    :welcome: Best check your tire sizes and wheel widths/offsets first (since you are new to the car).

    I don't think the vacuum in the tank is stored long when the engine is not running.

    The B&M short shifter instructions cover the console removal. They are actually pretty good. Just go to their site and download the PDF file.

    :welcome: This sort of thing has been covered here a few times. The need to put an amp meter in series with the battery. Then remove a fuse at a time until they find the circuit with the drain. Once they find the circuit they need to trace down the cause. Many times it is a 3rd party device that is causing the drain.

    Removing selector knob Note: The ignition key must be in position 1 before the locking button can be pressed. 1. Press locking button and release lug under the locking button in direction of travel using an Allen key, for example. 2. Pull off locking button against the direction of travel. 3. Use a screwdriver to lever the spring clip out of the lock. 4. Pull selector knob up and off the selector lever. Installing selector knob 1. Push spring clip all the way back. 2. Fit locking button. 3. Push complete selector knob over the lock and all the way onto the selector lever.

    Most GIAC installs that I am aware of flash your original DME. So yes, they would need to flash it back to stock. But it will still on the DME that something was changed.

    Model and year of your car please?
  11. Loren
    That will depend on the dealer. If you want to be safe - then have them put the stock program back in the car - at least until the warranty period is over.

    Thanks everybody. Let's assume it *is* this coil problem to which you're referring, roughly what does this repair cost (assuming they need to be replaced)? Are we talking hundreds or thousands? Thanks again! Rick If your car is under warranty (and I would think a MY06 is under warranty) it should be free. US MSRP on the coil packs is $17.70 each (and you likely need all 8).

    X51 solved this problem on 3.4 and 3.6 liter cars. They add the baffle and an additional oil return. Unfortunately X51 requires head changes and partial engine disassembly.

    Sorry, pretty much impossible without a serial number.

    :welcome: What model and model year car please? Are you getting an airbag light? What fault code(s) are you getting? (there is a TSB for two different faults)
  16. Loren
    I use this software on a laptop computer. Car Code Software Review A link to the site is at the bottom of the review. Only $122 for software and cable.

    That ABS block is about $1700 US MSRP - so that is about half the cost. The design changed so there will need to be some other parts replaced too. Lines and some fittings as I recall. You try to convince the dealer that a problem like this should not happen after only 8000 miles regardless of the car's age. Maybe he will give you the parts at his cost - if you pay the labor?

    I agree with pokerjarvis - Have you dealer inspect the coils and update them per TSB 16/07 2820 Bar Ignition Modules (Coils) -- dated Jul 5, 2007
  19. Loren
    Try 2565 or 2563 Thanks Loren. Unfortunately I tried 2560 through 2569 and no luck. Is there anything else I can try? Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  20. Loren
    What are you really trying to?
  21. Loren
    Try 7375 or 7371
  22. Loren
    Try 5160 or 5158
  23. Loren
    Why? Did you steal the car? :lol:
  24. Loren
    If you want the factory embossing then you will have to buy new seats. Try www.carnewal.com

    I would certainly take it back to them. When replacing the DME (ECU) you need to make sure all the proper options are set - especially if they could not copy the old DME info. It is also good practice to run a diagnostic on all the car control modules at that time. And, of course, they should have road tested the car.
