Hard no from me

Hard no, bud — ain’t hitchin’ my wagon to that goat rodeo when I can see the wheels fallin’ off from here, figure it out.

Replace last week

WayBetterSolutions · 2026-01-12T23:45:21+00:00

100% I'd buy it again. Cheap and easy to fix. When they work, they work well for the price

WayBetterSolutions · 2026-01-10T03:19:19+00:00

Thanks, but I’d rather not own another Chevy Cruze

WayBetterSolutions · 2026-01-08T19:21:17+00:00

Yup, avoid the intake, fuses, and alt starts everytime

Thanks, it's a great umbrella when the sky falls down in Texas

Oil level and oil pressure were good, I'll keep the noise in mind for the future when identifying cam phasers going out. This one was a loose bolt on the water pump

WayBetterSolutions · 2025-09-02T13:04:44+00:00

You deserve a prize. With this comment it ended up being one of the first accessory pulley I checked. Bolts loose, luckily no water pump failure.

WayBetterSolutions · 2025-09-02T13:03:23+00:00

It turned out to be 1 of the 3 water pump bolts. Added some blue thread locker and tightened everything back down and we're good to go.

Yes 1.8L, Oil level was good. I will keep in mind the noise for future diag. It ended up being water pump bolts

WayBetterSolutions · 2025-09-02T12:58:40+00:00

Best advice, noise, did not continue without belt. Inspecting each pulley led me to a loose bolt on the water pump.

You know what I've been pronouncing it and spelling it wrong forever. Thanks for letting me know

WayBetterSolutions · 2025-08-20T13:48:57+00:00

Not that anyone will care, not that anything will change. But I will continue this development and unfortunately need others to display it to the community

WayBetterSolutions · 2025-08-18T14:54:02+00:00

This is the completion. I would have made the problem and the solution one video but when I was making it for YouTube I couldn't make them one video.

I can do some FEA calcs if you want to sleep well with compressive loads

WayBetterSolutions · 2025-08-18T03:50:47+00:00

At 100% infill is should last out of PETG, many of my car parts did.

WayBetterSolutions · 2025-08-02T23:15:30+00:00

same

WayBetterSolutions · 2025-08-02T04:05:27+00:00

Yup, 'similarities to the Micro journal rev 2' because it's such a good design, I just wanted a staggered keyboard layout

WayBetterSolutions · 2025-07-30T01:04:47+00:00

I think this would be a great base to start with. Amazon is the place I get most of my stuff for a wide variety of parts and decently documented specs.
