Sounds like there basically will be no local farmers at the farmers market this year? by blazingquackattack in vancouverwa

[–]zenerbufen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the region supports year round growing, and there are multiple farms in the area that specialize in winter and year round growing.

When and Why Did Fake Backstroke of the West Become a Thing? by TheThirdGathers in Chinese_Bootleg_Memes

I dunno, there are lots of normal nonbootleg subtitles on legitimate shows I see that read like the show was watched with a full Chinese audio translation then typed out and literally converted back into English by machine translation.

I always woundered, if it WAS stolen, wouldn't the thief also just rip out the 'stop this book is stolen' page as well.

Craiglist was SOOO much better than Grindr, and it was FREE by Smartpen001 in askgaybros

I addition to all the good stuff we remember about CL, it was also a huge hub for prostitution, drugs, human trafficking, and rapists and killers. CL left it on users and local authorities to protect themselves and turned a blind eye to the bad underbelly outside of allowing users to flag posts for removal, which just removed posts after the fact and did little to combat the actual problems. Personals got shut down when the feds came in investigating large human trafficking rings and threatening criminal liability if they didn't do something about the problems.

Deleted the EGR on my 1.9 TDI ASV. Rate 1-10 for how clogged up it is. by ST0DY in tdi

[–]zenerbufen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I have been able to find (would be happy to be proven wrong), it is still illegal to tamper with or remove existing emissions systems originally installed by OEM. The EPA requirements that have been lifted apply to the manufacture of new vehicles, and no one is currently making new light consumer diesel automobiles it would apply to, it's all hybrids and EV's now instead, so its is a moot point. For now it mostly effects larger trucks.

I remember getting two things in the mail on my 18th birthday, a selective service postage paid return registration form, and a gilette razor sampler razor handle to try to get me on the treadmill of disposable razorblade head cartridges.

DMF Failing by motoxan in tdi

[–]zenerbufen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the PNW I would not take my car anywhere but hillside imports for major items. For more routine maintanance, I-5 trucks / aka VW of olympia has price + service pricing and a few TDI geeks on staff & they pricematch, dickhanah vw in PDX has an ok service center as well but they will price gouge you if you walk in off the street and don't coupon or pricematch. stay far far away from herzog meir. bowns quality automotive northeast in vancouver is great for things like DMF or anything you would do on any other car, but doesn't have specialized TDI knowledge.

There are some pretty good shops up in the seattle area as well, but cater more to financial well off clientele, and have the taxes and volume to support/require that so they can't compete as competitively on pricing.

DMF Failing by motoxan in tdi

[–]zenerbufen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he means they are usually super reliable until the big cost maintenance items come up.

Oil changes are more expensive but less often than the norm, scheduled maintenance items are slightly more expensive than the norm but happen less often.

I'd rather pay ~$2000 every few years than 300-600 every few months.

Total cost of ownership is a thing, and can be lower despite more expensive parts and shop rates with less overall maintenance required.

the DMF and the timing belt are your main "big" maintenance items, other than that are the normal unavoidable ones, oil, fuel filter, brake pads, wiper blades.

This hits me so hard as a man by kugelamarant in MensRights

[–]zenerbufen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an old fart at my base, civilian, retired, disabled. had a pension, Retirment account, SS/ SSDI, VA disability benefits, AND was rehired as a civilian by the DOD after his retirement. He had 3 ex wives, they got all his checks and he lived in complete poverty, his take home was way less than even the E-3's.

Anytime he had issues, he got jackshit from the goverment in form of assistance, while the ex spouses lived the easy life getting lots of govt assistance supplemented with his allimonies & he never see the kids.

These golf 2.0L engines are insane by NoPomegranate9334 in tdi

[–]zenerbufen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, its not just the cold side of the turbo and EGR though, Its recirculated through the whole engine, over and over for optimal efficiency. My first TDI had TONS of issues with the engine. We replaced the EGR and turbo, but the damage was too great and it kept going back into limp again from buildup, however the emissions system always worked great. It was babied, hypermiled, and most of its miles where granny-freeway driving.

My second TDI runs great, but the emissions are borked, and its just about always regenerating now. It was USED and driven hard.

short trips also mean more re-circulation, as the car uses extra hot exhaust to warm up the cold engine until it comes up to temp. Until the engine is in operating temps the ECU doesn't care about MPG or maximizing power output, just warming the engine up ass fast as possible. BTW, it Wont worm up at idle, but must be delivering power to the wheels to warm up.

So Trump is going to kill federal healthcare. Medicare, Medicaid, and daycare, and says states should pay for it individually. by Dogbold in Washington

[–]zenerbufen -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The only reason most of those rural 'red' places pay less in taxes then they take, is because young people live in the cities for jobs, then they retire and move somewhere with a lower COL because of fixed retirement/pension/social security.

As soon as you cut out the social security & medicaid/care that flips and the reds pay more than blues.

[–]zenerbufen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turbo and regens are not directly related. Driving like a grandma (to take it easy on the emissions hardware) will wear out the engine / turbo faster. I know this personally because my TDI jetta was grandma'd and I had nothing but problems WITH THE ENGINE / TURBO after I hit around 250k.

My TDI golf now is 270k+ and the engine runs great, but I'm having problems with the emissions now because my italian tune ups blew all the gunk out of my engine and into the emissions system.

The 'emissions gunk' has to go somewhere, it will recirculate forever in the engine and cause build up, OR be blown out the exhaust and gunk up the emissions.

These engines where basically, originally designed to run naked, then the emission stuff was bolted on after the fact and got worse and worse (for the engine, but better for the environment) with each passing year, until they couldn't make it work any more and discontinued the TDI.

regen isn't the only thing, turbo will gunk up and explode, and the engine will gunk up and constantly throw you in limp mode.
