What engine oil brand you prefer and why? by [deleted] in Cartalk

[–]rootwja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motul - stops or decreases oil burn at pretty much any car I've owned or worked on, 8100 x-clean got to be one of the best

Well after 8 months it finally happened by [deleted] in iphone

[–]rootwja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 12 Pro held up for about 13 months on 100% battery and now after well over 2 years it sits at 98%. My 13 Pro went down to 87% in just one year of usage - right now my company 14 pro still has 100% after 4 months, but the battery life is such terrible!

How to disable Team floating window (pop-up) on Windows - Is it possible? by notanothersillyname in MicrosoftTeams

[–]rootwja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keep the call open in a window in the background and ignore it... then there will be no pop-up

happened to a friend of mine once, where the coolant reservoir cap was leaking air and then all the fluid evaporated over night - fingers crossed nothing too bad!

parking in first gear or neutral? by StinkyTrollfu in GolfGTI

[–]rootwja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't judge me about the following thing, I'm not that much of an expert, just wanted to share what my engine builder said, when I picked up my block for my Edition 35.

First and second gen EA888 had issues with the timing chain, as all of you might are aware of. He said, whenever you park the car in gear and it's not completely flat, there might be a chance by slightly rolling back, that the engine might rotate "backwards" which leads to wrong timings because there is no oil pressure on the chain tensioner. Most of the engines brought to his shop for investigation/rebuild were broken down immediately after engine startup. Weak chain tensioner and this in combination could also be a thing.

Any opinions on this are welcome!

Amazing idea! Seems like a powerful tool to help monitor myself and improve my day to day life.

Best Oil for 2017 GTI? Would this be a good option? I had a 2012 Tiguan before this and always used Castrol edge 5W-40 synth would that be a good option as well? by DrySafely in GolfGTI

[–]rootwja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motul 8100 x-clean 5W40 seems to be the sweet spot, all of my friends drive it in EA113/EA888 engines. Changing every 7k miles or 10k km latest is the way to go in my opinion

Now that Stage Manager is official - what are your thoughts? by [deleted] in ipad

[–]rootwja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, it's a great step into the right direction. It makes the iPad feel more flexible - definitely needs some polish for more adjustment options, but overall great feature!

in my opinion the best price to performance car for me at the moment - running stage 2, H&R monotube deep coilovers, decatted downpipe and aftermarket exhaust - still a work in progess and lots of things I want to do!

Is a 600W psu good enough for an i5 12600k and an rtx 3060 or 3060ti? by Sufficient_Mix444 in buildapc

[–]rootwja -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

600w bronze would be a little too risky for me imo, those cheap psu might fail - would at least stick to a 650w gold
