    wish me luck its been sitting over a year...

    got her running and moving but red triangle of death is one, I know I will have to change a cell or two.

    the smart key battery leaked inside but got that working again with some cleaning, shocked it held its programing all that time.

    can someone tell me the best way to prep the fiberglass part across the window on the hatchback for paint.

    thanks! :cool:

    Broken pump does not necessary results in code (if system did not overheat)....the recall will be done in any case, even without codes.

    thanks, once I get the battery fixed up Im going to take it to the local dealer..I heard if there was no code they had the option to refuse to fix it but I will call before I drive the 30 miles.

    You'll have better results when inquiring about repairs if you post them in the Gen 2 Maintenance section.

    Not sure what you mean by fiberglass part? Do you mean the spoiler?
