Also ordered new lifters, valve cover gasket (and other needed stuff), valve stem seals, spark plugs, vanos seals with rattle kit.

Use the settings in the Foxwell NT-510 is how I did it, don't know or have ISTA so on that someone else will have the info.

When I had the aux fan out yesterday, I did have a look at the radiator fins and aside from a few bugs, it looked fine.


I lean towards a worn water pump impeller. I think I went through 5 thermostats over the course of 389,000 miles on my 02 and they always failed open.

Bought a Doorman replacement washer fluid cap for 6.42 USD (Amazon) and it only took 5 weeks to get here in BFEhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d6b7420521.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...318151f5d0.jpg

Using my Schwaben scan tool. It's the ECS brand of the Foxwell 510. Best $150 you'll spend. usually pays for itself the first time you use it.

I have NCS/Inpa/DIS and my friend has also ISTA, so should be no problem.


Cleaned it outside a bit.

I have NCS/Inpa/DIS/ISTA, and been wanting to bump up the idle and never seen that option. I gotta be blind if it's there and I'm just missing to see it :wow:
