Random thoughts for the day

Got her back. Ride is soooo much smoother/quieter
I guess the right rear shock was leaking also but wasn't covered under the extended warranty.  Looks like I'm in the market for some new rear shocks.

Hopefully the shocks won't be much of a challenge!  Usually the major hurdle is builtup rust

Bronzie had to trip to the dealership this week for a P0020 DTC.

They replaced the VCT solenoid and the pigtail. When the car was built, they used tape for strain relief but instead of using a loop, they decided to pull the wires tight then taped it which ended up ruining it.



They also replaced a leaking battery and did the hub TSB on both axles.

When the code was present commanded VCT and VCT duty cycle stopped functioning. Data is present again so I think we're good.

I tried to correct the problem with the relief when I found it and it got me a week. The damage had already been done though.

I hope the hub TSB works because the pop ting started after her first track outing. Won't know till next year how well it holds up I guess.

I guess a leaking/low battery is certainly not a good thing and sometimes can make an existing situation worse,its like adding fuel to the fire,also do you know if they replaced the thrust washers.  Z
