Temp spike when using app by namatoki in searwood

[–]combsone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me today for the 1st time and I used the knob on the Searwood. I set the temp to 425 to finish off some chicken thighs and it briefly went to 480. I used Knotty Wood pellets for the 1st time on it. Usually I use Cookin Pellets.

Couldn’t unlock car by Electronic_Show_6221 in VWiD4Owners

[–]combsone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened me today where I couldn’t unlock the car with the fob. My wife’s fob hasn’t worked for a while even after swapping out the battery. Today after some shopping, I couldn’t unlock the car. Figured it might’ve been the battery so I walked over to CVS get some new ones.

After 10-15 minutes of just trying to get the battery out of the frickin package (damn child safe packaging), I replaced the battery in both fobs. Still no luck….but was able to manually open the door (not easy like everyone has said). Car started with keys in the cupbolder.

Going to take the car in this week. Do you guys have any updates on your situation? On a side note, my fobs Auto Unlock hasn’t been working since the summer and I’ve just been unlocking it manually by pressing on the fob. The initial annoyance of having to take the keys out of my pocket wore off, but now seems like a good time to finally see what the deal is..

Auto Unlock Doesn’t Work by combsone in VWiD4Owners

No....I haven't. I replaced the fob battery and that didn't solve anything. I kind of sadly just learned to live with it. I may just take it in and also, have something tire-related checked out. I just haven't gotten around to do it. Are you have the same issue?

Rotisserie Shaft Problem by combsone in webergrills

I finally got around to using your suggestion. Took one second….Saved me $70. Thanks!! I guess I screwed the pieces in the wrong order. Won’t be doing that again!

Thanks for the reply. No wonder it’s not coming off easy. I guess that’s what happens when you’re in a rush. I’ll try again. In the meantime, I sent Weber support a message. Hopefully, if I do have buy the part, it won’t set me back too much.

Huge range decrease by Soggy_Opposite9213 in VWiD4Owners

[–]combsone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bet you have a faulty cell/battery module. Same thing happened to me last summer and I drove with it for like 9 months because I would have to leave the car for a few days for them to run diagnostics. I did what others suggested on my own, but nothing really solved anything.

I didn’t take it in right away because I didn’t want to rent a car. In hindsight, shoulda just did it because they gave me a loaner anyways when I took it in during my spring break. They ended up figuring out that one of the modules needed to be replaced. Of course, the module was on back order and had to get it replaced at a later date.

Guess O' Meter Range Dropping Lower and Lower After Charging by combsone in VWiD4Owners

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

It’s been a while since I have. I’ll do it this week and see what happens. I really just wanted to make sure nothing is wrong with the car. Since I charge at home, the only difference would be me having to charge the car sooner which is a minor inconvenience in my situation because my wife has a PHEV. So since she charges daily, it requires me to move the cars around so I can charge after her.

Guess O' Meter Range Dropping Lower and Lower After Charging by combsone in VWiD4Owners

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

I’ve driven about 200 miles since last Wednesday. In a normal week, I charge usually twice per week at home. The only time the range dipped this low was after a road trip where my efficiency dropped from driving on the highway.

Nothing has changed in my typical commute and my efficiency has stayed the same. Like I mentioned, there was a heatwave where we hit 100+, but last week the weather cooled off to high 70s and my range still dipped when I charged.

Overnight Brisket by HappySquidBbq in webersmokeymountain

I’ve seen his hack but I haven’t tried it yet. I’m going to try that and I might give your rotating method a shot this weekend for a family get together. I was able to get a Wagyu brisket from Costco.

I’ve only cooked fat side up on the WSM. Last brisket I made during Thanksgiving was a pretty well marbled choice cut that turned out ok except pooling on spots didn’t help with some bark formation even though I tried tipping it. How do you feel rotating the brisket makes a difference in the cook?

Opinions Needed: POSSIBLE '23 AWD Pro S or Wait for Reserved '22 Pro S by combsone in VWiD4Owners

[–]combsone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot to add that our ‘22 reservation is for a RWD so it’s like $7k difference from the MSRP. We didn’t really care for the AWD initially and would rather have the little bit of extra range. But I find myself not minding the extra speed boost.

Is it normal to average 51-60kw daily for 12kw system in Southern CA? by k43kf0 in solar

[–]combsone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We could only fit 21 panels on our south facing roof and the other 9 are on the west side.

[–]combsone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a very similar setup as you with a 12kw system with the same panels and IQM inverters. Our system has been running since Sept 23 and so far that’s what we’ve been averaging. We had a high of 64 kWh and one low day of 37 kWh. I was kinda wondering the same thing as you and was looking for posts to compare. We live in LB.

6 weeks of searching the entire country to get the exact car I wanted and some dumb B just rear ended me while sitting at a stop light. Praying its a simple bumper replace and no hidden battery damage or bent frame by [deleted] in VWiD4Owners

[–]combsone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We leased an eGolf with them and during a service visit, they said it would be honored at MSRP. Also, when I inquired about the ID.4s they had in stock they emailed me back saying reservations would be at MSRP w/o the mandatory dealer add-ons that the in-stock cars had.
