This one fault is the highest profit margin fix for all automotive dealers. One porsche owner took it in, signed the work order...they did a full evap system check and found nothing wrong. $300. Dicks could have said "Lets reset it, check you gas cap and see if it comes back" but nope. A

P2401 : EVAP system leak detect pump control circuit low P2419 : EVAP system switching valve circuit low P240A : EVAP emission leak detection pump heater circuit open Tightened the fuel cap and reset the light with Actron fault code reader. If the light comes back, I'll need to setup an appointment with the dealer. Last edited by shashankmittal; 03-22-2010 at 12:01 PM.

My CEL went on this morning again, after being off for weeks. Bringing it into the dealer later this week (as well as a CCC unit replacement.)

Oddly enough, "Duct" tape is not a very good tape to use on ducts... "The origin of the name of the product, "duck tape" or "duct tape", is the subject of some disagreement. One view [14] is that it was called "duck tape" by WWII soldiers either because it resembled strips of cotton duck or because the waterproof quality of the tape contributed to the name, by analogy to the water-shedding quality of a duck's plumage. Under this view, soldiers returning home from the war found uses for duck tape around the house, where tents were forgotten and ductwork needed sealing, not ammunition cases. Other proponents of this view point to older references to non-adhesive cotton duck tape used in Venetian blinds, suggesting that the name was carried over to the adhesive product. The Oxford English Dictionary says that perhaps "duct tape" was originally "duck tape". This view is summarized most notably in a New York Times article by etymologist William Safire in March 2003. Safire cites use of the term "cotton duck tape" in a 1945 advertisement for surplus government property.[15] The Oxford English Dictionary gives a 1902 quotation for "100,000 yards of cotton duck tape" being used to protect the cables of the Brooklyn Bridge.[16] Thus a fabric duck tape was available to which an adhesive could have been added. In any case, whether it is an error or a preservation of the original usage, the term "duck tape" is used for the product today.[17] Duck Tape is also a brand name for this product in some countries." Duct tape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia P.S. I know the failings of Wikipedia, but I have seen this many other places before as well, and Wiki seemed to have the best summary.

They don't seem to have clued in to the fact that cotton duck is not a tape at all, but a fabric that is also called canvas. Anyway, I agree with you that many are confused

How's the X3?
Can you trade for something more fun for a little while? (No disrespect for the X3, I had a 2005 3.0).
