I heard Kurt's mum got Altarboi in a head lock
Gave up his shoes real quick
Poor Altarboi Kurt

 

Sawwwwww dudes.

 

Whaddup though, ho?!?!? :highfive:

 

Appointment for airbag recall on the Audi tomorrow...
now...do I pay the $179 diagnostic fee to have them tell me exactly what took a shit? Or do I troubleshoot on my own and/or get my Acura brethren to lend a hand and do some side work?!?!

I have it narrowed down to probably the clutch or this weird solenoid

 

How much is the clutch/solenoid?

 

solenoid looking like $37 on amazon
about same for clutch

 

Are you seriously asking if you should pay someone to check out your cuckmobile while you sit in the waiting room and watch them go to work on it?

I think you know the answer. Yes! Plus bring some pineapple juice to sip on while you wait for them to finish. And ask them not to clean up after they're done so you can do it yourself.

 

it's like I don't even know who he is anymore...
he's changed

 

I'm so disappointed in you right now
we're talking ladiboi levels

 

I had to change. Don't want to end up with 3 failed long term relationships on my hands!
I just don't have the time I once did.
but you're right. I have 4 cars including J's...there's no rush and why would I waste the money for them to turn around and tell me it'll be $2500 to fix.

Honestly, by giving me a **hard** time...you actually jarred me enough to make me lucid enough to know the right answer.

And for that, I thank you. *tosh voice*

 

Did you even check the pulley bearing yet?

 

now that I asked it out loud, I am disappointed in myself.
Thanks guys. That's what friends are for!

In other news...I got the garage looking right...all the tools and still all the bikes and kids toys. I'm back in tinkering business...so many little things to address around the house. Feels great to know I have all my shit in one place.

 

Yeah, check the pulley.

 

Pulley.

 

I did but couldn't duplicate it by hand...oddly too, from what I've read you should hear a noise when the AC is OFF and not ON when the pulley bearing is shot.
What I need to see is if the clutch is actually engaging when I turn on the AC.

 

Exactly
That's my point
Time is a commodity
But there's no excuse to pay for something you already know

 

Pulley bearing will exacerbate itself when engaged
It won't always make a noise when not engaged
Checking if the clutch is engaging is easy..

Check pulley when off.. middle should stay in place
Turn on.. check.. middle should be spinning.

 

So your issue is terrible noise and hot air..
Sounds like oil mang

 

ETCG has a nice video of dumping and pumping

 

Eh, he has like 3 or 4 vids...
I think this is it...

 

Oof...
I'll check that tonight if I have time. Drove the A3 to work, but no Z for 2 days so I'll S2000 tonight.
I'll troubleshoot the Audi at work to at least see the clutch.

Thanks, Matt.
If it's oil though, I would have thought it would be gradual and not an abrupt works doesn't work thing.

 

can't I just route a hose into the car and release one of those little cute shraeder valve thingies into the cabin?

 

i love ETCG. super informational

 

just have mystery meat swing by and put his little mouf over your schrader valve.

 

lmao, i can't promise him that nothing will come out, especially if he makes any sort of effort.

did you see that ETCG had to take a step back...that the vids and editing were just getting in the way of him living his life?
I think we don't realize how much goes into being a big youtuber with weekly long vids.

 

I hate him because he doesn't do shit to spec and is like 'eh when replacing seals and shit.
You spent 10 fucking hours to get to this point, but replace that fucking old seal??? ehhhhh... leave it.
Fuck you.

 

tell us how you really feel, Matt!
what grinds your gears, if you will!

 

i think you hate him cause thoiboi loves him.

 

Wait... what's your problem again?
The A/C system in the cuckmobile to be specific.

 

Grind my dick in your ass

 

LOL...
you would fucking love that shit.
I got moves.

 

You ain't gonna be moving on dis
Like OJ putting on a glove
Chinese fingertrap if you will

 

Where to start?


Oh. N/M.

 

y'all are rude.
i must have stockholm syndrome.

 

More like cockholm syndrome.

Ammirite?

 

sin drome.

 

urite

Cockholm palindrome.

Because you take it the same in the front and back?

 

I do it with such enthusiasm too!
