Hey guys,
I have a question RE whether or not you guys are familiar with a strange noice my car has been making.
When parked, car off, flat surface, engine warm, half tank
Start car (clutch in)
Neutral
Leave clutch in, no noise
Let clutch out, very faint sound of fluid sloshing back and forth audible from outside car, near or in front of rear right wheel
Push clutch in again, sound remains
Is this the fuel pump, possibly sucking up some air making noises? it really sounds more like a slow sloshing
Anyone heard this?
Thanks,
Josh
Let me just take a moment to say
WHAT IN THE HOLY BUTTF***???

That is over $300 more than the price I was bitching about a few years ago...

How challenging is it to get that subframe brace off to access the oil level sensor?

Couple of unrelated questions for yous:
1. Has anyone that still have their factory hood insulation (part no. 51488193941) noticed that it has shrunk? The side tabs of my insulation barely touch the slots in the hood, let alone "snap" into place.
2. For those of you with a GruppeM intake, do you hear a sucking/whistling sound at a light throttle that maintains speed? I have that sound only at steady-state, but if I have no throttle input or a larger throttle input, then it goes away.
3. I'm going to install my OEM M3 strut bar, is there any particular order the nuts of the bar should be tightened e.g. the mounts first, then the bar, etc.?
Yup, those shrink over time. Mine developed a hole in the middle so I got rid of it completely.
I dont have a GruppeM but my Afe does something like this as well.2. For those of you with a GruppeM intake, do you hear a sucking/whistling sound at a light throttle that maintains speed?

No particular order that I am aware of. You install the brackets on each side first and then install the bar connecting the two brackets.3. I'm going to install my OEM M3 strut bar, is there any particular order the nuts of the bar should be tightened e.g. the mounts first, then the bar, etc.?
