Just finished changing it (what a pain in the ass to refill) the fluid was definitely super dirty and old, likely never changed, but no metal or debris in it. Just dirty old oil. The whine is definitely quieter but not absent
Hearing a tiny bit of rear diff whine at approximately 58-61 miles an hour. Below 58 it’s silent, above 61 it’s silent. The only time you car hear it is while on the gas going 58-61 miles an hour. It’s not necessarily loud but I can definitely hear it over my 3 inch exhaust if I have the music...
I’m not fishing for someone to say it’s a good idea to buy it, I’m asking legitimate questions about a topic I don’t know a lot about. And I’m not asking super open ended price quote questions like “what would it cost to fix it” I asked what would it cost to have the timing chain etc. done on...
So I drove the car and it sounds, runs, and drives very healthy. Very responsive, gets right into the boost, holds it, and pulls hard. I did not see the accessport show any knock retard while driving it. I can probably get the guy to do a compression test etc., but I’m still a little confused...
The accessport shows no knock retardation at idle, so if timing was off causing the code, would that still be the case at idle? It seems to me a more sparatic code a sensor
It is allegedly a rebuilt title from 2008, but my current car is a rebuilt title and I’ve had zero issues with it so just being rebuilt doesn’t necessarily concern me as long as the proper stuff was done to repair it. That being said, if the accident was in 2008 and the timing chain replacement...
Financially I was getting at the point that I’m laid off at the moment but this is pretty much my dream daily and I have a decent amount of savings to afford it comfortably but if it’s gonna cost 2 grand to get the timing chain done it’s probably not the best time for that. I just dug through...
Car was tuned at EFI which I have heard of probably a million times and I think is probably reputable. In the event that it’s the timing chain, what would that cost to have it retimed. With winter coming up I don’t really have the time or the space to retime it myself. The current owner has been...
Looking at a 2007 speed 6 that is 95% stock. It had the timing chain and components replaced before the current owner bought it. Car has had the p0012 code his entire ownership, and he has never had any issues with it. The recently replaced the vvt solenoid and changed the oil but the code came...
