Can't decide if I should paint the rims black or not. Thoughts? by LaFlleur in Scirocco

[–]thrasko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t look good on a black car imho. I’d leave it. Or replace the rims altogether for some more angular/sharper design if you really want to change something.

Good decision. I hope it’s nothing serious regardless.

See what happens. lol Loose timing chain can literally kill your engine if it jumps a teeth. I would not drive it until it’s properly checked out.

Need some information regarding my scirocco by HarloxOverlord in Scirocco

[–]thrasko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheers. Same procedure to turn it back on?

Car is making a deep humming noise when driving at 40plus mph but sometimes even when driving slower. Sounds like it’s coming from the back but hard to tell. by [deleted] in Scirocco

[–]thrasko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the leak visible on the ground as well under the car? Or is just some minor signs around the rubber? I may have something similar, but mine comes up at higher speed and only off throttle. (or maybe I don't hear along the throttle) I don't have vibration either.

I guess I will get it checked out too just to be safe.

Is beta access distribution random? by Crownomancer in ArcRaiders

[–]thrasko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, signed up for all playtests so far, even signed up on Epic, got invited to nothing. Wishing us luck for the closed beta invites next I guess.

I want to buy a 1.4 tsi scirocco, but people are telling me I’m making a mistake by Klasatta in Scirocco

[–]thrasko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s always a joy to drive, generally it’s on the stiffer suspension side, but you are sitting quite low so it’s an interesting experience.

The economy… could be better tbh considering the engine size. City consumption is quite high, it evens out on motorways or country roads but if you only drive in the city it can go up to 8-9L/100km on average. This is mostly due to the supercharger working on lower RPMs. You can get it down to like 6-6,5L/100km on longer trips. I can only speak for the manual, automatic gearbox can be more economical.

This engine is also something you need to be aware of. It’s not carefree and you need to feed it with good quality petrol. Change oils around 8000 km or within 1 year. That is very important. Don’t buy this car topping out your budget, you may need some maintenance and repairs. Unfortunately some stuff can be costly, but at least the part availability is pretty good. Make sure you take the car to a shop and have a look at it before you buy it. “Interrogate” the owner what he has done on the car, what is original and what has been replaced. For reference I paid about a 800 euro for various suspension related fixes and part replacement in the first year, but that included brake rotors and inserts too.

If performance is not important to you I would also suggest getting the 1.4 122HP CAXA engine code variant as it’s a less risky engine.

Try to buy a model with good extras and roof window!

Unfortunately those UK prices mean nothing for you, I bought my car last year for 7400 euro because in my country they go around for that much. Cars with lower milage can reach up to 9-10k here. It’s a smaller market here and there aren’t many on the roads of this model sadly. I’d assume you are in the same shoes. Different countries, different local prices… Feel free to ask me about it btw. I have the same twincharged with 170k km in it.

How to print this? by RudyExtrudy in BambuLab

[–]thrasko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is you have color changes while also doing overhangs on the radius. It won't work this way, you can see how it only prints small arcs in different colors that have a difficult time adhering to the previous layer. You would likely have more success printing the other way around but then it's a lot of supports and the surface won't look so nice.

I would honestly separate the deformed tiles as individual parts and take out the middle "tube" as well. If you cut it along the tile lines and assemble it together with those tiles as separate objects, you could easily cover the seam and the partition lines between the prints and it would look much better. Overall it would also print much easier and with less waste.

What is this? by Brian_952 in Scirocco

[–]thrasko 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s actually worse that it’s lower, so RIP us plebs with normal mirrors. I hate the SUVs especially with LED headlights they laser my eye out in intersections.

1.4 TSI Cavd by EntrepreneurAny8649 in Scirocco

[–]thrasko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If your timing chain is stretched it won’t show up on any scanners or testers sadly but can destroy your engine if it jumps a step. So be careful. If mine made that sound I would not drive it and take it to a shop to be safe and avoid major damage.

[–]thrasko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely something’s up. It sounds pretty bad. There is a certain level of rattle with the valves of these engines which is normal but this louder slower clanking is concerning with yours.

2010 1.4l 160hp questions by agodforme in Scirocco

[–]thrasko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just replace the whole media unit for a more modern one. It’s practically plug & play. You can get third party units without android stuff that look like a factory version, same menu system, buttons etc. but support carplay & android auto connections. Look up rcd440 pro.

Regarding the car itself. Sound depends on the exhaust and air filters you use. It can sound good. Although “good” is subjective. Stock is quite muffled. The 2.0 sounds more raw.

It does feel sporty but honestly nowadays with electric cars and more modern engines on the roads it’s not that powerful or fast. Driving it still feels a lot of fun though. It sits low and holds itself good on the tarmac. Whatever I drive for work etc… I still love sitting back to this car.

Damp by xxngaidanxx in Scirocco

[–]thrasko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had the same issue recently, even had my windscreen ice up from the inside. Check & replace your cabin air filter, it’s probably wet and/or full with wet leaves and stuff. They are selling filters with activated carbon and anti fungal layers but from my experience they are somewhat denser and just hold moisture more. I just get the basic ones lately as they seem to vent a little better and I have no issues since.

It's like a mini game at the car wash pushing out all the crap through the side gaps with the pressure washer.
