This is amazing, trombone exhaust from a rigged inline 8 cylinder. Sometimes I love the Internet 🤣

Finished up the head gasket job on a 2015 #Jetta, flushed the coolant and oil.. got er down off the jacks... and what do you know. She runs! No codes!

Ended up about $500 in parts and fluids overall.

Some rust related aches, some wonky tool paths (thanks, VW), minor fretting with timing the engine - but in the end, these #SOHC engines are pretty simple, fun little learning experience, and beat the (heavy) snowfalls.

@stefan omfg I want this.
Would be great as well for days I can / have to drive, but don’t go on roads above 40 mph.

Lmk when UK available and / or some #FOSS or #homebrew #nerd #engineer #homeDIY #proactive types build something similar.
Ooh!
@Maker_of_Things

…. Is there a construction kit for electric bikes and / or scooters?

Does this need a head gasket?

I dunno, but hopefully about to find out. Misfire codes on cylinders 2 & 3, consumes oil and coolant.

Topped the coolant, about to change the oil, then will check compression and change the spark plugs. See what we can see..

Coming at this half-blind of course, so prob doing some wrench learning this afternoon

In all my free time (🤣), I've turned into an accidental #HomeNetworking hobbyist, run the automated weekly build system for #OpenWRT fork #ROOter, spoil the giant pile of needy #sheepdogs, and play #mechanic on anything that doesn't run away from me fast enough. Any time left after that is usually "spotting" mechanical things, if it's machinery I'm probably interested. Some #planespotting (also an #ADSB collector), #shipspotting, and grew up #trainspotting (#railfan for Americans).
