fingers crossed indeed... I feel your coolant woes!
given that exhaust gas -> coolant is the likely HG failure method on the L-series it could be worth keeping an eye on the colour of your coolant.... if it starts to get dark and murky, it is probably the HG..... I drove mine 10k miles with it compromised - so if it is, it is thankfully not "urgent" as long as you keep the coolant levels at the right points! If you noticed that your engine is running louder/lumpier it could be the timing solenoid is failing, I know that can give the car too much advance and ultimately result in HGF even on standard tune without any mods.... |
I treat header tank caps as a service item.

I've ordered a new cap from DMGRS because coolant has been trying to escape. It happened going up a minor ish hill in 5th, temp shot up to 107c, heaters went cold. Got to a flat road, temp dropped, heaters came back.
My car is not liking any LOAD whatsoever so I thought I'll turn the boost down from 19psi. I've rotated the actuator 360 degrees, took it for a spin. Auto Meter guage and elm327/Torque App both say high 18psi, once I got it to 19.2. I'm going to knock it back again 180 degrees later and see how it goes. |
I'm in Club 200.
Woohoo. |
Bravo .... :bow:
