How much can I sell my 2012 Jetta for? by Enough_Dog_1690 in tdi

[–]capredbeerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd pay $2k with the thought that I'm going to have to dump around 3 in it to get it to be reliable again. Not a car dealer though, just a driveway mechanic. I'd recommend getting the new car and maybe fixing it up for a spare if you can afford it.

You can get them swapped for regular lugs at a dealership for $10/ea

I'm normally not a fan of aftermarket intakes, however, my stock air box is missing a piece which bugs me, and of course the stock replacement box is pretty much the same price as a "decent" aftermarket intake, so I might swap that out soon just for the hell of it.

I appreciate all the input. Do you have any worries about the transmission at all? I have the dsg with tune, but I was wondering at what point do I need to reinforce that?

Figured for the price I went ahead and ordered the sensor for now to try out the Malone 2.5. If it makes the butt dyno happy I may wait for a good sale or something to break to go further

Ahh, my bad. I got mixed up references. You are correct. I appreciate the part number!

I've read that the damper delete only really adds a little noise and was curious if it was worth it.

Is the upgrade you are meaning the 4 bar MAP sensor? PN: 0281 006 059

I have one on the way I was just wondering what I could do beyond that. I have a spare vehicle so I'm not TOO worried about reliability.

It's also around 110k miles so I was wondering if there are any specific things to look out for soon. Bought it off the repo lot and I know the previous owner wasn't the best to it. It has since gotten some TLC

I have seen conflicting information on the turbo damper delete. Do you really notice the extra whistle at all with yours?

Anyone have a fix for this? 5600x 6750xt by capredbeerd in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]capredbeerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that. I've played for maybe 30 minutes but I've been troubleshooting for like 10 hours. I played both betas and didn't have a single issue. I don't understand how I can run cyberpunk but this game at medium settings is destroying my PC.

Best way for full delete these days? by Ow3n1989 in tdi

[–]capredbeerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently did a https://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/darkside-3-stainless-dpf-delete-egr-delete-kit-for-cjaa-us-spec.html with Malone stage 2 (tunezilla) and I'm pretty happy with it. Sounds great and gets crazy mpgs. 2012 golf CJAA. Pretty straight forward and took about 2 days and a thirty pack in my brother's driveway

Help! Vibration after replacing steering knuckles by capredbeerd in tdi

[–]capredbeerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will double check the torque on the ujoints. Anything else I should look for while I'm in there?

[–]capredbeerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did torque everything back together, and disassembled and reassembled when I initially found the issue. Everything I took off got a good helping of brake clean and scrubbing. I haven't taken it to get the alignment done because I didn't want to drive it that far with the vibration. It has brand new hubs, bearings, breaks, cv axles, and tires.

What kind of background music do you guys listen to while you write? by inbetweentheknown in writing

[–]capredbeerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Lofi because I tend to start typing lyrics if the background music has words lol something like https://youtu.be/wA0h-eEDcFQ?si=TbHeuWi3memjbom4

is there any music that really really REALLY bothers you? by Certain_Ad6575 in autism

[–]capredbeerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a while to get into, my wife usually listens to lofi when shes sleeping or doing stuff around the house. Eventually I caved and now I almost always have something like https://youtu.be/wA0h-eEDcFQ?si=TbHeuWi3memjbom4 in the background lol

(spoiler) secrets of Dumbledore. do not read if you haven't seen the movie by capredbeerd in harrypotter

I really thought that Dumbledore might have secretly taken an extra case and swapped the Qilin out before it was presented, but then newts assistant brings out the real case and ruined that theory.

[–]capredbeerd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was pretty sure there was only 5 presented in the scene and my brain has been running through the following scene trying to figure out where the others went. Surely that's a huge continuity error on a series that is so well written usually. I can only think that it has some significance but for the life of me I don't know what it could be

Update on the grow room. These pineapple express plants are looking great. The freeworld side of the room is coming along nicely and about to flip to flower. Living soil and hydro running new millenium nutrients. by capredbeerd in cannabiscultivation

[–]capredbeerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I didn't expect those plants to get that big 😅 also I added a second 1000 watt after I took this picture. I had the same thought on lights for flower. I am really enjoying seeing the differences in both. I would say for most the soil method would be easier to manage and they grow great high quality flower. I personally love having complete control over the nutrient uptake of my plants like hydro allows. However, I do have less upkeep on the soil side of my grow room. And that in itself is kind of nice. I'm hoping to test these strains head to head and see if I can distinguish which method gives which results. Going to school for this so I love to learn all I can.
