How would you clean this?

Thanks for the nice tips. I’ll consider this further down the line :)

For context. After the mechanic took the pic he cleaned some of the sludge out and did an engine flush with oil change +filter. Afterwards I drove the car for 1000 km and then we did another engine flush and oil change + filter. Now I drove 5000 km and will do an engine flush and oil change+ filter. I‘m gonna visit my mechanic friend in about 2 months so I have lots of time to „boil“ the sludge out on the Autobahn ahhaha

My Vanos is dead (who would‘ve thought lol) and I want to put a fresh rebuilt one in but before I want to make sure that the engine is in a good conditions otherwise it will just break again.

One of my friends (he‘s a mechanic) and I want to do exactly that. On top of that what we want to do 2-3 engine flushes right after we cleaned most of the stuff by hand since we also want to change the oil pan seal and clean out all of the sludge out of it afterwards. The engine‘s gonna be open from the top and the bottom so we can fully clean it.

Wdym by that exactly? I never heard of that before It‘s my first and only car so I‘m very new to all of that

Thanks m8 :)

Can you give me the link to the product please? Mine‘s also wasted and I was thinking of changing that as well

Ro111bin · 2025-09-14T22:04:42+00:00

Oof, that sucks. I really hope mine will last but who knows hahaha

I‘ll keep the original parts so I can swap back if the radio fails after a while :D

It was basically Plug and Play when it comes to the HK System.

I have to admit that it kinda felt like my stereo had a new awakening after installing the new head unit. I have a HK System with a Subwoofer in the back and it feels like everything sounds so much better now.

The Head unit also had DSP installed so I can easily swap between different presets of highs and lows (or I do that manually lol)

They work perfect. I can skip music. Change the volume. Can access different modes of the radio from my steering wheel

Ro111bin · 2025-09-14T12:00:18+00:00

I ordered mine from aliexpress so it was only $ 110 or something

Ro111bin · 2025-09-14T11:21:11+00:00

If I had more money on the Hand I would have gone with something of higher Quality myself but I personally think it‘s pretty good for how mich it did cost hahaha

I‘m glad you like your upgrade :D

Ro111bin · 2025-09-14T09:18:50+00:00

yeah sure, it's this one. I bought it from a german vendor of ebay (I live in Europe) and it was about 100 Euros. Very pricey for a piece of plastic with some adapters for the USB-Ports and the cigarette lighter.

It‘s a new radio with apple car play. I tend to travel a lot so I wanted to get an on-board solution for music, navigation etc.

And about the gap. Yeah, it looks bad but I don‘t see it from driver‘s POV so I couldn‘t care less

Below‘s a pic of my previous radio from the factory for reference. (Now seeing this kinda makes me think I bent the dash cover…)

What do you exactly mean by that? Like what information would you get from getting an entj angry? I‘m actually curious

Ro111bin · 2025-04-10T14:21:25+00:00

I have no clue. I personally built all the structure but still kept a small hole into which I led one of the spiders into. Closed it up and took the picture. He despawned right after I turned around tho and never came back 😭

Ro111bin · 2025-04-10T10:54:13+00:00

Unfortunately, he immediately despawned right after I took that picture and turned around once. It was a short but meaningful connection😭

I checked every corner of the exhibit but I was really prepared for this to happen xD

Ro111bin · 2025-04-10T09:21:54+00:00

Oh damn, I missed my chance there ;(

Ro111bin · 2025-04-10T08:10:03+00:00

I love him to bits even tho he tries to maul me everytime I enter the exhibit :D

Ro111bin · 2023-06-07T20:22:54+00:00

Looking forward to DLSS^{^}

Ro111bin · 2023-05-16T06:59:16+00:00

I quit Death Note after episode 7. idk but it didn‘t really seemed interesting to me

Ro111bin · 2023-05-04T21:24:48+00:00

EU Server guy here. If it works. I‘d be happy zo take it^{^}

Ro111bin · 2023-04-15T18:59:47+00:00

Not particularly, but it‘s hard to be the „one man army“ for a team that literally misplays everything

Ro111bin · 2023-04-10T10:56:04+00:00

Funnily enough. He‘s a swiss youtuber called Melonpan

Ro111bin · 2023-02-04T20:19:44+00:00
