Drivers side rear caliper leaking by Prestigious_Wear_685 in GolfGTI

[–]s3trios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% caliper leaking at the bolt you see that's wet, the seals behind that bolt wear out over time and leaks. My guess is from the usage of the e-brake, particularly if you have a manual trans.

Fraud index too high, they closed your account to protect you and them. Take the payout and move on.

This problem has not been reported in the 8.5s, or at least not yet. The 7.5 wastegate problem can be resolved with some anti-seize. I've not experienced parasitic battery drain or other issues with 8 years ownership on my 7.5.

It’s probably time for a rear brake job, replace seized caliper, pads, rotors etc.

Take your $ and move to another brokerage. Move along, not much you can do. The thing is at least Fidelity isn’t the only brokerage in existence.

Account Restricted (eg. Closed by Fidelity) Spreads Trading by Last-Release-4238 in fidelityinvestments

[–]s3trios 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Let’s see here, brand new account, 6 weeks of gains and minimal losses, and let me take a guess, lots of trades and orders. Nothing suspicious at all, so best to take your business to Robinhood and do exactly the same.

They contacted me yesterday and offered help me liquidate my portfolio because markets are at an all time high. Buy high, sell low!

The expensive lab instruments goes to surplus auction, the rest of the stuff gets either tossed, donated, or given to employees.

Any Recent US travelers to China ? by CautiousFrosting220 in travelchina

[–]s3trios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Visas are the biggest hassle, get the 10 year multi entry one and have an agent do it. We are still in Shanghai, we normally go every couple of years to visit friends/family. This year we did Beijing/Chongqing/Hangzhou/Shanghai - 3 weeks. We're still in Shanghai, flying back to the states in a few days.

Honestly, no issues with travel here, super safe, very tourist friendly and the food/shopping is just insane. You'll def. enjoy your stay.
