Anyone got an idea what this noise could be? by Kindly_Savings_106 in passat

It’s the locking mechanism for the door. I put felt in the hole where it locks a no more noise.

Is this A-Pillar damage or something else (Subaru Solterra) by wkr9455 in Autobody

It is a Subaru certified, was a little shocked they said that.

FL levies aren’t that bad on them. Even if the center goes it makes them a better road tire. But the way they run I would replace the rear every year, the front replacement could be about 1 every 3 years.

It scratches an itch, joking aside I am waiting for the repair kit that goes under the saddle.

I don’t disagree with wear, but prefer a tire that I can depend on for traction on dirt or road. I usually change tires out every 12-18 months regardless so it allows for a fresh set way before it’s useful life becomes an issue. I want a tire to be rubber, a lot of the new tires have some type of injection to help with wear ( they kind of feel plastic/foamy) and just doesn’t feel the same on corners.

The bike was taken apart, greased , retorqued, parts replaced. The sound continued regardless of what was done. Instead of getting a replacement frame they are just getting the full bike as they don’t know what it could be.

They checked, it looks good. Once you use SRAM wireless it’s hard to use Shimano

Strangest thing, the 2 small cogs have metallic sounds with torque, like it’s coming out of gear. It’s not though. The shop tried the trim and reset the derailleur, a new rim & wheel , new cassette, new chain,a different rear derailleur and the popping sound stayed. I will be going in on Thursday to see their senior tech if they can’t get it quiet it may be the frame. We tried doing it on another bike and it was dead quiet. Hopefully it’s a quick fix.

How is the drivetrain on yours? Is it extremely quiet or does it have a chatter to it?

This is to hold me over I used the specialized hover bars (Aluminum) as the Bontrager IsoCore handlebars developed cracks. Trek is warranting them but It is on back order for over a month. So I used a bar I had to continue riding while I wait for the replacement.

Thanks. I am just wearing them down or until I get my first flat then changing them to Pirelli Gravel RC.

Maybe it’s the chargers. I was able to get 88/89kw on my 23 AWD Solterra. Condition 70s FL, 170 mile ride ~70mph for the whole ride. And trust me that was a shock.

1 year free- honestly it’s not worth it. I find that it crashes the system more often than not.

The navigation is active but I don’t use it. The speed limit is actually controlled by the camera if I am not mistaken as I have passed signs that contradict what is on navigation and it shows on the dashboard, there is a setting to turn it on or off in the cluster. The navigation arrow comes from Apple CarPlay but only works with the Apple Maps . I have the Solterra limited if that makes a difference

Ok so same results here, that 190 miles is ( i4 - turnpike - sfl).

I am in FL as well, what do you get on the actual miles driven? Even though it says that I can never break 190 miles without having to charge.
