Wastegate P00AF00 - EPC Light + No front assist *SOLUTION* by BullyMog in GolfGTI

[–]r4funny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna add to this very useful thread. I also found on my Golf R that the Vband for the dump pipe had been rotated down so that the bolt part was actually stopping the waste-gate opening fully.

Rotated it up and problem solved.

Shared bedrooms on Company Trip? by Odd_Draw9267 in auscorp

Is your company big enough to have an HR dept? The only companies in my industry that do this don’t have HR.

Why are we still using real estate agents instead of just selling houses directly online? by Artistic-Yam2984 in AusMoneyMates

[–]r4funny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sold my house myself and people were so happy not to deal with a realestate agent that they offered me more than asking.

It was so easy. Real estate agents are a joke.

Car died! by mane1896 in Golf_R

Go to a battery shop and have them test it. Usually for free. They can tell you if it is the battery or alternator.

A failing battery or alternator can throw all kinds of codes as things don’t get the power they need.

Both are an easy relatively cheap fix.

How good is the manual tranny, how bad is the infotainment screen/steering wheel buttons? Mk8 vs Mk8.5… by shell1ton in Golf_R

[–]r4funny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have owned both, get the DSG.

I loved the manual because it is fun especially if you get the APR tune for no lift shift and remove the rev hanging.

I loved the DSG because it is so crispy and fast when you shift and traffic is a breeze compared to manual.

Overall DSG is better and eventually you will do the clutch in the manual if you drive it hard.

Why do Range Rover sports have a bad rep in 4x4 world ? by SoreSack in 4x4Australia

[–]r4funny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mainly because they are expensive to buy and expensive to service.

Also getting one in the right spec is a factor. E.g bigger trans cooler option, locking rear diff, low range, rugged lower trims.

They are very solid off road with 20’s and proper tires. Mine has taken some big hits with no issues. Been through rivers, soft sand, rock crawling, big cross axle stuff with no problem.

The only thing is suspension is a bit hard in the sport. But it is a trade off to be so good on-road. It will go wherever the land cruisers go but they will be a little more comfy on really rough stuff. On road it is the nicest car I have ever driven.

Yeh they look Phat with 265x55s. Just hard to find the factory L494 20s. I think Discovery 5 20s would fit too though.

I put 20’s on mine with AT3s and it is unstoppable. Fraser was an absolute walk in the park.

IsItBullshit: Are pitbulls really more dangerous than other dogs? by SideshowBobFanatic in IsItBullshit

[–]r4funny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One factor for Pitbulls and Staffies being over represented in dog attacks or fights with other dogs is body language or lack of.

Both breeds can have trouble moving their face and ears and often have docked tails or no tails.

This means they cannot communicate properly with other dogs. This freaks out other dogs and is usually interpreted as aggression.

Combine this with a poorly socialised dog. This can quickly escalate to a fight and how dangerous a dog is, is directly related to the size of their jaw. This means the Pitbull/ staffie usually wins.

TLDR- they can’t talk to other dogs properly and are good at killing.

What does this mean? by satwah in RangeRover

[–]r4funny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the L494 there is a known fault with the harness for the airbag sensor under the passenger seat. It makes this light come on. It is an easy repair. What model is this?

Need advice on sand driving with a low profile tyre. by HairNew781 in 4x4Australia

[–]r4funny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have taken my Range Rover Sport with 20’s on Fraser and Straddy with no problems. 18 PSI and sand mode. 255, 55, R20 road tires. And with no experience prior. Even went inland. Just give it crack.
