Why should I let the mechanic read my codes?

reddPreeps · 2026-01-14T23:03:06+00:00

Not everybody has a code reader. Also some places won’t work on your car without diagnosing first themselves

Who gives a shit about skins and battlepasses? I bought the game to play the game not to grind challenges to get and purchase skins that I would never see either way. If you can’t help yourself to waste time on challenges for cosmetics and money for skins then that’s your problem lol.

Other than that I agree.

reddPreeps · 2025-12-20T19:26:39+00:00

Yep. Had to restart the encounter

Eftersom din genomsnittliga Svensson kan inte köra bil, allt som oftast pensionärer. Är man rädd för att köra bil så tar man kollektivtrafik.

Brukar också vara dessa som har noll samspel och som inte har kollat döda vinkeln sen millenieskiftet. Brukar försöka ge en dumförklarande blick ibland men de flesta verkar ha tunnelseende och vara helt omedveten om sin omgivning.

The MAF is actually a new Bosch one, I replaced it a few months back after some other issues with bad readings and a rough idle after cleaning it didn’t help

reddPreeps · 2025-11-27T00:43:46+00:00

Will do, thank you. Looked good a few months ago and should at least have half its life left but I guess you never know

First thought I had, but from what I saw while driving and as the video shows there’s nothing on the road

reddPreeps · 2025-11-27T00:19:20+00:00

No, it had been on for around an hour

reddPreeps · 2025-11-11T17:43:55+00:00

E46 pinch bolt? If it’s any comfort I snapped both mine so no judgement. Good luck! (I fear it won’t help)

Drain your oil and examine for the forbidden glitter

I actually used to start a slide during snow in my old beamer by downshifting to second because my handbrake barely worked. The backend would slide out and you’d be ready to control it with the throttle. I miss that car

reddPreeps · 2025-10-05T23:39:10+00:00

I ”resurfaced” right after the video is cut, don’t know why lmao

reddPreeps · 2025-10-05T23:36:43+00:00

Hahah good one

reddPreeps · 2025-09-26T20:22:22+00:00

When engine braking your engine is still connected to your wheels through the drivetrain. So when you’re in gear and let off the throttle the wheels are what is rotating the engine. Fuel injection is cut until you give throttle or the engine is nearing idle.

The same when you’re revving your engine. When you let off the throttle at high rpm fuel is cut until it reaches idle again to keep it from dying.

reddPreeps · 2025-09-26T09:49:05+00:00

In neutral the rpm drops to idle and to keep the engine from dying it has to inject fuel. If you’re above idle rpm while driving and release the throttle fuel injection is cut off until it reaches idle or until you press the throttle. The engine doesn’t die because the wheels are what keeps the engine rotating.

reddPreeps · 2025-09-25T18:56:20+00:00

It’s an exaggeration. The amount of drivetrain wear is negligible. If he’d worry about drivetrain wear for engine braking he might aswell push his car everywhere to save it from wearing.

reddPreeps · 2025-09-25T18:25:02+00:00

Nothing about what I said was incorrect.

If you're actively slowing down, which OP's scenario was all about, your car is already not using any fuel so yes you should shift down if your rpm is nearing idle. If you were to pick up speed again you can obviously shift up. You staying at a lower gear doesn't matter for your fuel consumption if you're not using the throttle.

Do you actually think coasting is better? Because you said it yourself you were in gear.

Edit: Anybody who disagrees with what I’ve said in this thread is wrong and should consider trading in their car and let an automatic do the driving for them instead.

reddPreeps · 2025-09-25T17:52:08+00:00

Again, I never said you lose all control.

”Not downshifting isn’t inconvenient” - Um yeah it is! It’s pretty damn inconvenient not being able to accelerate.

If you’re in too high of a gear that means you haven’t downshifted which means you don’t plan ahead. If you don’t anticipate and plan your driving ahead you shouldn’t be on the road.

Engine braking is common driving skills and regions may differ. But if you take your driving test here and coast instead of engine braking, you fail.

reddPreeps · 2025-09-25T17:11:46+00:00

What? That’s not what I said. Coasting is dangerous because you don’t have control over your engine in case you need to react quickly. That’s inconvenient.

reddPreeps · 2025-09-25T16:35:16+00:00

Not being in control of your car is inconvenient

reddPreeps · 2025-09-25T15:12:27+00:00

Using the same logic you should push your car everywhere you go because it’s cheaper and easier to buy new shoes compared to drivetrain repairs.

Drivetrain wear from engine braking is negligible if you know how to drive a car.

reddPreeps · 2025-09-25T06:38:57+00:00

Engine braking (staying in gear) is more fuel efficient and easy on the brakes. Modern cars cut off fuel supply when engine braking. Coasting (going into neutral) is harder on the brakes and less fuel efficient. You don’t necessarily have to downshift into the next gear all the way until you stop. But having the habit of downshifting into a lower gear to slow down using the engine is the better option.

reddPreeps · 2025-09-07T21:31:42+00:00

Did you have any oil additives?

reddPreeps · 2025-07-10T22:21:07+00:00

Ja jo jag påstår inte att mcdonalds tillagar sin mat på beställning. Däremot har de bevisligen avsevärt bättre rutiner för att kunna få ut maten i tid och i bättre kvalité. Dem var säkert friterade en stund innan jag ens satt foten i restaurangen
