mattarosa Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Damn and I thought you had retrofitted them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted November 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I think it's an expensive retrofit for something you only use for a season, maybe two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danyutz Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Got myself some new LEDs for sidelights and number plates - mine were starting to flicker, these, by the seller are better quality. Once they're on, i'll take some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I was thinking about replacing my parking lights with CREE (that's how the ones in the second picture are called, as far as I know) leds too, since they're actually the brightest available. Are these any good, compared to SMD leds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Haven't installed the sidelights yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reedo Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 This should of been standard! Flush AUX fit.where did you get this from i need this!!I bought an AUX adapter like this one.I then plugged it in the back of the CD player, where there's the Magazine "socket[?]" or entry.Then pulled the cable through the dash and now I'm going to replace the "jack-to-jack" cable with this "father-to-mother" cable. But I recall you answering my previous posts about the install..did you plug this kit straight into the back of the factory stereo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted December 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Plugged the kit in the back of the cd-player, not the stereo.I didn't got the "button" from nowhere, i did it - drilled a whole in the fake button, plugged and glued the aux.

Danyutz Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Changed the thermostat - temp goes to 90 now Changed the accessory belt with a Contitech, old one was busted!Raised the car on the elevator and gave it a good clean underneath and in the wheel wells (had to remove the salt deposits) - 1st wash on 2015, lol.

Danyutz Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Lately my car developed some technical issues, as I posted in another thread, it judders sometimes at full throttle but in low rpm as well (weird). Found some cracks on the ignition coil, but after I changed the thermostat, the juddering stopped ( the joys of full throttle! ). We've experienced cold weather, up to -25, car always started in the morning, can't complain, but due to the short trips, I noticed it blew oil on the dipstick and found gunk on the breather pipe. A while ago I got engine light coming on, after checking it, got me some errors:17559 - Long Term Fuel Trim Additive Air; Bank 1; Range 1: System too Lean and17623 - Fuel Injector for Cylinder 3 (N32): Short to Plus, which i blamed the oil breather for gathering gunk and sending it into the air filter's box. Cleared the errors all good. Last weekend, oil light came on flashing with no buzz, i thought i need to top some oil, even tho i regularly check that and tire pressure. Topped a little bit, all good again. Engine light came back a few days ago, read it, it was the same 17559 - Long Term Fuel Trim Additive Air; Bank 1; Range 1: System too Lean, cleared and it came back the next day.Today i finally opened the air box, cleaned it, throttle body, removed and cleaned both the oil breather and pipe, put them all back - car struggled to start for a few times and when it properly did, farted a lot of blueish smoke, but then ran smooth - i think it has to do with the intensive cleaning. Cleared the upper error and on my way back, the oil light was flashing again (wtf?!) - now I blame the oil pressure sensor, i'm going to change that as well.As for the juddering, I asked a mate to borrow me his coil, just to remove doubt - if it runs well with a proper one, I'm gonna buy a new one.So, here's my story, I'm afraid that these things are opening a path for a more expensive engine repairs - and if I didn't took care of this little fella, nobody did - but hey, 2.5 years of good maintenance, don't excuse other 12 of bad treatment, no? Sadly, most of my modding plans are on hold, due to budget, I've got a trip to Geneva coming in March too.
