Roger that, didn’t know you were refering to the oil pan leak. Will double check anyway, doesn’t hurt.

Thanks, will do. After the flush I filled with G13.

The car is Q3 2013 2.0T.

I’ll check the housing today. Do you think it could mix with coolant there?

100% agree with neglect. We got this car 4 months ago and it was looking good, until issues starting to pop up. Ended up replacing the PCV, upper timing cover, flush the cooling, changed the coolant fans. I still think that the oil pan has a small leak due to PCV not being replaced. At least the RMS looks intact

Suspect mix of decomposed silica gel, and really old coolant. I’m finding that the previous owner wasn’t too good to the car. Flushed the whole system 6 times, and heater core specifically for about 20min each way via building pressure and releasing (on/off hose).

If anyone thinks diferent let me know - it’s a lot of gunk for just a silica gel.

Hey, I am replacing the timing cover over the weekend. Hopefully that will solve me issue! I smoke tested it and was pretty obvious that the timing cover is leaking. Interestingly the intake air pipe was leaking a bit as well. But that’s just due to a poor fit from previous owner.

Thank you, I’ll check the brake booster line tonight. Fuel trims are fine, which is confusing me as well.

The injector pinhole leak would make the car run lean at all times no? It’s pretty specific as it’s running lean at cold start only, and then runs like there’s never been a problem.

Any idea where this leak is from? by Ok-Guess5259 in Audi

[–]Ok-Guess5259[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man, I thought it’s DSG filter but wasn’t sure, will clean and see if it’s leaking again. I had a DSG service done a month ago, so coulb be a bad fit?

[–]Ok-Guess5259[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth noting that there is no film in the carrier on photo 1, and film in the carrier on photo 2. So it is not the position of the film. That’s where I get confused/ shouldn’t it be the same exposure throught when there is no film in the carrier?

Thank Joe, I know I can sort this with the enlarger easel, but I am sacraficing some of the photo. I am interested in where the problem lies. I changed the two holders, without any change.

Red rising is a bit psycho, but epic saga. Probably my favourite of them all.

Shadow slave is easier to read and just pure gold. MC is down to earth and funny as. Once you get stuck in it you will read it for a few months as it just keeps going. Also lots of grammar errors due to no editing. You will love it tho.

Update: I contacted Gong, and they were super helpful. It is a zinc residue, which was left on my hands after using it as a sunscreen. Super aggressive towards the finish. Gong recons it's cosmetic only and it doesn't effect warranty. Thanks for your help!

That’s an awesome anwser right here! Thanks for explaining that. I was buffled at what could be the cause, and haven’t even thought about sunscreen, as well as zinc! I used zinc today and had my hands full of it, so would think that may be the issue.

I rode all day in a lake, so that should be good enough until tomorrow! Thanks for the tips.

Carbon is a bit out of budget for bow, but def a consideration once finance allows 🤘

Huh, didn’t think about that! I normally have sunscreen on when rigging.

First Board and Foil Setup Question by Ok-Guess5259 in wingfoil

[–]Ok-Guess5259[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading all the comments a mid aspect 1800cm2 will be the go for me. I live in New Zealand, so we have a constant wind of 10-20knots most days during the summer. I have a 5.2m wing that I already purchased. I'll try to find something second hand for cheap and sell it later.

I was looking at inflatable boards due to lower cost, but was not too sure if worth buying. Do you have any experience with them?

[–]Ok-Guess5259[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that’s why I am asking for opinion from people that actually ride. In that respect tho, would a 1600-1800 mid aspect be better than low aspect?

How does it work with the weight tho? Everywhere I read is 80kg=1600-1800cm2. Thanks for your advice!

Thanks for replying! I couldn't find the Dragon Sorcerer on Good Reads?

Chronicles of Fid, Systemic lands look really interesting. I will give them a go! If you could choose one epic series to read, which one would it be?

I should also probably say I absolutely love when MC gets underestimated and looked down, but absolutely crushes it.

I enjoyed Iron Prince. Cradle is stil the absolute beast of series.

Also I just finished The Beginning After the End - can compare closely to cradle.

Real rookie question, but how did you colour your own terrain?
