I suppose you could remove the upper intercooler hose and nurse it to a warm parking place. ...Lee Thank you for the idea it worked! The car has been dead for a week in -20C weather. I unhooked the upper interco...

When turning the car into POS II, the fuel pump relay ticked, however the fuel pump made no sound at all. I folded down the back seat and removed the carpet near the trunk. Under the t...
