  1. Thanks! I was just worried about putting too much and it squeezing into the cam area, drying, then breaking off in chunks to get lodged somewhere.
  2. One more.. Likely tackling this tomorrow if I have time after doing the timing belt. Did you replace the half moon seals? I don't think they're leaking, should I just leave them alone? Also, how much RTV? Very thin bead?
  3. The bolts I've taken off the radiator have stripped immediately. :/
  4. Did you have to undo the exhaust (downpipe) in order to jack up the engine enough?
  5. Done. Had to remove the strut bolts to swing the knuckle down to have room to blast then off with a 500 ft-lb impact. Car felt fantastic, so quiet. Cruise worked fine so far, fingers crossed. Used Timken's.
  6. Just spent 7 hours working on both my fronts. Drivers side hub bolts broke free fairly "easily" but fought with the hub being seized onto the knuckle for an hour or two. Even with a hub puller, I ended up resorting to smacking the ever living shite out of it with a chisel. Passenger side, spent way too much time trying to get the rotor off without destroying it. 10mm bolts stripped immediately trying to pop it off. THEN, I only got 1 hub bolt off. The other 3 are seized something fierce. Let PB soak for an hour or two, wire brushed what I could of the ends sticking through, even heated with a torch. Not a budge. Coming back today with a more diesel impact gun and hope the PB worked its magic. The problem is the working space for those bolts. Can't get a breaker on them cause of the wheel well and the axle is in the way as well! Definitely budget a good chunk of time for this if your car has some good mileage on it. Mine has 221k.
  7. Sounds exactly how my stock turbo went at ~170k. No CEL, just whirling noise with loss of power. Sorry :/
  8. 221k on 2nd turbo. Wheel bearings in front are shot. 2nd timing belt is due like yesterday plus water pump this time. Valve cover gasket passenger side has been leaking on uppipe, gotta get to that. Heater blower fan is whining - replace. Trans/diff fluid again soon. Check banjo bolt AGAIN!
  9. What's the DA part number? Or what's the Amazon link.. Edit: never mind found it! What's the consensus on abs and cc for these DA ones though?
  10. So after installing this cable again it turns out I may be upgrading to a iPhone 5. Because it has the digital only lightning port, can I use the apple 30 pin to lightning adapter with this? I've seen mixed reviews of that adapter not working correctly, as in not charging and playing music. Anyone using an iPhone 5 with this?
  11. Thanks Jazzy for the reaponse. It's definetely not the fuse. I will order the cable on amazon. Thanks!
