I talked to the mechanic yesterday, he was stumped about what could have happened. When I got the car he found several loose or missing screws in the radiator shroud and made sure it was all tight. He could see his repairs were still in place, just not much left of the shroud. Also, the clutch moves freely so not locked up at the moment. Fan blades missed the hoses and transmisson cooler so that's a plus! Either way I'll have the clutch and fan replaced, don't really have time to figure out the electric fan route at the oment. Why would I check the motor mounts? |

I am also skeptical of servicing my transmission fluid too Wayne. Mine is at 178,000+ miles now and never been done but almost ready to give it a shot now after seeing my fluids in the diffs and TC being really decent. The transmission works perfectly so now would be the time to do it rather than once it starts complaining.
I have big month coming with a Pirelli tire test in Homestead next week followed by the first Trans-Am race of 2020 the following week in Sebring and I get a couple of weeks after at home before heading back to Sebring for the IMSA 12 Hours of Sebring. Those 2 weeks are already scheduled for OFHG and CCV on both the X5 and E46 so maybe right after the 12 Hour I may plan on the transmission service.

Jeepers, OB - and I thouht MY dance card was full.... I've got about 3,000km of road trips in the next two weeks - hence not pulling the transmission apart this weekend!
*edit* BTW, OB - meant to ask - what trans is in your 3.0i - a ZF or a GM? It's a facelift so I'm guesing its a ZF 6HP26 too?

Forgive my posting about the issues yesterday (at -11°F) with my SO's F25, but I know that many of the long term members check in here.
After an uneventful start in the 30°F garage the SO drives to work down the highway at freeway speeds without issue. Stops for a coffee, shuts engine off. Comes back out with coffee and NO START, just cranking. I get the call and start out with the Creator 310 in hand. Get there and I wanted to push it up into a parking space away from the active fuel pumps. She gets in and I try to help her get it into Neutral. The damn thing then starts up normally Get her to work and I drive the F25 back home and all day without any recurring issue. Here is a picture of the codes that were present I have had no success in finding these specific codes (1F4B08 and 1F4A08) anywhere in my usually successful Google searching. Does anyone have an idea or a link to these code descriptions? Fuel Pump Relay???? A head scratcher........Please let me know if you have any details on these codes. PS: I have also posted in the F25 Forum. Thanks, Mike

Completed my "brake" cleaning.
1. Green scrubby pads are awesome! 2. Brake pad clean up with 400 & 600 grit removed all visible plastic traces, but it still has an occasional squeal 3. I recommend CBC brand brake cleaner and as an added benefit even outdoors it's a cheap high 4. Hot disks LOVE plastic bags.... Sent from my SM-A730F using Tapatalk

Thanks Andrew. I'll see if it's available at the chemical store. Everything is in its own type of store here...
Don't know why for sure, but I have an idea why it's that way Sent from my SM-A730F using Tapatalk

Did a full front brake service last week with a full brake fluid flush and noticed the rears were low as well at just over 1/8" remaining. (Fronts were just under 1/8") Definitely could have got 6 more months out of them but it just bugged me all week that my brakes were not 100% so ordered everything from FCP and did the full rear brake service today with rotors, pads and sensor. Now my brake service is a complete 100%.
The 25mm spacers wanted to be a problem, they had set up a homestead on the rear hub/rotor
