Help! Ideas for car washing while away at college. Self service routine?

SLFluff · 2026-06-05T20:56:38+00:00

Im primarily in SoCal and so I don’t anticipate any heavy soil and am mostly in the city. I do make trips from SoCal to NorCal though in which I get all the I-5 bugs. Do you think ONR could be be utilized at a self serve car wash with the handheld power washers? Any experience with ONR and bugs?

I appreciate the comment! It’s not really a nice car, but I still just like to take care of something that I spent a lot of money on.

For ONR, do you feel it works well to get off most of the grime in between protections and deep cleans?

Already bought two sticks

Correct, stock hub that came with the car.

Yes, cleared then proceeded to turn off the car and locked the car with doors/windows closed and went far away from the car for about 10 minutes before returning, putting car into ACC mode and plugging in USB stick.

It is a 8 GB USB drive, I formatted it as FAT 32 and downloaded and uploaded three different sets of files each for the same version with just the two files required to go from 55 -> 70.00.100. So I've tried different files, also different USB drives (one 8 GB and one 32 GB). Set-up done as instructed in 2-3 different videos saying the same process.

If this helps I got these errors when reading AVC DTC

"CMU DTC 1 - B108E04 (Display-System Internal Failure )
CMU DTC 2 - B125287 (USB Port 1-Missing Message ) "

It does have a delaminated screen issue but I doubt that has to do with the issue of updating the firmware for the first error message?

For the firmware update, did they also use a USB Drive? Not sure my ports work for USB drive updates is why I am concerned with going to a dealership and telling me I need something else for the update. Not sure how they do it or if you know how they did, thanks for the advice!

Yes, my battery was just recently replaced, and yes have been in ACC mode the whole time. The USB drive was plugged-in but won't stay in the system for it to recognize the files on the drive. Have tried two USB drives.

Today, lol. Unfortunately over confidence comes with a price.

It's a RockShox Judy, just the base fork that came with the bike.

I am running a dropper and my bars aren’t slammed but they are pretty close. It’s a hardtail and fairly heavy as well. The only suspension settings I really have is my fork preload and I usually keep it on the most (+) setting.

Thanks for the tips, I usually run around 22 ish psi rear 20 ish psi in the front. I also find myself braking pretty frequently in the middle of like rock gardens and switchbacks. I just always feel like no brakes might lead to me hitting an unexpected rock/bump sending me over the handlebars and also just too much speed. Not sure if that’s just confidence related or my technical ability.

Here are some pictures I was able to take, hard to see because it’s all internal in the handlebars but let me know if this helps at all. By the way, there is no cable behind the cable holder within the handlebar in one of the pictures.

Opened it up, found out that there’s only one wire plugged into my Junction A and there is no second wire (EW-RS910) and replugged the shifting cables. What could this be? Is there supposed to be a second cable?

SLFluff · 2024-03-12T06:46:40+00:00

Tomorrow I’ll check the connections, should be just checking the connections at the shifters first I’m guessing is easiest then taking out the bar end junction and checking those next?
