Still Fighting the misfire, local shop checked some things and found that my battery cable, the bolt that goes through the fire wall and starter / alternator cable needs to be replaced ( starter also ) before they go farther with diagnostics. $720 for diagnostics and $4000 to replace above parts (parts included) Payed for diagnostics and did all work myself. Still same problem - misfire on cyl-1 and sometimes on 3 ( misfire on 4 was just loose coil from my sloppy install ) work in progress 😞1 point

I replaced the crankshaft position sensor and so far, seems to have fixed the problem. The engine has started a lot quicker when cold and when warm. One of the easier jobs I have done on this vehicle. Although I do have one of these lifts I purchased about 8 years ago, it sure helps a lot (made in Germany): Scissor lifts WWW.TWINBUSCH.DE Scissor lifts1 point

Just to close this thread. The alternator died sitting on a shelf for 6 weeks while other work was being done. A new alternator fixed my issues. I hate when something goes wrong simultaneous with other issues.1 point

On my 2000 C4 I was lucky enough to have nylon screws. They broke of course, but drilling and tapping was easy with a few tricks and observations: Using a soldiering iron to melt a hole through the center of the nylon screw makes drilling MUCH easier Used a 3/16" drill bit to remove the majority of the nylon then used a 6mm x 1.0 to clean the threads Plunge depth is 3/4" Use a "bottom" tap rather than a "tapered" tap so you clean threads quickly and without significant insertion.

Well... I replaced the hinge on the center console today. After reading all that was available, I went with doing it without removing a lot of stuff like the TSB. All done sitting in the back. Not hard to do. You will have to take a hack saw blade and cut off the unbroken hinge collar, then file both spots till they are flat. The U shaped rivet supports take a needle nose plier to put in place. Knock the shaft out from right to left. Vacuum the aluminum curlies out after you do the drilling.1 point
