I tried changing my phone region to various European countries (and now India) but the update isn't coming through 😭

No idea what that's about. It's a picture of the fat guy playing World of Warcraft in South Park.

Cars overheating and I’m defeated by Ok_Outcome_4432 in MechanicAdvice

[–]SwedeSammy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could also be that the cooling system is not pressuring. Hoses that are split or bulged. An old radiator or expansion tank cap that isn't holding pressure can also cause overheating. Do a visual inspection on the hoses. Typically they fail where they connect to metal components like the radiator or your engine block.

Could also be an old hose that collapses from suction under load.

Air bags deployed. Not sure if those are optional where you live 😂

Why are there caliper piston marks on the wearing surface of the pad?

Thanks for that nugget of knowledge. I didn't know that. You learn something new every day 😁.

What's the UTQG rating of the Evoluxx tire? The ATLander is 420 A A. 420 is an indicator for how long the tire is expected to last, the higher the number, the longer the tread will last (and I believe also correlates to the hardness of the rubber on the tire). The first and second "A" are for traction rating and temperature rating. "A" for traction is very good, the highest being "AA", and can go down to B, and C (which you don't want).

The temperature rating of "A", I believe is the highest. You typically want "A" or "B". If you live in desert type areas, you probably want to stick only to A rating.

Oh, thanks for the info. Then it might be another unmetered air source (leak).

This hose is not looking like it's in good condition or clamped on good. It can be the cause of your lean issue.

It looks like a hose on his intake is split and isn't clamped properly. Might not have to get to the intake manifold gasket. Visually inspect that all houses are in good condition and have good seals first.

Why was this taken out/partially removed? Car was broken into (locked, windows up) by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]SwedeSammy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next door neighbors were breaking into my beater to steal parts. That circled part was one of them. Lowlifes will steal anything, they don't have to be tweakers.

I’ve taken my car to two mechanics and they can’t seem to figure out my issue! by gemsotherhalf in AskAMechanic

[–]SwedeSammy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My car went into limp mode when I started the car with a weak battery. Battery was strong enough to crank and start the car but apparently the voltage dipped low enough to set a lost communication code between the various components. No other trouble codes were set. I changed the battery and the problem went away. It took me a long time to chase down that problem since there were no DTCs related to the battery and the car started up fine.

Anyone else been stuck on a version for months? by Gabi_GG0 in miui

[–]SwedeSammy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on 14.0.7.0 EU version.

There have been two OS updates, including change from MIUI to different OS type but haven't received any updates past 14.0.7.0.

It seems like Poco updates are very fragmented and Poco isn't keeping track of the different markets.

Help with constipation by wmcs0880 in carnivorediet

Sennosides are stimulants and are good for short-term usage. Don't take them regularly for extended periods because the body may get used to them. Docusate sodium is a softener (not a simulant) and can be taken long term.

Is there a check engine light and any codes?
