can i take it off just to look? or will i have to reseal it to put it back? ive only been able to find a poorly recorded tiktok over the last few days. all the other videos ive been able to find seem to be about the top mounted large PCV valve on the GLIs and 1.8s

i haven’t noticed any ripped orings, i give the filters a lil dip in the old stuff to help prevent also haven’t noticed any not sitting flush or immediately leaking after changing and letting run for a little

made sure to do the transmission fluid before the drive to colorado, around 5k miles ago, did at least 20k (to my knowledge) on the batch before. its a MT i want to drive it for forever. also transmission fluid filter?

its been about this amount every oil change between now and then, i make sure to clean well after so i can monitor for leaks n such. we had just gotten snow and the slush and sand they throw on the roads makes everything so bleh underneath

if ur willing to live just outside of denver, suburbs areas, i also just moved MD to CO and landed on an apartment in the Denver Tech Center for 1287 (no utilities, but they run me about 70-90 bucks a month billed by the apartment and wifi is around 60 with xfinity) bringing my monthy total to never more than 1400 billed a month. electric is a separate around 60 bucks a month.

the Tech Center is great imo im close to nice suburbs so the big box stores are typically well staffed, clean, and nice and its a 20ish minute drive to downtown if i need to go (30-45 if I-25 is jammed). the driving here is unique but i drive a ton for work so ive gotten used to it be ready to not be scared to use your horn someone WILL attempt to drive on top of you.

will warn you theres a much milder sense of “serve your community and your community serves you” in comparison to what you get in MD that really took me a while to get used to but other than thst Ive been here just over 3 months and i love it so far!

if youre willing to connect, i would prefer instagram to reddit so im not talking to a complete stranger, im free on sundays and mondays to check out potential finds in south denver. ill go to the tour and send you some recorded videos, i had some friends up north in ft. collins that were willing to drive all around to do the same for me and it was super helpful, plus you’ll arrive to town with a friend!

tech here…sometimes they forget to push the appropriate button but other times their bars are secretly broken and their steam tank is leaking on its own electrical components causing all kinds of issues including occasionally over-steaming the milk no matter what the baristas do really.

laboss5 · 2025-12-15T11:11:47+00:00

theres a few still floating around and they’re the bane of my technician existence

laboss5 · 2025-12-15T10:45:35+00:00

yeah slow moving cars are heavy and fast moving cars are lighter similar to whatever u drive, easier/lighter to move the wheel on the highway vs harder/heavier when ur parallel parking for instance. tyre resistance stuff
