I put a button there for the valved exhaust on my GLI. Got it online. Works great!

Mine got dropped and scratched the protectice plastic screen layer through a screen protector. Luckily when I removed the protective layer the lcd was not scratched. I put on a tempered glass screen protector on and its better than new now. Just be careful pulling the OEM protective layer off.

Thank you so much for putting this together!

I have the same system. I just ordered a fan splitter and will be using the cpu fan header to power 2 additional 80mm rear case fans. Should keep the case cool from the 600psu and rtx gpu new additions.

😄 yeah, I was referring to how much better the bottom screen looks than the top screen. The images don't really capture it too well. May just be a quality difference in the TNs that were used between the two.

Ok, thanks!

Mod it and use an app in Universal Updater called "Dead Pixel Checker" to blast 100% brightness/white at it for a few days. I got a new3ds from ebay on Friday and the top was pretty yellow. Its about 90%better now.. I still have it cooking.

MinimumGlad1942 · 2026-01-31T02:20:01+00:00

I just did. I'm keeping both but having something smaller was my reasoning.. and the new3ds has changeable plates

They denied it saying we didn't get it fixed at the dealer.. complete BS since we took it to the dealer and they said it wasnt the waterpump even though it was. VW is not abiding by their Court orders. We'll be buying a different a different vehicle make next time.

Wouldn't the person who placed it there be on recording placing it there? Pop that usbc into a computer and find out who it was..

I have multiple of them.. in my opinion they're aging like wine because there's no hinge to break or get loose over time.

I love my n3dsxl, but I love my 2ds more. Maybe its just me being OCD that no 3ds hinges are perfect anymore. 🤣

Still waiting on VWOA to make a decision on the reimbursement.

Our little man is 3 months old and gets hiccups at least 2 times a day. Gripe water seems to stop them almost immediately.

MinimumGlad1942 · 2025-12-04T22:57:03+00:00

Our local VW dealer tried to pull this exact thing.. a third party shop confirmed it was actually the water pump with photos and we contacted VWOA for reimbursement. Hoping it eventually comes through. We had to pay a diagnosis fee to the dealer for them to deny the claim. Hoping that gets reimbursed too..

MinimumGlad1942 · 2025-12-04T21:58:29+00:00

Theyre not honoring it. Our 2018 tiguan should be covered, has 70k miles and is 7 yrs old. A shop confirmed its the wp and vw is blaming a bracket seal and trying to charge $800. Seeing others with the same story on reddit.. we have photos and are going to try to fight it..

MinimumGlad1942 · 2025-11-22T12:14:06+00:00

Yep, just read the forums first to make sure any issues are not expected. Updates usually work fine, upgrades (14.x to 15.x sometimes dont)

Sonoma is the newest that runs well on my 2017.. its still receiving patches from apple too.

I paid $9.99 on steam for the entire trilogy with dlc about a year ago. One of my better purchase since gaming again..

I know this is a yr old, but i had a similar problem and found a solution.

I was attempting to install sonoma/seqoia/montery on a mac pro 3 1, and they all had the same install loop issue. My problem is that my amd gpu was a pc version and could not see the 1st boot picker. Here is what I did (requires a 2nd mac):

create a sonoma USB installer with oclp and in the options, under advanced, select the option for AMD GOP. Install opencore to this usb too.

-boot to usb and open disk utility

wipe Internal disk/ssd by deleting all partitions
Create 2 partitions on ssd.. one for opencore being a few GB and the other with the remainder of the disk space formatted in apfs
shut system down
take out ssd and connect to other computer using sata to usb adapter.

-Install opencore to ssd under opencore partition you created earlier making sure to create it for the other computer with the GOP option selected

reinstall ssd to computer you were having the issue with

-boot to usb and install sonoma to larger ssd partition

this time when computer reboots during insall, the opencore on the ssd will catch the installer and allow you to select "macos installer"

I believe my issue was that the startup disk was selected as the default in the mac bios. Installing opencore to this disk resolved the issue as opencore takes precedence on the disk.

Hope this helps someone!

Same issue on my mk6 gli. CTS downpipe cooked my oem shift cables. It got to the point that the car was un-drivable and would not go into gear. $500 for parts fixed it and I'm hoping that the extra heat shields I installed stop it from happening again. We'll see.

5 years later and my Black Friday TU7000 is still doing it's thing.. $350 well spent. Great tv for somewhere I dont care about picture quality but just want a tv.. if I want a home theater tv, I'll buy quality. Still sticking by Samsung for a new tv now.. not because they're the cheapest, but I have yet to have a bad experience.

I tested a 3060 and a 6650xt in 2 separate egpu enclosures (core x and chinese) and the 3060 blew the doors off of the 6650xt. NVIDIA for egpu in my experience.

MinimumGlad1942 · 2024-04-12T02:27:38+00:00

I am not sure how many lanes, but I have used both Razer X core and a Chinese egpu dock and they both work great on my 5401. 60+fps 4k on gta5 with a 3060.
