    6970 overheating - any suggestions ?

    I'm interested to hear the results of redoing the VRM TIM with 0.5mm. I got a HIS 6970 when Amazon had them for just over $200 a while ago and it's been forever finicky. I was convinced the fan profile was just awful and it's more than happy to bake itself to death unless I manually shift it to...

    mouse pads aka gaming surfaces

    I bought the Func 1030 way back in 2004 when it was either that or the Ratpadz. The smooth side wore out after around 3 years, flipped it over to the textured side and never looked back. It was actually slicker than the smooth side and hasn't shown ANY wear since I started using it. Sad to see...

    Upgrades for an old Thinkpad X61?

    I think you'll be hard pressed to find a laptop in the $300 weekly special range that rivals the build quality of your X series Thinkpad. If it feels sluggish, you may want to get that new battery or a 90W AC adapter if you don't have one. According to this link the laptop will throttle to...

    Changing CV axle... tips?

    If you've got axle bolts instead of axle nuts, they're probably one-time use stretch bolts. Get new ones unless you like having your axle flop around when the bolt breaks. Oops, just saw you mentioned nut. Anyway, this video seems to be a good resource. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jydxpsh13WQ

    Anyone using the Castrol Syntec 0W-30 German formula oil?

    Hah yeah. It seems like a rare enough event when you consider the sheer number of TFSI's out in the world and the relatively low reports of failure, but when it does fail it does so catastrophically. I got mine used so my first check/replacement was at ~60K. The coating was gone and there was...

    Anyone using the Castrol Syntec 0W-30 German formula oil?

    Ah, maybe it's a regional thing. All of the Pepboys in my area either don't have 0W-30, or it's the non-"Made In Germany" variant.

    Anyone using the Castrol Syntec 0W-30 German formula oil?

    Don't bother driving to PepBoys. As far as I know, the only German Castrol available in the States is the 0W-30 European Formula bottles (1qt) sold by Autozone. You just have to make sure you look at the back and it should say "Made in Germany." I use it in my cam follower eating VW 2.0T FSI...

    Can I use itunes with a windows 7 phone?

    I don't have a Windows Phone device so I cannot test but here's what I've gathered from the internets. Windows Phone natively supports AAC. iTunes Plus (DRM-Free) has been standard since the middle of 2009 so anything purchased from that time and now should be playable on your Windows Phone...

    Dealer negotiation

    Yeah, same deal when I got my VW. "Oh when the ad says it's CPO, that just means it's eligible to be certified which costs extra." In the end I got it CPO for lower than Edmunds TMV and under original asking price so I was OK with that. I'm betting it had been sitting there for a while and...

    Software like notepad++ (encrypted text)

    Create a new keychain via Applications->Utilities->Keychain Access with a strong password. Create user/password combos as needed? You can also store simple notes as well. Sure, it's not a separate full-featured text editor, but it's at least an alternative.

    Any reason I shouldn't buy this car?

    Can I trust these VESA mount bolts?

    Thanks for the votes of confidence. I'm not sure what material the bolts are made from, but the ones I used have a dull finish and are pretty light so I was thinking they were just aluminum. I got them snug to the brackets, but not so tight that they would bend the washers I used. After...

    2006 Subaru Impreza vs 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit

    Don't worry. Since you have to constantly top it off, by the time 10k rolls around you're on practically new oil anyway! ;) But really, as long as it's VW 502.00 approved, it should be OK. I've personally switched to German Castrol since I can easily find it at the local Autozone and it has...

    Long term reliability of an Audi

    For my MKV GTI, the timing belt is supposed to be replaced at ~115K miles. I'll be doing it at some point between 80K and 100K. How many miles do you have on your A4?

    Long term reliability of an Audi

    That's unfortunate. Most turbo cars will consume a little bit of oil and I believe the owner's manual tells you to check your oil level regularly. How much was his going through?
