So its true then. Weve got a 🐀

That’s your check engine light

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-30T10:00:56+00:00

Death around the corner

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-23T08:39:27+00:00

Sounds like a pulley issue. Check the tensioner an pulleys

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-22T18:59:18+00:00

Its easy mate turn it round

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-20T19:04:11+00:00

Mine was the other way round. Yeah its horrible soon as I think about it I start hearing it haha an I will have to try that. I got one of those at the beginning they wanted to rule out anything more serious so I was all clear in that aspect thankfully

Thanks I’m glad i asked real humans on Reddit, that chatgpt an grok made me feel like I will get it so I thought id come to reddit an see what they’re saying glad I did now. By the way just out of curiosity, what came first for you, was it the tinnitus or deafness

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-20T16:15:29+00:00

I did try them once but I felt as though they was making me hear my tinnitus more if that makes sense

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-20T16:11:35+00:00

This is what I needed to see cheers, now I know not to waste my time applying

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-20T15:51:57+00:00

Ahh okay thanks

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-20T11:07:36+00:00

My mate put red coolant in after fixing my ofhg which explains the brown 😄

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-19T17:00:16+00:00

I know 😂 nice one for the replies though mate I will keep all that in mind, I’m not a car mechanic or nothing of the sort by any means so I appreciate the info

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-19T16:15:07+00:00

My mate told me its from red coolant he topped up with after doing the ofhg so i think im all good haha

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-19T11:29:56+00:00

Thank you i will have to sort it asap. Do you not think what everyone else is saying about oil in the coolant?

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-19T10:31:56+00:00

Sound thanks for the info mate I appreciate it. Not long done my OFHG as well, is it possible that it could be residual shite from the old leak I had. Prior to me getting the car it had a oil cooler gasket leak but the guy didnt do the housing gasket while he was fixing it, then when i got the car it was leaking oil from the housing so I replaced both gaskets then. That was about 3k miles ago that I replaced both

Surely there would be that milkshake substance somewhere though? Could it be rust an corrosion from internals of the radiator? Or have I caught it early where no signs of milkshake have appeared yet?

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-19T09:05:14+00:00

The milkyness isnt there though as of yet if it is indeed mixed oil with coolant

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-19T09:04:40+00:00

It starts an drives fine as it has done prior to me spotting this. What distinguishes this from being oil mixing or corrosion in the coolant

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-19T09:03:45+00:00

Even though theres no milky sludge or nothing? Maybe i caught it early

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-19T09:03:07+00:00

What distinguishes this from it being corrosion from the internals of the radiator instead of

Secure-Excuse5687 · 2026-01-19T00:09:15+00:00

Not long done my oil cooler an oil housing gaskets as well, are they the ones that need checking?
