That’s what I’m changing! All my friend’s SMG motors sound like yours. I’ll change it tomorrow or the weekend. I’m glad I have access to other vehicles while the blue girl awaits a new SMG motor!Quote:

LOL. i want to say that i've never cleaned an engine bay like that before, or since - but i did wipe down the bay in the Touring while it was empty (before the ZHP motor went in).Quote:

Use the purple cleaner... used to be called castrol super clean but now it's something else... to clean the engine bay before spraying with the pro prep. Just spray it on and hose it off about 5 min after applying... doesn't get any easier than that :)
All is needed is a small "accidental" spill and buff...errr wipe, of 5w40 on the black plastic bits...no?Quote:

Did you try this pro prep stuff on the bumper and door trim?
