    Model and year of your car please?
  2. 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.
  3. Loren
    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)

    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
  10. 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
  11. Loren
    What are you really trying to?
  12. Loren
    Try 7375 or 7371
  13. Loren
    Try 5160 or 5158
  14. Loren
    Why? Did you steal the car? :lol:
  15. 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.

    You mean... www.sunsetimports.com Loren, they both work. Yes, but Sunset Imports advertises www.sunsetimports.com.

    The valves are switched via electrical solenoids but the valves are moved by engine vacuum. Usually engine vacuum comes up pretty quick after the engine is started.

    Not really, it varies by car model and even model year.
  21. Loren
    Try 9185 or 9193 Thanks for the quick reply, Loren. Neither of those codes worked...any other suggestions? Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  22. Loren
    Generally speaking PLDPROD status means your car is usually built within a couple of weeks.
  23. Loren
    Double check the black relay part number.
  24. Loren
    Are you sure it is not 1551? What model and year car?
  25. Loren
    Try 9185 or 9193
