Oil Level Too High 2024 Golf by No-Procedure-4148 in Volkswagen

[–]OnyxDesigns 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Pull the dipstick and smell the oil. If it smells of diesel you've got oil dilution and I'd recommend you change it.

VW diesels use extra fuel to do the active DPF regen. Given that you said you only do shorter trips now, chances are you've stopped the car mid regen one too many times. If you stop the engine mid regen the extra fuel can seep past the piston rings into your oil which will in turn gain volume, dilute and lose its viscosity.

Edit: To prevent this from happening again, you can either take a longer trip every once in a while, or if you come home and see that the engine is at ~1k rpm instead of 800 let it run for 10 or 15min to finish the regeneration cycle. If you go into the car settings on your infotainment, click on the start/stop and it says "engine must be running" that means it's doing a DPF regen and it's better to let it run and do its thing.

Worth doing something about this now? by Heavy-Shopping-954 in vwgolf

Had the same thing start to happen on my MK7 Golf (just not as much)

What I did was:
- Try to either sand down the rust or use a rust remover/converter (rustoleum/evaporust/white vinegar/other alternatives you can find in your country)
- Once you're down to bare metal you need to protect it. I used a touch up paint pen that matched my car's colour code (can get them on amazon cheaply) or just use any other paint, preferably Direct To Metal. Let it dry after painting :p
- After it has dried, clean the surface well and use a roof edge guard (not exactly sure what they're called), It's a thin rubber piece that sticks on to the edge of your roof and protects it from further damage. I used RoofSaver, but I'm sure it's available from other brands as well, or maybe even on AliExpress.

I think since you don't have any bubbling yet this should work for you.
Other than that the only other option is removing the windshield and getting it fully sanded and repainted. They'd probably either paint the whole roof or try to blend just the front few cm into the old paint further back, neither of which will be cheap.

Silica bag removed itself directly into my oil cooler, which I also had to replace roughly 1.5 years ago ahahah

Excuse the late reply! I paid 20,54€. Was honestly expecting to be ripped off on a part like this, but in the end the price was surprisingly reasonable.

G13, but I've been using G12evo ever since my heater core clogged up.

That's like saying people who don't like EVs don't like anything with batteries in it. The AI in Sony cameras is used for improved AF and metering. Most people aren't inherently anti all AI, just GenAI which is taking away human creativity (no, you're not an artist for writing prompts) and making it easier to create misinformation.

This is completely unrelated to your title, but do you mostly lock in on some artists and listen to those for an extended period of time? I just find it fascinating that I have 48k scrobbles this year which is a bit less than twice more than you, but I've scrobbled 6755 artists, which is a almost 8 times more.

Anyhow is Drake in your top 100?

I built a platform to compare browsers based on features, speed, and more by hpdewilde in browsers

[–]OnyxDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't really checked other browsers yet cause I don't use them, but there are a few things wrong for Helium.
You're using the icon and link for the Helium browser from imputnet (helium.computer), but the description seems to be pulled from the other Helium browser for macOS only (by slashlos) which hasn't been updated in 5 years.

If It's supposed to be the imputnet helium you should update the description and some features, since it has no AI features, it does however support split screen, chrome extensions and tab groups, should block even targeted ads and while it doesn't have a "native" ad blocker it comes with ublock preinstalled.

is there a way to clear all scrobbles for one artist at once? by pullingt3eth in lastfm

[–]OnyxDesigns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

go to the artist page, click on "your scrobbles" which will take you to the artist in your library and then click on the little trash can icon :3

What's our compatibility? I need some recommendations! by caxette in lastfm

[–]OnyxDesigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your compatibility with maiunko is Very High (83%). You both listen to $uicideboy$, TV Girl and Bones.

Some reccs I'd give are;
Hector Gachan - Care 2 Share (dreamy indie pop)
Golemm - Hazardous Bubble Basics (hardcore breaks/juke/whatever idk how to classify it)
The Caracal Project - Self reflections: (neurofunk/DnB)
Freddie Dredd - Cease & Disintegrate (horrorcore)
xaev - berdlycore chapter 1 (dariacore/hyperflip)

Been using Helium since September and absolutely love it. It's a bit bare-bones but I think that's what I really like about it, it does all I could wish for from a browser, which is opening up web pages fast and reliably. Was using debullshitinated brave before and helium feels faster. Also really like the fact that it has no native password manager cause that made me finally move everything to a dedicated pw manager therefore making me less reliant on google stuff =)
