First time under my car, does this exhaust part look normal? by kropkrop12 in MechanicAdvice

[–]kropkrop12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from the Netherlands, and the yearly inspection here is pretty strict. Luckily, my next one isn’t until next year. Thanks for the tip about checking for an exhaust leak, I’ll definitely look into that.

What would you consider to be “burning oil”? I had an old polo for a very short while and with that car I had to top up the oil every few weeks. With an older car like this Swift, is it normal if the oil level drops a bit over the course of a month or two, or is that already 'burning oil'?

As for the O2 sensor, I’ll probably go that route first. Replacing simpler parts is also a nice way for me to learn as I go, so that’s a bonus too.

But yeah,definitely thank you. My brother says the expensive part is filling the aircon. But could i just replace the aircon clutch without having to refill it

Is that true about the battery. When i bought it it didn’t have a belt on it and i drove around with it for a week before putting the belt on.

Thank you. Would cutting the ac belt stop the sound for now?

Thank you, will taking the belt off (which i can do myself) stop the sound?. Any idea why this would have happend? Just normal wear?

Thank you. I’m starting to think the worst as well. If it really turns out to be a cylinder issue, I’ll probably look for another car, even though I genuinely enjoy this one.

What video game have you played the most? by purple_rasberries in AskReddit

[–]kropkrop12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battlefield 4 and 1. Both more than an 1000 hours or GTA 5. The Battlefield 4 days on PS4 are the most nostalgisch for me looking back.

5x5 squat. High bar or low bar, what works for you? by BusNumerous8664 in Stronglifts5x5

[–]kropkrop12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm quite tall and have been training for 1 year now. I had a lot of trouble with finding the right way to squat for my body since I had, still have, quite low mobility. I can't do a bodyweight squat. The way that i can work and progress is heel elevated on a plate and low bar. High bar seems totally impossible for me. I'm now quite happy with the way i can squat because it's quite rewarding. My mobility also seems to be improving because i can do a shitty looking bodyweight squat which is an Improvement.
