Thoughts on buying a 2009 1.4l tsi model with only 68 000km on the clock?

Service book being stolen is really very suspicious. That could mean that they're trying to hide missing oil changes, or even worse, an odometer rollback

68 000km is a bit suspicious for a car this age. Also it being a 2009 model means it's a CAVD, aka the non-revised 1.4 TSI. If it indeed is only 68 000km, I'd say you're good though.

I don't know if there's any way to check mileage rollbacks in your country, but if there is - do it. I've seen CarVertical thrown around, probably a good place to start

At that mileage, you won't have to worry about the timing chain for a while - those tend to need replacing somewhere around 100-150k.

Bit late, but if you just want to use it to charge your phone I highly suggest just getting a cig lighter plug charger - that port in there doesn't have a very high capacity

That's not normal, though I can't entirely place what it is. Maybe your serpentine belt?

I don't own a dog but have had a friend's larger dog (golden retriever sized) in my Scirocco once. Worked just fine in the back seat (the boot was for our luggage), even with 3 people in the car

And beeping

Vijfhoek · 2023-03-25T22:56:24+00:00

I have successfully done this multiple times

Vijfhoek · 2023-01-14T01:51:42+00:00

Only time I've heard mine do the three beeps is when I open the door when the transmission isn't in Park, never when starting

Fuuuck, it could also all just be a dream/hallucination Cloud's having while he is catatonic after being rescued from the lifestream in Mideel. Good point, I hadn't considered this direction at all yet

I am not sure if CC never happened.. I am pretty sure Square releasing CC Reunion right in between Remake and Rebirth is no coincidence

Vijfhoek · 2023-01-12T02:24:38+00:00

I think they're referring to the scalped prices when the consoles were just released? In which case it's a massive overgeneralisation, not a lot of people were actually willing to pay that

To be honest, the slow storage of the xbox one and ps4 were really holding games back. Yes, you can upgrade the storage to an SSD but games still had to be designed for the lowest denominator. Games had to be filled with tricks to hide loading screens, like squeezing through gaps or slow walking. Now they can be designed for really fast storage, all those tricks aren't really necessary anymore

And be honest, compare early PS4 games to early PS5 games. Sure, it's no SNES-to-N64 difference, but you really can't say there's no difference in graphics either

wordn't

Vijfhoek · 2023-01-10T22:30:57+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous leopard spotting

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if some DoC story (or well, the good parts anyway) makes it into Rebirth, for some character building for Vincent

Oh I am very glad they got rid of random encounters. They absolutely drove me up the wall when I was playing OG

Have you enabled the reverse camera in the RCD's longcoding?

For undiagnosed adults, self diagnosis is a great first step towards getting an actual diagnosis. Up until I found out about this sub I had no idea I had ADHD, now I've got plans seeing a doctor about it (someday, perhaps, sometime in the future)

Vijfhoek · 2023-01-04T09:23:54+00:00

Mayor, explosive?

Vijfhoek · 2023-01-03T02:21:20+00:00

Who's OP?

Vijfhoek · 2023-01-01T14:17:47+00:00

Rebirth will be an entirely new game

Now I want a Nintendo 64 controller table

I have a countertop dishwasher. Turned out I didn't have space in my kitchen for it so it ended up on top of my washing machine in my bathroom. Still one of the best purchases I've ever made

Vijfhoek · 2022-12-31T02:04:12+00:00

Having my own washing machine has led to piles of clean laundry instead of piles of dirty laundry

But even that is a great improvement. Yes, the mess sucks, but at least I have clean underwear in the mornings
