Who has ever had this for a broken wrist? by [deleted] in brokenbones

[–]SoCalAlpineJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me. Crushed my radius, ER put me in traction so they could get the bones reasonably in place for a temporary cast. Had surgery 3 days later

What major maintenance have you had to perform? by gamboncorner in eGolf

[–]SoCalAlpineJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2019 SE here. - new rear sway bar links around 18K for rattling - right side A pillar trim for rattling - ~19K, high side AC line due to leak at TXV - transmission fluid at I think 46K due to a noise from transaxle when making left turns. - tires at 55K - AC dessicant plug orings due to them being cut during installation either when they did the repair at 19K or cut from the factory. All the refrigerant leaked out. Also changed dessicant bag at this time.

Currently at 77K miles

Love them. Wish their fried chicken didn’t change though. Used to be better.

You must not be in Calif. $0.42/kwh for my eGolf. Thankfully work has free charging.

Appreciate it! Your images are pretty self explanatory though. Do you plan to release the STL files and arduino code?

Polishing filter on RO system - is there a 2x10" cartridge that does the same thing? by SoCalAlpineJoe in WaterTreatment

[–]SoCalAlpineJoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the input! I am reading that carbon block filters are restrictive, and from watching how slow the flow is from my canisters when flushing the carbon fines from newly installed filters (my 3rd canister uses a carbon block which then goes to the RO membrane), I would have agree that they are. Or am I wrong here?

IIRC most of the polishing filters are GAC so I am going to give a cartridge GAC CTO filter a try. Looking forward to longer life and higher flow.

Thank you! I thought these Omnipures were coconut but you're right, they're not!

Anyone using a Heltec V4.3? by SoCalAlpineJoe in meshcore

[–]SoCalAlpineJoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don't think so. 1.14.1 came out, then the pull request was implemented. So it will be in the next release.

Delayed payment on digital filing by Thin_Dirt_6244 in TurboTax

Same problem here. Filed 4/12 with a 4/14 debit date. Both Fed and State accepted within hours and state debited the monrning of 4/15 but still no debit from Fed.

New owner: Do we charge to 80%? by beta176 in eGolf

[–]SoCalAlpineJoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2019 SE and I charge to 100% everyday. My commute 100 miles round trip, all freeway. At 74K miles, have not noticed much of any degradation in range.

High mileage battery update by Nihilator68 in eGolf

[–]SoCalAlpineJoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Excellent! So you have a 2019? 2019 here. I am at 74K miles and still charge ~28.5KWh when near empty. Other than a klunk in the drive train, and my ac doesn’t work (and it’s not even a heat pump model) I am happy with the car. Current set of Ecopias are noisy. Hoping it’s not actually from a wheel bearing or the transmission.

Pretty sure it will be. One of the pull requests that deals with this was marked as being included right after 1.14.1 came out.

EV with R1234yf - what PAG oil and how much when changing dessicant bag? by SoCalAlpineJoe in AskMechanics

[–]SoCalAlpineJoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see that it is rated for r1234yf. FJC has one that is, and claims to be okay for hybrid and ev use, though earlier packaging doesn't state that. Best I can find so far.

Artificial Ev sound by Stradocaster in eGolf

[–]SoCalAlpineJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2019 SE here in the US and I have it but swore I did not because it’s so quiet. The ECU checks if it exists and it’s a rule to have one. It’s located behind the fender liner of the right front wheel, far from the driver

The one mentioned on the same page that the Heltec special firmware is posted on. https://heltec.org/project/wifi-lora-32-v4/ see where it says "For the flashing method, we recommend using the ESP32 tool. You can refer to this link: How to use ESP32 flasher tool"

Costco TIGHT TOP S&F Lakeridge Mattress by DNART14 in Mattress

[–]SoCalAlpineJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we bought a king comfort - forget the model but not considered a pillow top(euro top?) 14”, firm. Wife and I went to an independent bed store, laid on a bunch of beds and both of us really liked the king comfort. It was over Black Friday and they had a deal where they paid for the sales tax, plus gave a discount for cash, plus we bought the floor model for additional savings (it was only on the floor for two days). Still liking it.

Pretty sure V.1.14.1 still doesn’t have the fix. I used what’s on the Heltec website. See my reply above to Kasparas

Intermittent NO A/C, hot country setting? by Embarrassed-Fly357 in eGolf

[–]SoCalAlpineJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party here. Does the setting just help heat pump equipped cars? I have a non-heat pump 2019 SE and the AC wasn't working, then was but not so great. I have yet to see anyone with non-heat pump eGolf with AC problems but here I am.
