Glad to say, our good folks of MVS are in the 99%!

You're an optimist, Neil ( as was Darwin. )

Regarding draining the fuel; I found it was easy by just removing the valve core in the Shrader valve on the fuel rail, slipping on a piece of rubber hose, and then just turning on the key to pump out the fuel.

I feel your pain ! So sorry for both of your losses. I lost my Bobby ( my Manx cat ) after 15 years of love. A day doesn't go by that I don't think of him. I could go on and on about him, but I won't. And you are right; it is losing a family member. Our place in the next life, is determined by how w...

Hi Manov, I think your biggest challenge will be getting the sunroof trim off in one piece. I have never tried it, but from what I've heard it is almost certain that it will break. However I have also seen a couple of solutions for when that happens, including an aftermarket trim, and another model ...

Well Sveedy is finally back up and running after her burnt valve fiasco. Running beautifully. I do have a couple of minor issues - The ABS light is now on. It wasn't when I parked it some months ago. I'm not sure what could have happened with it sitting. And the regulator that is located on the righ...

I'd reach out to a tuner first before spending that kind of $$. Might just be a matter of reprogramming it, which would probably be less than $200.

I think you will find it easy enough to remove. 4 bolts, a hose and a connector. Installing might be a little bit trickier, but totally doable.

I think people are going to come to regret using PEX in any form. The constant expansion and contraction, particularly with the hot side, will eventually cause a failure either with a fitting or with the hose itself. When that happens, you'll be looking at replacing all of it. Think about the scope ...

As you have already found out, vacuum hoses are a good start.
Putting aside the obvious (timing belt etc), I would think engine mounts would be next on my list.
