CDV deleted. Thanks for the help Bruce. And the recommendation on the twisty route back home. Colin enjoyed the drive and likes the shifting better.

I need to do this. I'll see if I can do it this week since it shouldn't take too much time.Quote:

You only need 2-17mm open ended wrenches and 1-11mm open ended wrench. If you're quick in doing this, you lose a little bit of fluid but no pressure bleeding required. A 2nd set of hands is very helpful to be quick.Quote:

No worries. Glad you enjoyed it. Will check Preston's thread for your progress!Quote:

Did you clamp the line when doing this or just have a second set of hands nearby?Quote:

Nice! Make that 12 OB/tan sedans, just added mine. Closing in on 80,000, I'd love to know mileage stats.Quote:

Good stuff. I want Alcantara in mine, but sometimes I really enjoy the OB/sand look. Classy.
Those are the two interiors I would like. Only thing about Alcantara is faster wear, which sucks. Gets dirty easy, too. But it's awesome for comfort.Quote:

Well the offer is still there. ;)Quote:

Yes, at The Citadel so you'd only spot him one night a week or on the weekend.Quote:

The school is paying for removal and paint correction when he gets home next week.

Thanks for the virtual assists!

Is it remedied?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
yes, really strange. I switched the two rear hose back to where they were originally and it started right up after leaving the key in pos.#2 for a few seconds (which i'd done previously). Only thing I did different was say a prayer. Amen!
Over spray got removed?
Love the look of a brand new shift knob.
Detailer comes on Monday. Pretty psyched.
A prayer ? That explains everything ! :biggrin
^yep.
Paint correction and detail today by dominionautodetailingva.com
Never seen the wheels that clean (and the rest of the car).

Amazing results. Glad the school agreed to pay. How much did they charge ?
He told me the job runs $250-275. I think he a added a small "travel charge" for them. Great guy. I learned a lot too. I guess he and Phil from Detailer's Domain are pretty close. He's been to some classes up there and buys a lot of product there.
So that's what OB can look like?
Yeah exactly. And I have another one to compare it to... I guess that's on my To Do list now. After VCG and VANOS seals.Quote:

Gave Colin's car a bath today in SC.
