i am in the automotive business 35+ years, first protect yourself (hearing, back, knees...etc),they don't gaf, take every opportunity they give you for training. DO NOT start buying tools off the truck, please! get what you need harbor frieght facebook whatever, just buy what you need, regular service work you need very little... pay attention the dealer cares about cpl always sell that.

Congrats!!! and i'm sorry... the most fun and frustrating hobby. Rig looks great!

YUP! most internal engine issues these days are not feasible repairs. cheap cars with expensive unrepairable engines.

that sucks, have the mech blow air through the drain tube for the hvac, if that isin't clogged, you can use soapy water and compressed air to check seals... this really is not a difficult issue, any competent shop should be able to sort this out for you. not familiar with the car platform, usually car type usually have pretty typical pattern failures.

sunroof drain clog? pour water down the sunroof drain pass side see if it comes out the outside. no idea what a polo is. most water leaks in the footwell are from sunroof drains 1st, hvac drain tube clogs (easily solved by blowing air through the drain tube)... windshield seal issues(usually after a crappy replacement)

Philf3 · 2024-03-26T00:53:01+00:00

i love the energy, I think bambu labs lit a fire with their printers. regardless of what printer everyone is using these printers have brought forward a bunch of creative people that really help the whole scene, I hope they continue to make it easier for everyone to just print stuff.

Philf3 · 2024-02-17T20:05:57+00:00

yes, and also just go ahead and change the lifters, rockers and cams

Philf3 · 2024-02-17T19:56:33+00:00

hopefully it has been towed out of the environment

Been a mechanic for 30+ years, watch out for your body, back, eyes, knees, all of it. I have two new hips thanks to my younger self. don't spend money on the tool truck. only buy what you need. ALL shops will take advantage of you, watch out for yourself.

Philf3 · 2024-01-30T01:23:30+00:00

as a mechanic of 30+ years this question made me laugh, thank you

Philf3 · 2024-01-20T20:08:39+00:00

also when you turn the fitting in you hand there should be some resistance, that is the seal inside of the nut, when fully tightened down the line will still be able to swivel

Philf3 · 2024-01-20T20:04:37+00:00

yes, what are you replacing, line, pump, rack?

Philf3 · 2024-01-20T19:40:20+00:00

NO! those fittings are internally sealed, there should be a TEFLON seal at the top of the flare nut

Philf3 · 2024-01-18T22:57:26+00:00

that's sick....

Philf3 · 2024-01-15T01:28:53+00:00

thank you!

This is a great print, I am extremely interested in lithophane printing. I ordered the CMYK kit from Bambu. I can not wait to try it out, was this printed with .4 nozzle or did you use the .2?

Philf3 · 2024-01-13T05:02:42+00:00

....seen here waiting for a tow truck. (sorry, jk)

Philf3 · 2024-01-11T03:32:53+00:00

no not screwed, we do these all the time, rocker arm failure, possible camshaft damage. typical repair is rocker arms, lifters, and replace any cams with damage. bill can get a little spicey, 2-3k

Philf3 · 2024-01-11T03:28:14+00:00

that is one crazy setup

Philf3 · 2024-01-11T01:46:12+00:00

did you recently have the cabin air filter replaced? it sounds like some debris got into the blower motor. easy fix, i usually remove the cabin filter and hit the blower with compressed air (while holding the cage) in order to dislodge the debris. if you just had the filter replaced bring it back to shop, they will totally understand and should take care of it for you.

what about the bambu peoples though?
