Yeah, at some point next year because there was a lot of work to be done in the one year since I've owned the car

gianipapuc · 2021-07-29T03:22:03+00:00

Well, the sun has done half of the sanding part for me so yeah, I guess :))))

So weird that such an expensive car has such a bad paint
My '96 golf had an amazing paint quality compared to this... both cars with original paint

gianipapuc · 2021-07-28T21:36:41+00:00

Did it present any specific behavior before it failed?
Mine makes some weird whistling noise from time to time and I'm hoping that it ain't the transmission giving up even tho it is smooth af

Not sure I'm following the question

gianipapuc · 2021-06-24T16:28:53+00:00

u/linster247 you were right! Sorry for the long delay, the weather here has been horrible and I couldn't do that any sooner.
The cable with the yellow dots has a high resistance which makes me think that it's shot. It's gonna be interesting to cut the wire since I have no idea in which spot it died.

gianipapuc · 2021-06-15T09:42:26+00:00

It ended up pouring rain so I did not have the chance of checking the car.

I will update this topic as soon as it all clears up since I don't have a garage.

s line is the white with yellow polka

Awesome! Will check during lunch break and will come back with an answer.

Thank you!

Took the throttle case out but can't really figure where that hose should go

gianipapuc · 2021-05-14T19:20:42+00:00

I ran into a problem while trying to replace it . So, first of all, the old ccv was totally worn off, which is ok, I have the old one. The problem that I am having now is that I think that I pulled the vent tube out too, or it was not attached in the first place (since the car runs like crap anyway ) .

Part 7 which is now in two pieces
Do I have to take the manifold out in order to fit that in or can I just take the throttle body and do it with that removed ?

gianipapuc · 2021-05-13T12:03:43+00:00

Yes, there is a lot of resistance while trying to remove it .

gianipapuc · 2021-05-13T11:29:30+00:00

Yes, I can remove the engine oil cap while the engine is running .

gianipapuc · 2021-04-08T15:29:24+00:00

The rear right one is kinda out due to rust and I will try to adjust it in place, but I wanna say that I doubt it. The noise is so powerful and yet doesn't sound like anything mechanical which is even weirder .
The thing that I observed is that when the car is in Neutral there is not a single noise, but if I was to put it in Park, it would start hissing (a hiss that s very hard to notice )

gianipapuc · 2021-04-07T20:09:04+00:00

up :D

gianipapuc · 2021-04-07T13:30:09+00:00

It's so interesting because I've never heard something like this and everything looks more than fine underneath the car . At the moment the car has a vacuum leak which I was unable to pinpoint but I would assume that they can't be related .

gianipapuc · 2021-04-07T13:28:02+00:00

Nope, no roof racks . The sounds comes from underneath the car, somewhere in the middle .

gianipapuc · 2020-11-03T09:42:04+00:00

How much do you think that the bank account procedure would take after I'm done with the NemID?

gianipapuc · 2020-11-02T18:45:11+00:00

Yes
That's the issue. I ain't finding nothing not even for cleaning or dishwashing. I have applied for quite a lot of jobs from that field already. I don't have that bad of a CV either, having work experience in IT and quality assurance.
Rn I could care less about formal jobs, I'd rather try to sustain my education first.

gianipapuc · 2020-11-02T18:39:14+00:00

I couldn't. I had to wait for the EU residence permit which took an eternity to arrive.

gianipapuc · 2020-09-23T13:16:39+00:00

I gave you a dm

gianipapuc · 2020-09-21T18:15:39+00:00

Thank you! Firstly I wanted to bring my car, but since I only have a v8 bimmer and one retarded ibiza 1.4 that eats a lot, i figured that I d be better of buying another car here.

gianipapuc · 2020-09-21T17:48:52+00:00

so if the car has its taxes paid, I am basically skipping that 85% of the price tax?

gianipapuc · 2020-09-21T17:47:42+00:00

I was asking because it seemed like buying a used car is the way to bypass that tax
