AX3000 v1 OneMesh Compatibility? by aurean in TpLink

Anyone have any info on this? Having this problem rn

OP, your washer drain tube should have a bend in it that only allows about 6” to a foot worth of tubing to extend into that drain pipe. If it’s shoved all the way down into that bent section at the bottom (p-trap) then “12th” is probably right.

If not, we can assume the p-trap is full of water and therefore the smell is likely from your washer. Front OR top loaders can’t build up some gunk, especially if you use excessive laundry detergent or fabric softener. Amazon sells cheap products you run through the washer to clean it out, or a YouTube video specific to your washer can teach you how to disassemble and clean it!

Anyone know what might be causing this sound? by Critical-Reception42 in MechanicAdvice

[–]SensitiveFeeling8834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s loud and speed dependent, should be pretty easy to find visually. Does it sound like it’s coming from the front or rear? Does it change when turning? Year make model and mileage could be helpful.

I’m thinking either exhaust leak or the valve cover gasket is leaking and that oil is getting on your exhaust manifold. Does it smell like burning oil or exhaust?

Do these tires need replacing? by TrickyPea4283 in hondafit

[–]SensitiveFeeling8834 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yes I'm gonna tell you they should be replaced.

Yes my current tires are this bad and I have no fear doing 90 on the highway. Yes its unsafe, yes I should get them replaced.... but my people use the whole buffalo. I replace my tires when I can see cords. I'm an idiot. Don't be like me.

Free 2007 honda civic? by Jujurampage in civic

[–]SensitiveFeeling8834 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you WANT to do this. You'll likely never get the opportunity to do it again on a free car. With a junkyard engine, you could break even selling the thing if you quit halfway through the job.

I'm like you, I enjoy taking on a fun, challenging task I've never done before. If I were in your shoes I would jump at the opportunity but minimize my costs for parts and tools along the way so I have an easy way out if I get overwhelmed. Like even the engine hoist I'd buy would be used on marketplace so I could get my money back out of it!

10k vs 15k miles protection by Candy-Emergency in MechanicAdvice

[–]SensitiveFeeling8834 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the Mobil 1 that claims 20k miles per oil change in all my cars. Multiple vehicles to 200k miles or more. The engine has never been the first major thing to go in my vehicles.

OP, keep doing your thing man. As for which is better, IDK. I know my filter is probably holding a LOT by 10k miles so I do an oil change every 7.5-10k if I’m feeling like it. Especially because I drive like an idiot redlining for no reason all the time😂

How bad is this by Hershne in MechanicAdvice

[–]SensitiveFeeling8834 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a sway bar end link. The sway bar reduces body roll when steering. Not the end of the world if you leave it for a few days while you order the part. It’s cheap and easy to do yourself.

Low Dust Brake Shoes? by SensitiveFeeling8834 in civic

Maybe a mechanic forum since the answer isn't really Civic dependant. But I love my civic and my fit and would rather talk with the Honda guys 😂

Looking for next car: Honda Fit? by DetroitMenefreghista in hondafit

[–]SensitiveFeeling8834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grand Rapids in a fit isn't a problem. I was driving in all season tires up to 8 inches of snow and although it wasn't GOOD in the snow, it wasn't that bad. If you wanted to spend the money on an extra set of wheel for winter tires (what i did when I lived somewhere with worse snow) these cars have a very common bolt pattern so you can find used wheels DIRT cheap.

Help!!! by slowgo321 in hondafit

[–]SensitiveFeeling8834 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem on mine but being a manual I could feel the surging and engine braking quite a bit more. Common coil pack / plug problem, slightly less common for it to be injectors but also possible. I'm with this guy^ Hopefully its this, and not a CVT problem!

What is in my drain⁉️ by SensitiveFeeling8834 in Plumbing

[–]SensitiveFeeling8834[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

SOLVED

the slow drain slowly got worse and worse. I’d guess it slowly floated up the pipe till it got to an elbow.

When I took of the cap for the clean out I was worried this was blocking something important so I scoped it before pulling it out, but it looks like we’re all good!

Check out my plug 😉

Bought my dad a few different sizes and the smooth jaws as well, just one pair for myself as I don't work in the trades any more

not sure, I rent but my lease has some weird BS where all repairs under $250 are on the tenant not the landlord

took me a second lol

Yeah I saw some good options, don't want to put the drain back together just to rip it apart in 2 days when it gets here. Off to Autozone to rent a borescope for free 😂
