What have you done to your E70 today?

[Daytonawim]

Today I wanted to look why the ambient door light didn’t light up, and have a Peek at the door seal, because I found a little bit of water under the rear door.

So I did both rear Doors today.

While I had some reckhorn alubutyl, I put it on the innerside of the door. Now the door sounds more solid.

Also I found out that the door panels are a bit squikie, I will buy some tape with fabrik on and see if that will help a bit.

Maybe alternate caption of how did you *abuse* your E70 today?

Didn't occur to me until half way to home Depot that those rolls of shingle were 98# each and that would definitely add up!

Inside is still full from my latest Pennsylvania trip.



So I had to use the rack. Def drove home slowly.

Since I have aftermarket hitch that come out under the bumper the rack will rub going in/out of any steep driveway but since it's a folding style it will lift as needed so it doesn't try to lift the car.

Thats a major abuse of you car

[andrewwynn]

Nah 4 mile drive. Every e70 has gone though worse hitting a pot hole. But definitely harsh. I miss my air suspension on e53 where I've out just as much on the back and car rides level.

Thats also a way of moving stuff, and I think it’s weight way more then the tow hook may handel.
Or are this dryers?

[andrewwynn]

One of each and well within the capacity of the factory hitch. It's prob about 400# total. It was fun to solve and way easier than any other option.

Today, wallnut blast, Engine has run 200.000 Km

The foto begon, is from cyl 6 that was the worst one.

Took them about 3 hours to do the job. Unfortunal I could not go on the Dyno, because it was occupy’d.

[andrewwynn]

Wow and about exactly what I'm expecting when I do mine soon. I'm about 170,000 but miles 273k km.

I have signs of a dying starter so I'll get the blasting kit when I get the starter since the intake must come off to get to the starter anyhow.

[Daytonawim]

That’s a smart choice.

If you do the blast youself, a tip bevor you start blasting, blow some brake cleaner in the hole, so you now for sure that the valves are realy closed.
