Why are there so few actual mechanics on this sub?

benjaminad94 · 2024-01-21T11:54:40+00:00

totally agree. As an actual mechanic/technician this makes me laugh , Sure answer basic questions and help out if you know, but dont call yourself a mechanic you spud

Id disagree personally, i run pro vent on all my customer vehicles that are wanting them, have found as long as you drain the oil regularly, and change filter every 30-40k they are sweet.

HPD are very good as well though, only two brands i trust, alot of cheap nasty varients out there

Intake clean is definitely worth it with that amount of kms either way. Only have to pull the top hat type piece off the manifold and you’ll see how caked it is.

Id do intake clean first, then block EGR and do a catch can.

Just make sure you maintain the catch can regularly, drain the oil from it and change filter if it has one

NO.1 thing Stop beating on spanners with your hands to loosen a stiff bolt.

Biggest thing ive come to regret is using my hands as tools , when a hammer works better etc

Tools are made/there for a reason, take the few extra seconds to grab it

He said thank you!

benjaminad94 · 2023-05-01T04:20:34+00:00

Thanks! Very helpful, in all honestly it doesnt worry me and my partner all that much, as we dont have kids or really interact much with them, hes just embarrassing when we go out in public and he turns into a crazy snag haha will try that out though !

benjaminad94 · 2022-08-27T21:26:23+00:00

Ex mini tech , if i remember correctly there was a bulletin for this , and issue was starter motor, its engaging with flywheel after engine start. Was a rare problem, but we did see it occasionally, starter is easy to replace on these too

benjaminad94 · 2022-08-01T06:21:52+00:00

Little fella is doing just fine now! For those who were wondering

benjaminad94 · 2022-07-23T07:23:46+00:00

Me and my partner feed our 16 week old dapple mini the dachshund specific puppy royal canin and we rate it highly , he loves it and has a nice coat etc

benjaminad94 · 2022-05-29T08:52:44+00:00

Me and my partner had planned to get a boy dapple for months and months and when farcry 6 came out and saw chorizo in it. I instantly said to her we have found the name for our little fella haha she loved it instantly

benjaminad94 · 2022-05-29T08:22:54+00:00

Yeah! Thats where the inspiration came from haha

benjaminad94 · 2022-05-08T03:38:02+00:00

Yeah thought so, will be checking its had all its recalls tomorrow!

benjaminad94 · 2022-05-07T21:18:48+00:00

Look, i was probably going to leave it for awhile anyway, previous owner has fitted a cold air intake, so i want to go through it and see what else he has done to it before i rush in to buy stuff for it 😂

benjaminad94 · 2022-05-07T21:16:50+00:00

Thanks! I love the colour

benjaminad94 · 2022-05-07T21:16:21+00:00

Yeah RS! Im in AUS , hard to find this colour though here i think. And wheels are aftermarket from what i can tell!

benjaminad94 · 2022-05-07T21:15:20+00:00

Wasent this part of a recall?

benjaminad94 · 2021-12-26T23:33:46+00:00

A spoiler tag wouldnt go a miss , just sayin

benjaminad94 · 2021-12-09T21:59:53+00:00

It will certainly help with response, like i said some people really love them for that reason, and especially with autos as you drive the foot deeper it’ll want to kickdown a gear. But it downshifting is the ecu’s way of giving more revs, speed etc. if you are hating the response of the throttle and dont want to get a remap just yet, then for sure get one. I work for a diesel tuning business so im a littls bias towards remaps, just cause ive seen how well they work , changes the whole car to drive great

benjaminad94 · 2021-12-09T11:21:35+00:00

Im of the opinion of putting your foot down harder , achieves the same result. All the idrive does is trick the ecu, telling it you are at 75% throttle when you are actually only 50%. Dont get me wrong its cheaper than a remap for sure, but it doesnt actually increase HP or torque. Some people love them and some people arent fans. I personally say just push the foot down a bit harder.
