Makes you think it's just greenwashing. Just ticking a box for green credentials or some sort of planning requirements but totally unsuitable for expected use. We have a new supermarket that's green with 10 x 7kw chargers installed for customers who spend 20mins max shopping - they don't get any use - could have had a single fast charger. The opposite of your hotel issue. Totally agree with your comments about Tesla superchargers, never any toilets or 24/7 food.

@@theweekthatis Only 50% of a lithium battery is usable after being recycled, and most councils can't be bothered to pay for the recycling as it's expensive so it goes into landfill. Furthermore, other rare materials are also in your iPhone, quite a lot of which are mined by children who are paid pennies.

Who do you think buys the phone in the first place before it gets refurbished? What a crazy thing to say. I buy a new phone every year or two, then my wife has it for a year or two, then my Dad has it for a year or two. Then I use it for another couple of years as my backup camera for KZfaq. After about 8 years I normally get a new battery in it and sell the phone on facebook marketplace. The video you were watching was recorded on an old five year old iPhone. My iPhone is the single most important thing I own, so I like to have one that is new and reliable. But sure, carry on with your preposterous argument.

What's this connector for
@Goodbye_Megaton5 күн бұрын
This particular one, is used on a handful of connectors in the wiring harness of Audi's and Volkswagens. This exact one, is usually used on things like coolant temperature sensor, knock sensor, brake pad wear sensor, hood contact sensor, and A/C compressor sensor. I think it's even used on brake fluid level sensor. Sometimes they corrode, rodents chew the wires, or they just mysteriously sever cleanly like they've been cut. Your air conditioning stop working in your car? Check the electrical connector for a break in the wire. Knowing that, saved me possibly $500-$1000 recently on my Audi A4 B7. It was severed like it had been cut, about 1/2 inch out from the connector. I have a temp fix on it, but this video has helped me understand how I am going to take it apart and fix it permanently.

Big difference now between 'OE' parts and 'OEM' parts.. 'orignial equipment' and 'original equipment manufacturer.'. A lot of OE parts are outsourced ( China), OEM means as fitted to the vehicle originally and should be a much better quality... the manufacturers don't care too much for the post finance owners now, so 'OE' parts are usually supplied by the parts department. Trouble is a lot of JLR stuff is China origin to start with now anyway... hence the TERRIBLE reliability issues they are becoming renowned for.

I’ve got a physical O2 SIM and an EE eSIM which I use as a data back up when I have no O2 signal. EE eSIM is a nightmare and never works as a transfer. When I upgraded, EE had to send me a physical SIM in the post and then I had to request to have it changed to an eSIM. It’s so backwards compared to the regular SIM which is why I’ve never changed my O2 SIM to one.

@@theweekthatis I've done this before, once, but I followed ETKA instructions which tells you to *first* set the pump lift, *then* set toothed belt on rollers etc.. I think it makes more sense to do it like you do...fit the rollers, fit the belt, set the lift, and finally tighten the sprocket. I don't have the that fancy counter hold and it is a pain and stressful without it. I don't dare tighten the thing to 160 nm with the pump locked. I do 60 nm or so, release the pump lock, and then go the full 160 nm. Unfortunately this made the timing out of whack. After turning the crank 2 turns the lift is too low at TDC mark. I fix this by adjusting the rollers and make sure I have 0.55 mm lift after rotating the engine. Then I'm ready for dynamic timing.

Pretty damp good video. I have an LT35 and have been having issues with getting my pump timing correct. The ‘cloud’ feature on VCDS is something I’m looking forwards to utilising. Unfortunately LT35’s aren’t so easy to ‘set up’ as being rear wheel drive access for the flywheel and timing marks is a real pain when working on the floor. An inspection camera helps but a real PIA to set that up alone. I am now ‘armed’ with more information regards these things)I have ‘timed’ this pump at least 20 times.. long multiplication is a thing! Anyhoo thansk again..
@theweekthatis2 ай бұрын
The thing is, the whole point is the ECU does the pump timing. What we’re aiming to do here is get the base timing correct so the ECU has the most range to advance and retard it. As the belt ages it does drift anyway, it won’t matter to the actual running one bit.

The cam is locked unless you undo the Cambelt cam pulley bolt and strike the pulley off the taper with a punch through the hole. So it’s perfectly possible to do the cambelt without touching the pumpbelt by marking the cam pulley with paint. However, this is the wrong way to do it, it is not suggested by the factory manual, you’ll have incorrect tension, bad cam timing and bad pump timing. May as well do it correctly.
