P2 PCV Replacement - Notes for the Uninitiated (from the recently initiated)

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to call out a few things I encountered during my first P2 PCV replacement. Things that delayed the process by days and challenged my sanity at times. Apologies for any redundance - I did read quite a few threads on the topic and used several youtube videos as reference so ...

Major drop in MPG after Do88 Intercooler upgrade

Have now been through 3 full tanks of 93 octane. No change in driving conditions / habits. Air filter was also chan...

DIY Nordkap Blue Leather Dye

IMG-2875.jpg I realize there may be some purists that object this post, but I was recently able to get pretty decent results mixing my own Nordkap Blue from three separate Angelus leather paint colors - total cost just under $20 on Amazon. Because it was entirely experimental, I don't have the exac...

Re: Hazard Lights Blinking When Locked! Hazard Switch Removal / Replacement?

The hazard light button is integrated with the vents and it comes out as one piece; both vents with the button in between. Use a plastic pry tool and try to pull it out evenly. It can require a bit of force - which can be unsettling when dealing with the often fragile interior parts, but worse case ...

Re: 2011 C30 T5 shudders under load at high speed, check engine light on

How old are you spark plugs? Worn plugs could cause an engine shudder... Have you checked the condition of your axles? Shudder under load is often a sign of a worn axle. I drove my C30 with a torn CV boot for over two years and figured I would start to hear that familiar clicking sound when I turn w...

Re: Strange misfire issue - have googled myself silly

@RickHaleParker - In my haste I omitted the text from the code. Thanks for pointing that out.

Strange misfire issue - have googled myself silly

Please forgive me for adding yet another misfire post to the collective millions but I am at my wits end trying to sort this out. Cutting right to the chase: Recurring codes PO351 and PO352 on my 2009 C30. Started when I changed the plugs for new NGK Iridium IX doing routine maintenance. Plastic tab...
