What did you do to your MK6 today?

[GolNat]

I replaced this today. Torqued the 10 screws down to 11 newton meter. Tightened in this order View attachment 251371

Did you replace the inside diaphragm piece with the heavy duty one?

I never tightened in that pattern and all 4 have been fine lol

I've only had to replace my PCV once, so this statement made me ugly laugh lol

Ordered a 3 lb lithium battery to replace the boat anchor that’s in the car now that can’t have much life left in it. Best part… only $230, not much more than an Autozone special and is rated for the same cranking amps as one of the less expensive standard options.

Replacing that does not require the removal of the whole pcv plate

Right. I’d upgrade the insides if I replaced the whole PCV assembly tho.

Oh shit there was an order to tighten those? Well, it hasn’t blow up yet so…

Never would have thought about a pattern on that. I just snugged 'em all down in no particular order

Do you do the star pattern on wheel lugs?

I don't think testing will ruin anything, do you know if these pumps use the gas to cool the motor brushes? Are their motor brushes in these?
I just read that distilled water would work as it's nonconductive and or mineral spirits/stoddard solvent.

I'm not sure if they do or not. I was only gonna run it for a few seconds just to make sure the fuel line wasn't leaking and that the solder job didn't cause any sparks when it got power. I'll grab some distilled water and test it out sometime this week

I replaced it because of an oil leak. The diaphragm was fine with no squealing. But now I think the oil leak might be coming from my camshaft position sensor. I’m not getting any codes just a slow weeping oil leak. Maybe I should just look for a new gasket/o-ring. it's looking kind of like this. I clean it and its back in a weekish like time.

Hooked up a couple car batteries to try to weld a nut onto my flywheel bolt. Unsuccessful, and I set my jumper cable alight, but I'm gonna try again with a better idea.

Replaced the fuel filter over the weekend along with the PCV front breather hose since the insulated sleeve was super tattered.

Yeah, wheels cylinder heads, anything that could cause a big problem if it were to fail.

Finally received the LED tails w/ sequential turn signals from Supernova. Planning to install them this weekend!

Just bought 2 of these for my cars. The foam is stupid flimsy but I see why its needed.

Finally received my custoarmor leather floor mats after what felt like 6 months and a new keychain addition...

Does the front passenger one accommodate the BT module?
