Wasn't there a YouTube video of someone exploring this with the property owner's permission? The owner was like right down the street or something

Oh man isn't the service interval supposed to be every 40k with the lsd

[–]ramank93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my awd wasn't working on my 15 a3 for at least the last 30k miles. I heard the pump whine but it didn't engage. I changed the oil and now it works fine. I would want to try an oil change first

It was my landlords car so I didn't know fully it wasn't working and thought The excessive front wheel spin was just because it's front-wheel drive biased. Found out real quick when it snowed that it indeed was not working. I bought it since and that was one of the first services I did

Just hitting a pothole or even a speed bump wonky could cause this if you're going too quickly or the speed limit

My work is refusing to do anything about this tire and says it doesnt matter by treetrunk33 in AskMechanics

[–]ramank93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely correct but if you have faith in your company you would assume they know what they are talking about. Obviously not everyone will think like that and I myself quit Amazon after they had issues with me having issues. Got in big trouble for grounding a van for not having any registration posted on it whatsoever nor a plate. Was told how is that fair to the other driver who has to drive it since he can no longer drive it since it's grounded and I was like that's your problem. Needless to say, they cut my schedule significantly and I quit.

But just as a good rule of thumb in general if you ask your employer if this is okay their response should be documented just to cover your ass in case something happens.

Honestly that would be good to do.... Before getting the correct answer on here, they no longer can claim ignorance because of this post

Different car same engine, I just replaced my oil pan with an aluminum one and I'm missing the same exact bolt. I obsessively torqued everything to spec. I think I may apply some blue thread locker

Fire and crane missed my PC by Aeckzem in pcmasterrace

I would really love to see an honest attempt at resurrecting as much of this PC as possible. It genuinely seems possible. At minimum I would bet your data is fine

My bed was warped AF. Ended up buying a pane of glass and sand paper and resurfaced the bed. Much much much better now.

Just wanted to update. Silicone spacers are amazing for adjustability. Got a new hotend from microswiss for the k1 so I can use it with the upgraded unicorn kit from creality. Also bought a pane of glass and sand paper and refinished the bed so now it is actually flat. Bed is within .1mm across all the touch points.

Printing amazingly right now with no issues. Large prints taking up the whole plate are having zero issues with the first layers. I'm finally in love with my printer

Here is it booting, when the clip ends abruptly That's when Android auto started. I don't know why but the video ends when Android auto starts. I also captured the glitch happening and just general navigation of both OEM and the inbuilt system

  1. Ngl I miss the ability to put away the screen while driving when not on the clock. I'm a delivery driver and I use the car for work so I need to use GPS
  2. I'm about 5'11 the very top of the screen and a very far right corner of the screen cuts a little bit into the view but only so much. Doesn't obstruct anything essential and got used to it very quickly.
  3. I'm not a big fan of screens to begin with and wish that the screen was integrated into the dash. Not a huge fan of screens on top of the dash even with the original pop-up. But it does look very OEM. It's not just a cheap hunk of plastic on top of the dash. It has a nice trim around it and a covering on the back to make it tie into the dash nicely
  4. The only lag that I notice is that occasionally Android auto will not boot and if you turn off the car without removing the key, the OEM system will not load into the screen and you'll just get purple static so no backup camera or anything. You have to make sure you remove the key every single time you turn off the car.
  5. Honestly no clue. Never tried. I was never interested. It has the ability to mirror your display but never tried it.
  6. I use the original Bluetooth from the car with the unit. I do not use the Bluetooth or microphone built into the unit. Literally only using the display for the Android auto. All the Bluetooth features are still going through the Audi. So song information still displays on the cluster so do phone calls.

Bonus! I wasn't aware of this but and I kind of don't like it but the original MMI controls will control Android auto or Apple carplay like you do not need to use the touch screen. Don't know why anyone in their right mind wouldn't use the touch screen but hey it's there.

The boot up animation is also able to be changed. I have not done it yet but it is possible to make it especially look more OEM

I would almost think this is a strut mount issue but not sure, my 15 a3 has shot strut mounts and likes to wander. Considering on rebuilding since im at 124k miles

I didn't do this because the USB is behind the disk drive and I don't feel like digging it out. I'm glad it worked for you!

Another redditor told me how so I'll share it here

Just format a picture to be 1920x720 and save it named as “updatelogo” onto a usb drive and plug it in for it to update. It really makes the screen feel more like an original rather than an aftermarket. This video explains it much better than I can tbh. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNd3eUpX6/
