pasadena_commut replied to the thread Setting water pump belt tension question.

Out of curiosity, if one were to loosen the tension bolt for that belt by exactly N turns (whatever it takes to remove the belt), swap...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread Can brake-actuator issues be related to changes in weather?.

pasadena_commut replied to the thread Newbie bought a gen 2. What modules to replace?.

pasadena_commut replied to the thread Replace Gen 2 hood?.

A body shop could tell you if the bent metal extends to things that matter, like the suspension. There is a pretty big gap between the...

pasadena_commut liked Hayslayer's post in the thread Replace Gen 2 hood?.

pasadena_commut replied to the thread Engine moves with transmission shift?.

What thing? The motor mount? The rubber in the motor mount? For the latter search for "fill motor mount". This isn't a...
