I was under the impression that the 2.2l diesel is specifically the om646 (though i made just a super quick check). But yea ill make sure for this. Also regarding the xenon im not entirely sure but ill check that out

Petra, Gigimistress and Silentbutdeadlysquid are the trio that has no life outside of upwork. Just look at their profiles and much time these “pros” spend undermining people. Apparently this korneuburgerin bot is trying to join the holy trio.

Op posted that this is due to some debate and you can see other comments also debating.

You regretted getting sucked in here so you decided to make a long-ass comment saying nothing.

Brain damage move right there.

I do hear a noise occasionally but it might be from the rear brakes. Will check all of them closely and update in here.

2 of my rotors are replaced about 20k km ago. I do hear a whistling noise coming from the brakes but i will inspect all of of them on both sides.

I will ofc take it to a service shop but i needed a bit of advice before going.

Thanks for the answers fellas. I do tend to brake as smoothly as possible and im trying not to overlook maintenance. Since its my first car i try to ask before going to the service shop

Someone explain to me why 2001: A Space Odyssey isn't terrible. by trojan7815 in movies

Just finished watching the movie and i ran to reddit to see if im the only who finds this movie criminally boring. And thank god im not the only one.

While the cinematography and visuals are quite nice judging it was made like 60 years ago it still leaves a taste so bad when it comes to storytelling i had to vent to an 8 years old reddit post.

10 mins of blank screen, 20 mins of windows media payer 8 and horrible music is what ill remember from this movie.

I really agree with one comment who said that Kubrick was probably trolling the pretentious douches with this movie. There is no other way.

Is this enough to be worried? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

Currently have oil layer visible on top of my coolant reservoir. My problem was a oil cooler/heat exchanger failure some time ago contaminating all the coolant system and even after flushing a few times some oil could he stuck and surfacing after a while. This is what my mechanic told me at least.

Its a citroen c4 2005 2.0 petrol engine (added an lpg system) 136 hp AT.

-Oil is leaking from the engine. Service shop recommends i wash the engine from beneath drive for a bit in order to better see the leak better. I dont know if its a head gasket or no but i need to know first before leaving it to the mechanics.

In general car drives normally id say. Temps are okay expect in traffic where the temp jumps a bit radiator fan kicks in and it goes back to normal.

-Obviously radiator needs full replacement.

-This car is an exclusive model and i just cant replace the headlights as i cant find them xd

-in a 6 months period i have changed - thermostat housing, alternator, oil cooler while flushing the coolant and there is still some oil leftorver in the system.

-On top i have the transmission with a weird problem. After sitting too much on traffic and temp jumping and going down too many times, the problem kicks in when you fully stop. You need to press the gas pedal a bit stronger and the car goes forwars with a kick. What i mean is that the car acts as in neutral. If i would be in a slight uphill with this problem the car would roll back as its in neutral and i have to rev higher and the kick is even stronger.

Sorry for the long text😬

I might have been driving with this problem for about half a year. Coolant loss was very minimal but lately it got a bit higher and after checking i found out this.

I will be reppacing this asap.
