- 44c yesterday for us.
|
Changed belts, pulley, and tensioners. Replaced leaky power steering line. While removing the electric fan, broke a coolant hose. Good thing stealership had it in stock, $174 tho.. next on my list is the valve cover and timing upper timing gaskets, starting to leak. Eventually I have cooling system overhaul and suspension refresh. List seems to keep growing as I do more maintenance. I've racked up approx 50k miles in the 2 years of ownership.it's been a pretty solid daily driver. Just general maintenance so far

It was damn 2 deg F here today at 6 am. I thought for sure car gonna do some shit. And it did. I got my first SLS inactive. Reset it, hasn't returned. We will see what happens.
Oh windchill was -20f. It was insane cold. |

Oil service, changed the battery in remote key fob (mainly works, but lock button still won't lock... At least the car modules are ok, whew!!), found the plugs for the headlight auto levelling that the previous owner hadn't refitted after the HID conversion. Good day :)

OT, but me wonders how much of a temperature change/pressure is where there is with the air in the bags. Granted it's a sealed system....
Move the car out of the garage. Let's presume anywhere from 30-40F ambient. Sat outside for 2 days straight. Cold soaked in 0F. Started her up @16-22F ambient yesterday. The minute I unlocked the doors *without even starting the engine*, I heard the compressors kick in and were pumping air.... I was curious so I stood there for like 6 seconds and the compressor kept on pumping air (note, it did not look as if it was sitting low). Fired the car up....did not pay much attention to it afterwards. 1st time in almost 10+ years that I've noticed this behaviour |

FWIW, I was having SLS issues up until about a year ago for about 4 years....it would come and go. Not a leak to be found via spraying the bags, etc.
Swapped bags last year and Nary a SLS error ever since. Have not even replaced a sensor to date.. |
