I have a EA888 gen4 in my 2024 GTI and I can hear the coolant pump running after I pull into my garage for about five minutes. The Gen3 in my Audi A4 did the same thing

I’ve been following the Friends of Big Bear Valley eagle nest cam since these eaglets were just eggs being protected against a vicious snow storm. Two of three have survived this far and the will be fledging out on their own in the coming weeks. The two adults of this nest have picked a sweet...

Problem with most plastic cooling systems is as they age the plastic becomes brittle and when a leak springs up in fixing it other parts break getting to the original problem or once the leak is fixed and system returns to operating pressure the next brittle parts raises its hand and says I’m next.

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving scumbag.

Oh ok then states rights are a thing of the past? LA county has a greater population than forty of the United States. Maybe that density of population may need a little better than good enough for other areas. Like a top tier thing.

Yeah. Smog is making a comeback.

I’m in the garage near my 25 yo AO Smith gas water heater. I’ve replaced the anode three times and the down pipe once and drain the tank every spring to remove sediment. I am on very good city water and will definitely replace it with another one.

“Overlanding” in some places in West Virginia is what some people do just to get to their house lol. If a road sign says “eight mile creek” you can bet at least two miles of it is in the actual creek. Not kidding. Trips to town is planned around rain storms.

I did also. It includes YouTube music which integrates seamlessly with apple carplay in my GTI. It replaces my Sirius XM subscription so not much more money and I get add free YouTube videos and music.

Here is additional info on the GM recall from a group of YouTubers.

Start stop saves fuel if the engine is off more than seven seconds. It wastes fuel any time less than seven seconds. On my VW and Jeep I hit the off button before I back out of the garage. In my case I’m definitely saving fuel by doing this as I seldom run into traffic that would stop me more...

I had an old Grand Cherokee with the 4.0 in it. It ran forever but everything else in it didn’t work lol. I currently have a new one 2023 and it’s way nicer and have had no issues in the two plus years I’ve had it. The 3.6 and ZF transmission is pretty reliable and the interior is way nicer...

I laughed when he said they are instructing them to put the new engine in and to put the old 0w-20 oil cap back on it.

It looks like changing oil weight and putting a different oil cap on the GM 6.2 engines is not going to cut it. Huge mess for owners of the affected vehicles.

Low and slow gives the collagen time to break down and tenderize the meat without drying it out. High heat and a short time will not allow the connective tissue to break down. Now the pressure cooker is a different animal as the pressurized environment helps break down the connective tissue and...

Why would Mobil1 seek dexos approval for a euro oil? It would certainly meet it but they have other oils that meet it easily. Why spend money on a lower certification?

I found this stuff while cleaning up an old neighbors house.

Yeah both my GTI and Grand Cherokee have inverted cartridge oil filters so I guess I’m just out of luck lol

Maybe I’m misunderstanding but it thought if the oil temp was higher that was because it was absorbing more heat from the engine and therefore the engine would be running cooler

It will be fine. While others think that not pre filling the oil filter is the end of the world even if it’s horizontal or inverted lol
