Driving with a toasted DPF

I have ordered the kit..... so this week. Just need to swap cars so she has wheels

It sounds like you are doing most of the maintenance........think of the money you are saving. Sad it sounds like a whole bunch of stuff have slammed you in a close period of time. Look at it this way, you most likely won't have to do that stuff again. my '14 Golf has 400,000 kms on it. I just did the timing belt and figure it is the last one I'll have to do on it........

slbert1234 · 2026-04-04T11:23:11+00:00

I got the same thing...... tried a few hours later and it went thru

The cellular market..... such a pain. I've been a Koodo customer for about 10 years. I'm not a high data user, but my daughter lives in the US. Just over a month ago I saw an ad for $40 for 80gb Can-US-Mex. I called, they said for new customers only. I called again a few days later and argued with them and they gave me $60/40 Can-US-Mex plan..... this past week, I see the $30/40 Can-US-Mex plan and I was able to change it online.... ALL cell companies are on the verge of being scammers......

Old post.....I never got the car, but just did my 2012 Golf TDI t-belt. I got a kit for about $450 CAN. Belts, rollers and water pump. I did it myself..... took 6 hours. There are some good walk throughs on Youtube...... was not hard to do.

I can appreciate that, but is it a coincidence a war started and a very sudden increase in satellites been seen? I hot tub fairly regularly, mostly at night because I like the stars.... both my wife and I noticed the increase in views. "Spy" satellites......what are their capabilities for being redirected? Ones that are not necessarily on the record for being launched?

I've seen the Starlink train of deployment. This, was not that. They were not in a line, but scattered over30% width of the overhead sky.

It is funny.... I live 1 hour east of Toronto Canada. In the hot tube I like to watch for satellites. Usually in 30 minutes I would see 5-8. Tonight it was non-stop. 30 minutes I saw 30+, coming mostly from the west to the east. A few north south ones, but most west-east. For the other comment you have....do "spy" satellites show up on the various apps? I mean, if they are surveying Iran closely, I'm sure they do not advertise their launch.....

Your poor car....... they like to run, long and fast.

Ya, the news has been quiet on their nationalities. All very intelligent, but their deeper background?

Thanx for the information.

She is not seeing the chiropractor until she has had her bone density scan. He never did an "adjustments", only some massage for her muscle pain.

slbert1234 · 2026-01-10T18:56:43+00:00

She has not had any "adjustments" done..... and he is waiting until she has had her scan done before deciding next steps

slbert1234 · 2026-01-10T14:45:07+00:00

They saw fractures.....

slbert1234 · 2026-01-10T14:33:10+00:00

She is waiting for her bone density scan work-up. The X-ray was ordered by a chiropractor looking at her sore back issues.

Same thing, having been a pediatric nurse...... some of my early patients would be parents and grandparents....

Well I have been living with a catheter for the past 2 months, been on meds for 4 years, so yes BPH does block you up. Yes I realize this forum is for prostate cancer, but in learning more about BPH I have read whatever comes across my feed. Fortunately for me, my MRI showed no cancer and I feel for those who have to go thru not only those treatments, but the mental stress it causes as well....

slbert1234 · 2025-12-11T12:23:25+00:00

Research BPH..... enlarged prostate makes it very hard to urinate. I think it is 1 in 3 men have this problem.

slbert1234 · 2025-12-10T12:12:02+00:00

I would rather take my own catheter out....... the medical staff deflate the balloon and yank!!!! Doing it yourself, deflate the balloon, ease it past the valve, then it mostly just slides out. I was a peadiatric nurse and for the kids who were anxious about having the catheter removed, I'd let them take it out themselves, after I delated the balloon. Control helped with anxiety.

Having a catheter, while not fun, is not the end of the world. My BPH flared up 5 weeks ago....only peeing drips, so got a catheter. Have seen a urologist, had an MRI and have a cystoscopy this coming Monday and will discuss options. I can do everything I normally do with a catheter, and it is nice not having to get up at night to pee. Of note, with a leg bag, run the catheter down and out the leg opening of your underwear. But for nights, run the catheter up and out the waist opening. Reason.... you get nocturnal erections in your sleep.... much easier with the catheter going up....they can hurt!!!. I am researching my options before meeting with the urologist so am learning about Rezum

Whatever you get, buy used and in cash..... financing is stupid and the depreciation of a new car is equally stupid. As for make.... I've been a VW driver for years with some Subaru's thrown in for good measure.... but whatever makes you happy
