What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

Here I am all excited about the family’s Sienna Limited AWD. Haha. She’s more or less a Lexus minivan with ottomans built into the second row captains chairs! Just fit the baby seat in the second row perfectly. LOL

I know right?

Fiancé also likes Subaru crosstek and outback so looking into those as well.

My wife looked at those too. She hated the driving position and that CVT. Ended up going with the ‘17 Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate Limited. Get an awful lot of car for the money.

Changed the oil and hopefully got rid of the cold weather squeal.

What is the hose & how is it related to a cold-weather squeal? I'm having the cold-weather power steering groan with the E39.

i'd say that cap has lived a good life.

Correct. Three total. One large (11611727176), two small (11611437560). You’ll need to remove the cabin air filter housing to get your skinny little hands on them.

Seems to have done the trick. No whining this morning. Thanks Peter! #nowhining

We rented the outback in 2016 when we in Denver for thanksgiving. It felt quite underpowered (this was at 5000-12000 feet altitude) but we quite comfortably covered more than 1000 miles in 3 days. So we thought we would at least test drive it at regular altitude and see how it feels. Agree on the CVT tranny, that wasn’t good. It definitely wasn’t wow but thought it wasn’t bad either.

We are looking at the crosstek cause it comes with a manual transmission.

My fiancé’s cousin has the Santa Fe and I agree it’s a lot of car for the money.

Changed the oil, seafoamed it, aaaand fixed a wiring issue with the new fog lights. Well, the issue wasn't with them. The old wiring was worn. Replaced it with no issues.

I was going to wash it and theeeeeen it started raining. So maintenance day done for now.
