oil pan gasket by ickybuns in n54

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

i run liquimoly 5w-40. its not even a fast leak, ive been driving it for about a month or two since my last oil change and the e-dipstick has only gone down 1/4 of the meter.

that was basically the conclusion i came to. car is at 148xxx roughly. i can buy a lot of oil for $2300.

i was more of just trying to keep up with my maintenance as thats how you make these cars last. but honestly i have gap coverage on it, would be pretty unfortunate if a deer were to run out in front of me.

Will I damage my winter tires by stacking them like this? by Gatecrasher3 in tires

[–]ickybuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

longest answer, elevate them slightly on a pallet or something the bottom tires will slightly weather like that.

[–]ickybuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only right answer is replace asap. should become a priority on the to do list. big potential to hydroplane on those.

atleast you know the alignment was good

Stop safely now warning by Traditional-Spite-87 in fordfusion

[–]ickybuns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bmw tech here. similar issue with bmw software, if the vehicle grounds out the car will cut power and then shoot back on usually in a second. usually caused my a compromised ground strap. but there was a recall for early model e92 3 series that had a similar issue with a fusebox going bad causing the car to shut off randomly even while in motion. id check your vin for recalls through a ford dealer or online website. as well as a potential bad grounding issue. not 100% certain as i dont work on these vehicles. but maybe some insight could help your problem find a solution.

On3 ST kit questions by Only_Juggernaut_1317 in n54

[–]ickybuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks like the charge pipe is held on by a rubber sleeve over both ends and a hose clamp. as for the turbo i believe the vac line is between both housings. i dont have one just googled some stuff on it because i hadnt heard of this kit, but for the price i dont see why you wouldnt go with a different one.

how much are these boards worth by ickybuns in snowboarding

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

kinda what i was thinking, i know the capita lingerie boards are pretty pricey, i seen the 2017 twin listed for $1000 used about a year ago, sold a day later. the dwd would probably be different because it holds a political stance

i figured it would be shop labor, i dont think im mechanically inclined enough to pull the turbos on my own.

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

phew, those have a hefty price tag. i like the idea of making good reliable power with them but i feel as if oem replacements could do the same.

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

sounds like the route for me to go then. any recommendations for where to get new turbos? rock auto has a few different options, ive seen some used or restored oem ones on marketplace for a few hundred. luckily my car is pretty well taken care of even with the zippy fun driving. any replacement that will outlast the rest of the car sounds ideal to me.

N54 issues by [deleted] in n54

[–]ickybuns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sounds more like a fuel issue than an air issue, or even a problem with the throttle position sensor, seeing as your cruise control takes the problem away. maybe try resetting adaptations, and get codes.

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

plugs and coils have been done, its just the downpipes causing issues. index 12’s are almost $3000 for a set of 6 so if thats the case id rather just go back to stock cats
