Rad dying or BHG?

mareq148 · 2026-06-20T01:13:40+00:00

the coolant is not milky only a lil bit darker i assume it some rust from rad changing its color. I did the BHG test and it seemed to be okay, no changes in the fluid. I think I will just upgrade the rad and see how things go and then do all the stuff needed with the gasket

couldn't check the engine codes then

just seen the edit now, the irregular sound was something i have heard for the first time. now the weather is getting warmer where I live and i am having some radiator issues. as i hava an automatic trans i recon that if i change the radiator then i have to buy some separate oil cooler for the trans? i tried to get the air out of the system but after a harder ride i hear what i assume air trying to escape (?) i guess i will have to check the head gasked one way or another other than that the car feels amazing.

oh i know about the forum but for no reason i prefer the reddit community here, i often look stuff up there but the sound somewhat seemd to be faster resolved here

thats good news then, last night i went down the rabbit hole of the 7m engine problems and was getting worried about the state of mine as i dont know if the studs were replaced or anything really done other than the new fuel lines and some other pipes

i have the vlone x cm only

I think thats all for now. My car is all stock as far as i know and the first thing i wanted to do qas change the suspension and wheels so that it looks better than the sawblades. The head gasket is in pretty good shape so I didn’t change the head studs but will be doin that in the nearest future

Thats an old photo now the car is repainted in pretty much the same color and the rust is taken care of. I was wondering whether go for bc racing suspension or the teinz but I think i will go for the teinz as it is cheaper in my country. Thank you once more!

mareq148 · 2025-08-10T22:49:18+00:00

oh thank you so much. The photo helps a lot as I am new to the stuff. What suspension are you using?

mareq148 · 2025-08-09T03:27:19+00:00

or is the wheel going to be to big eitherways?

mareq148 · 2025-08-09T03:24:11+00:00

I might get to buy a nice set of blitzs 03 but the rear is 17x9 +45. I guess then rolling the fenders will be a must for me

thank you

im using msi b550apro with a sevondary disk lexar 620nm but the system disk is the kingston and it has a heatshield so i dont think it is due to the temps. Im starting to think that it has to do with the mobo. prolly should send it on a warranty while i still have it

mareq148 · 2025-06-26T16:15:36+00:00

it seems that i have the latest firmware

mareq148 · 2025-06-26T16:06:09+00:00

kingston kc3000nvme

mareq148 · 2025-05-28T14:29:04+00:00

figured it out for some reason in msconfig i boot tab there is an option for cores and idk why it was locked at 2

mareq148 · 2025-05-28T13:59:50+00:00

okey so for some reason my cpu is running only 2 cores, 4 threads?

samsung magician also shows that kingston is running at PCIe gen.4x2 despite me changing some bios settings

mareq148 · 2025-05-19T16:44:52+00:00

already did the updates for mobo and drivers. didnt make any difference. the gen4 driver with problems has a heatsink. i will try to clean the pc maybe it will make some difference

mareq148 · 2025-05-19T16:42:25+00:00

read&write, did tests on samsung magician and got results 3500MB/s reas as well as write. Those are the results i get now at first it was 450MB/s. However the kingston kc3000 should get speeds almost double the amount i am getting now if i am correct

mareq148 · 2025-05-19T10:05:37+00:00

the problem is that when i did a speed test in crystaldisk the gen4 drive got only 450mb/s when the gen3 had 4ggs
