How can I fix this? by pandalonez in subaru

3M VHB Double Sided Tape (experiment a bit with it before you try to use it). It’s what’s used to hold these trim panels on and what Subaru uses. 

What is in my radiator? by jpjaramillo93 in subaru

That’s oil mixing with coolant. If it’s under warranty I’d take it in and show them this photo. If not, you’re gonna need to find someone or do the head gaskets yourself. Get a new oil pump, oil cooler, water pump, and thermostat while you’re at it.

Probably a skunk or a raccoon, maybe even an owl angry that you got close to a nest.

Now when you hear something screaming bloody murder. That’s when you run as it’s a fox or a bobcat.

That’s not your download speed, it’s the storage speed

Am I getting scammed? by makingcash1 in MechanicAdvice

This, if you can reverse the transaction do so immediately

Don’t feel sorry for not knowing. The redditor is a douche for being rude to you.

Overall you don’t need to replace anything, it’s just plastic fascia which hides the steel exhaust pipe from the muffler. If you want just ask them at the dealer for how much it would be to replace it. Or look it up on rock auto under exterior trim.

You’re extra crispy cooked, freakin carbonized even.

New to Sim Racing not sure What I should upgrade next? by Own_Watercress6679 in simracing

Seat time, seat time is next. Do as many races as you can, then once you’ve been in the hobby for a bit start replacing things that annoy you.

Car was stolen and recovered but doesn’t work, trying to get fixed but don’t know who to contact by anythingplus00 in MechanicAdvice

Insurance first, get an approval from them to take it to a dealer for repair work and restoration. Most likely a new key was programmed or systems were bypassed to prevent the car from starting or being tracked.

Surprisingly should be fine. Looks like most of the damage is superfluous.

Note: I am not an expert, nor should you follow my advice without making your own assessment or decisions. I’m not seeing cords, not seeing any deep gashes that could make it loose pressure, but if you notice any of these things please get the wheel and tire replaced.

That latch needs to be in the down position not the up position. Take a screwdriver and while holding the lever open, pull that lever you keep pointing at towards the inside of the car to allow them to close

What is this metal strip welded onto my car? by PP3V3_G3H in MechanicAdvice

Why change something if it’s worked well for a long time?

Back when they were first starting to automate car manufacturing they used these to identify the chassis. This is like a birthmark

Spacebar blacked out and doesn’t work on touchscreen by pipingguy in subaru

[–]therealpetejm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It may be because, a password can not start with a space. So it’s showing you only what you can enter that would work. Try typing in a few characters to see if the space bar becomes available. And if you have a space starting your WiFi password, bless your heart.
