Re: Verifying 9C3

Another little tidbit of info. The 9C3’s and the carpeted 9C1’s do not have a screw holding the rear door sill cover on. Most folks that are swapping the carpet are probably not getting those trim pieces.

I have two different brands of the Chinese TPMS tools. They both seem to do the job with no problem. I have been using them for about 5 years now. Got tired of dropping the air pressure and then airing back up. I have gotten good at swapping the sensors out at the house. That is the nice thing about...

Re: Tire Pressure System Fault

Do you have a cheap TPMS relearn tool? You probably have one sensor that has a dead battery. Try to relearn the sensors. If one will not relearn, you found the one with bad sensor/dead battery. You can also use the “let the air out and refill method” if you don’t want to invest in the tool. They are...

Re: Hood latch fix?

I just grab the secondary latch with a pair of pliers and gentle pull the latch down and towards the front of the hood. If you look at the sheet metal on the bottom side of the hood where the secondary latch is at, it is not flat. It is flat on the my cars that have never had the latch problem. One ...

Re: Is Bank 2 on the right or left side of Motor ???

You are correct. The 2011 FSM colors match what you have shown. They should have the left and right out of the connection location. Bank 1 has always been the side of the engine where number 1 cylinder is located.

Re: Whole Instrument cluster does not work with BCM codes!

Do you have a scan tool to look at live data on ALL of the modules? Were the codes cleared and did they come back?

Re: Car seemingly running hot? or is this OK?

The factory thermostat is set at around 190, so you are in good shape. That fans won’t turn on until around 220 unless you have the AC on, so 203 is no problem.

Re: Door Latches And The Future

I didn't mean to insinuate that anyone HERE was hoarding parts. It's two or three people in the Facebook groups. Their only contribution is to offer to sell parts. While we do need people who have the parts to sell them to those who need them, they seem to get extra deference in these groups. In my...
