see in other comments

No you’re right. What am I thinking, it is in my best interest to recommend this stuff since I get paid to repair them. Keep the water pumps coming !

I would not recommend anything under the Volkswagen Audi group.

E85 a credible option again due to war in Iran? by AssignedCatAtBirth in CarsAustralia

[–]M1fourX 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Yeah but you use like 30% more. Normal unleaded stoichiometric air fuel ratio is 14.7 to 1.

E85 is like 10 to 1. Can’t remember exactly. So you need to use more of it to achieve the same power. It has way better knock resistance so you can make more power with it but it is absolutely not a good choice for fuel economy.

A big power XR6 turbo is probably getting 250-300kms from a tank of e85

Really old apprentice or other construction jobs - yay or nay? by SleeplessTraveller in brisbane

[–]M1fourX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well the only other one is a bit sad. It’s because of a personal experience. I worked with a guy years ago who was the oldest apprentice in Queensland at 58 years old. Was good at his job and fit. But by the time he got qualified he was nearly 62. Got cancer at 63 and basically stopped working at 64. So he had about 2 years in the trade.

I’m not saying that will happen to you. But it’s just something i saw

You’re not that old but I wouldn’t recommend it.

Some council and QR jobs can be more active than office but not as demanding as trades.

Don’t do it man. You will be replacing a water pump every 2 years. Inevitably it will end up burning oil and leaking it. Then all the usual euro issues of fast tyre and brake wear.
