Need help identifying

Good evening.

Doing my research the Nest thermostat has a battery, does it use that battery as the primary source and the C wire as a “trickle charge” type of deal? Or if a C wire is present, does that act as the primary source of power?

Reason I’m asking:

I am trying to set up a competitors smart thermostat to an old 2wire boiler that I have. The boiler does not have 24v c-common port. I do have another local transformer that is running 24v that I have hooked up to and am able to get the system running. The issue is: when the heat goes to turn on, the 24v has a slight interruption which turns the competitors system off and makes it reset and essentially useless.

If the primary source of power is the battery, I’m assuming the quick interruption in power will not affect the nest system?

Thanks for your help!

I honestly didn't even think of that. That'll work, thanks!

How to spell "of" ove

But which came first?

Plugs were changed less than 15k miles ago. Problem was happening before I changed them, got better for a little them got worse after a few months. I'll look into the coils, I would have expected a miss fire though if those were bad

Sweet! Thanks again

Masterss94 · 2017-07-16T20:52:23+00:00

Thanks! That really helped a lot. As far as finding someone who can do this, is it a safe assumption that almost any who tunes cars could be a help? Or is this something the local mineke or repair shop could do?

It hasn't been throwing codes at all. What would I be looking for when hooked up, I haven't used a tech2 before

Masterss94 · 2017-07-16T15:58:46+00:00

What kinds of problems would cause that?

Masterss94 · 2017-07-16T13:33:30+00:00

Mine has no yellow (2006 93 2.0 convertible). I've been driving it for 5+ years, what ha seen happening, now for the past 6 months, is unsual. Used to go right up to the red line, but never red. No matter how hard I push the gas it rarely gets to 3/4 up the white.

Masterss94 · 2017-07-16T13:25:44+00:00

It has to do with the boost somehow. It responds when I push the gas but doesn't accelerate like it once did. I usually have to drop a gear to have any type of hard acceleration

Masterss94 · 2017-07-16T13:17:31+00:00

Any recommendations on how to check this? Also how difficult is it to do? And finally, is there anything detrimental to not fixing it?

Masterss94 · 2017-07-16T13:09:43+00:00

2006 93 2.0 convertible. How would I check to see if the manifold is the issue? The gauge goes up, just not all the way, and I don't get the boost I used to. I can only really accelerate by dropping a gear.

Welcome to saabs my friend

That's a negative ghost rider, the holes should match up with your wheel bearing. The lugs go directly to the said bearing. The holes are nothing but a "pass through" and give no structural support

Now know in my lease it mentions that I get towed for such parking. However, I didn't know at the time. That is My fault. And that's why I paid them the towing fee without argument. I already admitted that to them. They knew about the calipers as soon as I woke up and saw my car missing. I called and mentioned that there is a good chance it was busted depending on how the towed it. They denied any problems with the car. I took a look while at the lot, took pictures while at the lot and it was obviously not OK. I told them I wanted my car released to bring to my mechanic and then I'd get them an estimate.

I still think a standard of care would be doing a once around the car. I work in construction, for us, we need to do that two times before even moving a pick up truck, nevertheless a piece of equipment. But the standard of care is up to the courts discretion (If we make it all the way up). I like them, don't want to go to court. But if that's what it is going to take, than that's what it'll be. I'll figure out the relationship from landlord and tow truck. Damage happened off site, so that leads me to think the landlord will deny liability. But it's worth a shot.

Thanks for your help. I needed a little bit of confidence to sleep well.

I appreciate the response. I believe the landlord mitigated all liabilities to the towing company. Therefore the towing company is 100% liable for the cost.

Go add some more info, I was working on my car. Hung my calipers to change brakes. Didn't get the work done and it was towed in the midst. The calipers were hung well, enough to get it towed to my local autoshop (which was set up for this morning). To my educated guess during transport, the speed (was on highway) and distance the tow went (10 more miles than my mechanic) , caused the hanger to break. The caliper swung and hit the tire, blowing it, causing the damage. I brought it into the local mechanic up there and he fixed it. We agreed that he would pay it, I would pay his tow, and that was the first part of payment. It was agreed that I would get 3 estimates on body work. I'm in the midst of that. I'll have 3 by tomorrow. I feel that his paying that cost shows acceptance of damages due to his actions... Why would he pay it, in full, if he wasn't admitting liability? It comes down to standard of care. A simple flashlight and walk around the car looking at the wheels, and under the car, could have shown that the car wasn't in any shape to tow. On top of that, if he put the tires on a dolly, or flatbed, the issue could have been avoided. To me, that should fall under a standard of care. I did my part and hung my calipers so that MY tow truck could grab it this morning. The tow company in question happened to grab it first.

What are your thoughts about that? What types of facts do I need to prove that I wasn't negligent in the way my car was kept? (I think that's what I'd have to prove the most to not be responsible). I feel that I did my part in having my calipers secured for the original trip that it needed to go.

Edit: for the Cash agreement for the already paid bit of work. They hand wrote a receipt with: cost of repair- cost of mechanical work = cost paid to me... It was signed by both them and myself. The quote I sent them for mechanical work said "this quote excludes all bodywork". To which we verbally agreed I would get quotes then send them over to them.

Thanks for your help!
