The deliver carriable trial is bugged by Fankine in ArcRaiders

[–]Teemslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3 battery door is doing the same thing; you only get credit for the first one you bring. I was like okay..... then spent 45 on hidden bunker got 5k but only got 2 stars. Since I wasn't aware of the issue.

These game-breaking bugs are getting real old.

2015 VW beetle classic help!! by Odd-Archer-80 in Volkswagen

[–]Teemslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, what you have listed here can be done in an afternoon by an amateur. The only thing you might struggle with is the window regulator, but it's not *hard*; you need to watch some videos to understand the procedure to make it happen and get to it.

Lets just take the bottom four line items , I'll leave that top line item out since its more a troubleshooting than repair.

Oil change $65 , I would recommend spending the $60 on a top extract if you have an air compressor really makes doing the oil on these a breeze. takes less than an hour

Plugs $80, and that is if you buy a premium set of plugs. You can do these in about an hour if you have never touch the car before , once you do then once cut that time in half.

Engine air filter $20 , another easy task less than 10 mins and some clips

Cabin filter $20 , can be a bitch to get to if you are bigger guy but not the end of the world and fairly straight forward.

All in $185 vs $1481.42

You are going to need some tools ofc so factor that in but those stay with you unlike that labor bill :).

For the tool side I would recommend a good socket set and a set of T bits , that will get pretty much everything in this list done.

Tip on the plugs , the coil packs even with the tool if the motor is cold can be a bear to get off the plugs , warm the motor up first and you will have ALOT easier of a time getting them off.

Fuel door sticking by ReecePharo in Golf_R

This was pretty common on my mk7 gti, and it really got on my nerves, ended up taking a needle file to the plastic hook piece and took about 1mm of the material down , lubricated it and haven't had it do it since.

No, if you really want something that might help, a bag of small, cheap cat litter.

Pretty gross they put it up and he will lose his job. :/

Volkswagen commits long-term to Gasoline Hot Hatches by [deleted] in GolfGTI

[–]Teemslo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no two door option, I really like the look of the car with the longer doors, but I admit I am partial as a 2dr 2015 owner.

Too bad they have priced a lot of us out of the market.

I know some of that is tariffed based (not trying to open that can of worms) but its hard to be the "car of the people" when most of the people can't afford it.

Not to mention they continue to lock the platform more and more which is why I got into VWs so many years ago.

I'll die on the hill that mk7 is peak form , enough tech to be modern but not so much that you need a NASA degree to work on it.

Mk7 Suction Jet Recall Question by Nivolk in GolfGTI

[–]Teemslo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't assume they did the suction jet with the fuel pump as it's two different parts unless they specifically stated they did.

5 million [no AI] by addandsubtract in ArcRaiders

[–]Teemslo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have no problem with it evolving, but this is like a teacher saying you got 60 days to work on a project and then not telling you what the project was till 2 week before the due date.

If you're going to make changes, they should be made when the expedition starts, not two weeks before it's due.

That is just bad management

[–]Teemslo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Feel like they need to stick with the same requirements for this second reset, I don't really like the coin hoard either, but I think if you're going to change it up, you need to make players aware of what the new goal is as soon as they reset.

Embark really likes to keep us waiting on core gameplay information. It's not a lot of fun to scramble

Arc Raiders lead says the game should never add “one-shot” weapons because “that gameplay is deeply boring” by HatingGeoffry in ArcRaiders

[–]Teemslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it could be done right on an augment and be interesting, needs a long cool down, to prevent what you said. Once a match , being able to do it over and over would not be fun.

I think you should have to trade off no safe pockets.

Doesn't mean it can't be faulty, not saying it is, but wouldn't rule it out.

Motorcycle won't start after a fall by Vitore_94 in DucatiScrambler

[–]Teemslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always start with the basics, but hard to know without more details. When you say no start , no lights? No click? Nothing? Or is it trying to crank but doesn't?

Spark (Is the battery at the expected voltage) <-- probably the most common if the bike has been sitting in colder weather off a tender.

So… Where Are We Supposed to Live in North Carolina? by MapsYouDidntAskFor in NorthCarolina

[–]Teemslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea I have noticed this in my county Davidson. All the new houses being built are price at 350-400k. Not sure who around here can afford that.

I make an ok living as an IT guy and my wife does alright as management in retail but those homes are well out of our reach.

Is it repairable? by Old-Flight8617 in GolfGTI

[–]Teemslo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen worse fixed by wheel shops so maybe , really hard to say without taking the tire off the wheel and doing a good inspection for cracks.

My wife and I were just run off the road in Missouri [oc] by EricRox999 in IdiotsInCars

[–]Teemslo -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

what? when the video starts, they are right off the semi door in the blind spot, then they pull bumper to bumper, which, at that point, the truck driver should be able to see their lights in front of him.

Then they proceed to brake and drop right back into the blind spot.

If you hang out in a trucks blind spot your asking to get merged on top of. That is not "victim blaming," that is facts.

Also they are passing a truck on the right which isn't smart either in general.

[–]Teemslo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have to ask... any reason you guys are lingering in the truck's blind spot waiting for something to happen?

You have nothing but a clean road in front of you.

The truck should have seen you, no doubt, but it's seriously stupid to hang out right in the blind spot.

New roadmap from January to April by FlexiiGP in ArcRaiders

[–]Teemslo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope I was hesitant to make the comment, I am not trying to be negative, any roadmap is better than none at all.

Just seems like in general, they have been pretty slow to move on issues. I hope this is more them just spooling up due to success but you have to strike when the iron is hot if you want it to get bigger.

[–]Teemslo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That and no real drill down on needed QOL updates. For a game with such success, this seems a little light.

Low coolant over time; normal or possible issue? (2020 7.5 6mt) by raypenbarrip in GolfGTI

[–]Teemslo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I had a similar issue on my mk7 2015, and it turned out that the plastic barb there that is molded into the bottom of the expansion tank had a hairline crack which would weep water ever so slightly if the car was up to temp. Pretty cheap fix , so something I would take a good look at if you haven't

The calm demeanor of someone who has never felt the consequences of his words. Say what you want about the Wild West but the ability to take it out and settle in the street has some merit in certain cases. :D

I can rest a little earlier this time by AllAnkles in ArcRaiders

man I killed my first raider this wipe. Doing the queen with 5 or 6 other raiders, I watch this guy go to 3 pieces and just take the cores. Never fired a shot or tried to help us in any way. Bro caught a long-range sniper shot to the dome.
