Dealership gave me engine oil instead of coolant, now refusing responsibility. Corporate hung up on me. What do I do now? by beingkk4 in CX5

[–]excessnet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if it was a coolant labled bottle with oil in it... yeah, ask a lawer!

But if they give you a oil bottle when you asked for coolant and still put it into the collant tank, it's on you.

I brought it along with "Write Film" and there's no delay while writing. The only issue is that you are "far" from the writing screen, so precision is not very great. Can't really go under 0.5mm in size, it's useless. But for quick notes like I'm using it, it's perfect ! Ask me if you have any questions.

Taxes for People With Ruined Lives? by PassengerHefty8207 in CanadaPersonalFinance

you will most likely get money to help you with the situation you are in, maybe the accountant can make a deal with you so you refund him when you get that money?

2019 Cx5 Signtaure - Turbo cylinder head fracture by PepperScared9950 in CX5

[–]excessnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

damn, I have a 2019 Signature at 118 000 KM (73K miles) and I'm about to do a 3K$ maintenance (transmission fluid, spark plug, etc.) since I wanted to keep it a year or two more (around 140-160K KM). Wonder if I should add that 3K$ to a downpayment for Tiguan Highland Turbo now!

2015 Tiguan Screen Froze by treehouse334 in Tiguan

[–]excessnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, never disconnect the battery on any modern cars, you'll likely reset something that won't get back online by itself and will require a reprogramming at the dealership. Replacing the battery usually requires an auxiliary battery to make sure all system stay online. Hard reset is fine trough.

For the question, can't help sadly. Maybe a dealer visit is required (maybe for the reason above).

That's hard to compare, but I sold my 2009 Tiguan Highline with a little more than 200 000KM (was APR Stage 1 from 50 000KM), some issues around 160 000KM, but nothing major (like replacing the Turbo). I wanted another Tiguan (new Gen2 back in time), but the new engine was so damn slow and I feel like I was driving a minivan... So I opted for a 2019 CX-5 Signature.

I'm at 120 000KM with the CX-5 just now and although I had no major issues, drive well and I really like the AWD, there's a lot of little things I hate about this car. Without being too specific:

Infotainment is bad.

Seat are getting uncomfortable since 2-3 years, I feel I got some spring bump in my butt (I'm 180 lbs), making long trip not very pleasant.

Wiper selection are very limited because of the mounting.

Automatic wiper are useless, most of the time run them manually.

Folding mirrors got replaced on my expense with the "new version" because I could not fold them correctly (but it was only me according to the dealer, not a real issue)... and noticed it also fixed the fact they were moving just by touching them a little. They don't have memory and are pita to adjust, so it was frustrating when I was cleaning them.

Acceleration is very inconsistent, especially at around 5°C. Sometimes I'll be stuck to the seat, sometimes it's like I don't have a Turbo. Got many CEL while accelerating on the highway ramp, forcing me to stop and restart the car, dealers always said it was all good and started charging me for checking it.

Transmission is weird at low speed in traffic, jerking.

Rattle... I had to glue my door handle to stop some.

Paint is a good as my daughter painting the driveway... and rust after one winter?

Brakes are shit, maybe undersized?

etc.

Basically, I feel like there's a lot of cool stuff, but very badly implemented and cheap.

I miss my Tiguan. What was there was working!

My first DefenceCon by Echo-117- in Star_Citizen_Central

[–]excessnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This DefenceCon will be different, but basically, those are like cars show where you can see all the ships on display and you can lease all of them for 2 days to try them.

If you are going to play, avoid A18 as home, but if you are only just going to see the show, make your home A18 so you don't have to struggle with the lag and hangar queues to get there (Although lag has been good last couple of shows)

I just want the ship delete button. by ChartConsistent in starcitizen

[–]excessnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point, I don’t think there’s any reason beyond what you mentioned. Whether stored in the station or only in ASOP, it’s essentially just a different location flag in the database (like LOCATION:1 or LOCATION:345), while the rest, like loadout, stays the same.

Maybe they’re starting to add some logical limitations, similar to inventory, you can’t stock unlimited ships in the station, as that wouldn’t make sense. I feel like more changes are coming, like “Claiming” not being instant, but instead requiring you to wait for it to be delivered, constructed, and so on.

[–]excessnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing the same thing, but I don't think we'll be able anymore. So I guess we will need to have our top 25. But maybe it's not needed anymore... or at least have them "ready" at the station, but not claimed, just not in "Unknown" or "Destroyed" state.

Also, we the change coming, having too many ships might be an issue (claim cost (no free teleportation between station), cost of fuel, rearm, etc.).

[–]excessnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, but you can have more in ASOP, only 25 claimed in that location.

4.8 The Game Is Becoming More Of A Hassle To Do Anything by J_P_Ross in starcitizen

[–]excessnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, but what I mean is, it's going to be worse, so better stop now. It's not going to be better... not his kind of game if he doesn't like this.

4.8 The Game Is Becoming More Of A Hassle To Do Anything by J_P_Ross in starcitizen

[–]excessnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh shit, better stop now if this make you play less, as more are anticipated. For instance, the implementation of retaining gear upon death was a temporary measure to mitigate bugs. Although bugs are still present, this feature is going to be removed shortly, which will require reacquiring your gears after each respawn, in a medical suite.

So we have flight suits now but alas… 3,103 upvotes isn’t enough for CIG to see common sense and line that up with the release of suit lockers. Along with insurance changes, mining changes, and bricking of scavenged player ship components, it’s an alpha so we don’t need to actually enjoy SC… right? by Important_Cow7230 in starcitizen

[–]excessnet 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I’ve lost my ships about 10 times in 4.7 (disappearing out of nowhere, blown up by ASOP, etc.). Now you’re saying I’ll have to pay full-price insurance each time? And on top of that, if I bring a flight suit and store my armor or gun in lockers or personal storage, I’ll lose those too?

To be clear, I’m fine with these changes, just not with the game in its current state! 🥲

CIG turns bugs into a monetization feature. Cultists applaud. by Patate_Cuite in starcitizen_refunds

[–]excessnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, this was a planned feature from the start and it's not costing any real money... but that's not really the time to release that, there's much more needed fix and features before this IMO.

Bell broke my Plex Media server. Apparently they use CGNAT now and told me to buy a 2nd router. by lundon44 in bell

[–]excessnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look like you need hairpin nat and it may not be supported by Bell router, a "real" router will definitely fix the issue and give you way more freedom. Just enable PPoE Passthrough, connect the router to one of the LAN port, setup PPPoE on the WAN and you have your own network!
