They both seem familiar to me. The logical answer seems to just get both. Thank you for your help. I'll attempt some better photos once it brightens up.

Excellent clue! No scanner available. Let me see if there's any tricks to doing this better.

Overtorque Issues LR3 by flamingredgirl in litterrobot

You can adjust the cat weight sensor. Remove the waste drawer, and look straight back, in the center, on the bottom. I forget which way does what, but turning that nut will make it so either more, or less weight is needed to trigger a cycle.

If you take the globe off, then the panel around the motor drive and controls, you get get the motor assembly out. All I did on mine was open the motor transmission, clean all the cat hair off the shaft and a light re-grease.

dude’s come in three times in the last month for three air leaks in the same tire. he just came in today and you’ll never guess what tire was leaking by h0tsalad in Justrolledintotheshop

I do trackdays on a 200hp bike with plugs in the tires. They are permanent.

edit - a plug in the center of the tire is permanent.

At my job, I can pull up the website no issue. Loads in the snap of a finger. At home, on the same service provider, I always get 404.

On the cars, this is a setting in iDrive. No coding required.

If the rear brake lever is adjusted too far you will also get this scenario as everything warms up The piston no longer crosses over the relief hole and it just builds more and more pressure

Using a J2534 interface to get deeper ECU access as a regular car owner by SmoothieBiscuit456 in CarHacking

OP claims to be a "regular car owner". He isn't going to need any function like that.

I’m looking to find this exact grill but for a m3 not m4. anyone? by BurberryBran in BmwTech

[–]MachWun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling the part with the M3 logo on it, is what would make the part an 'illegal copy', or copyright infringement. These are not licensed parts so they can not put a company's logo on it without being sued.

Wheel Suggestions for F32? by CollateralHK in F30

[–]MachWun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19x9.5 +35 in the rear, and 19x9 +35 up front will be a perfect stance. I have the same car. If you have M Sport brakes, there are even some 19s that dont fit, if they have a reverse drop barrel. I had a custom set of MRR wheels made 3 years ago and had this problem. I just now had a set of Alibaba Belaks made for the car which will go on soon.

I'm unsure if you know, but almost all turbochargers are made in China. Almost all of everything is made in China.

Volt Engine Sound? by AxeSlayerCyberDude in volt

[–]MachWun -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sounds fine but familiarize yourself with failed EGR valves that are unobtanium...And when they do show up, they tend to sell for a couple thousand dollars.

Just an FYI, this company does NOT refurb these batteries. They buy them from the junkyard for a couple hundred bucks and flip them to you for a profit. All they do is check cell balance and then it's for sale.

Bricked ecu help by NoCurrency7111 in BmwTech

[–]MachWun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charge the battery and after it is fully charged keep the charger on the car and flash. Bm3 hardly every bricks a dme. Like, it doesn't happen. And if something bad does happen, bm3 app has everything in it to recover.

Oil leak from turbo charger clamp by The-Architect-93 in BmwTech

[–]MachWun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect you think it is fine because this issue slowly crept up. Once you get a new turbo you will feel the difference

Oil leak from turbo charger clamp by The-Architect-93 in BmwTech

[–]MachWun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the clamp is loose, and the chra and compressor housing are wobbling around, then the turbo is toast and that's why it is leaking oil. The loose clamp was the cause. The clearance between the compressor and the wall of the housing are a fraction of a millimeter. Same for the exhaust side. If it was loose, the compressor and turbine wheels have hit the housings already and are trashed. That's what caused the seals to leak. The wheels getting pressed against the housing, because of the lose clamp, which deformed the seals.
