I think your T6 probably has the Bosch ETB, I'm not sure which year they dropped the Magneti Marelli in the S80... lucky you!

How about a slot machine that generates three random misfire codes?

We wouldn’t even have to go the casino!

I’ve rolled a 140 on one and a 210 on another, though

Your daughter isn’t allowed in casinos, June, even with those pretty hands.

I somehow missed this post at the time! Those are my hands as only the dog went with me. You are sweet! Just before I read your post, i was thinking how old my hands looked at that button

Being stuck inside with this COVED19 I have been itching to throw a suitcase in the trunk and load the dog up and hit Montana! Or even Seattle!! Maybe even Canada!!!

Right now my S80 is acting out... she goes in next Monday to find out what is wrong. I suspect the driver side turbo is sick. 200,500 miles and 16.5 years of keeping up with my boost demands. They have done well! Hopefully it's something simple like a failing wastgate actuator or some sensor fouling things up. It goes from roasting tires one minute to feeling like the catalytic converter is clogged while it's fighting a category 5 hurricane the next minute. So we shall see! If it's a bad turbo my mechanic will be cursing my name as I'll have both replaced at the same time and it looks like a hard job! June

I hope a June hasn’t been washed away.....

She might be hiding in shame because my cam cover is cleaner than hers...

Victory!

How can the cam look so dark yet the head look so clean? Cheating???

Actually I'm sick in bed at the moment... Daughter brought a cold with her last week. GRR! So has that head been off and to the machine shop for rebuilding? June

Thats Earl the 1998. Complete head refurbishment in August, correct.

Thats my fragile little flower above returning from UK at JFK airport - completely empty.

Get well soon!
