    It’s always like that, once something brakes it seems like several other things line up to suck your bank account dry.

    Weather is getting warmer and with the snow and ice melted you can at least see where the potholes are.

    Thank you Lee! The GTI site I belong to also gets a lot of spammers.

    Don't click any of the links they post. I can only imagine what would happen. :Dead:

    Thanks. The wife really liked it, but at the time she had 2 SLK's and the mini and couldn't drive it anymore so it needed to go.

    So did the problem happen when she was in the middle of the street race or after? :D My dad was always into cars but I don’t know if he realized how my mom drove. She was insane. I loved riding with her. Once on the way to get food we were in one of my dads cars, a Triumph I think I was very young, and she got in a race with some dude. Later he had a 70’s Challenger with a 440. I would ask her to squeal the wheels, she would light them up alway down the road. To funny.

    Got ‘er done, mainly.
    Took all of yesterday (Monday) and half of
    Sunday and half of today.
    This is a staycation week for me.

    Drilled through the bolt (actually mostly
    just outside of the bolt as I had a very
    hard time keeping the hole centered on the bolt, then tapped the hole and put a new
    stud in (that took a good part of this am).
    A 90 degree drill adapter was crucial for this
    since I didn’t put it in service mode and
    spacing was too tight for a drill otherwise.

    Got it all together (except for the front upper
    and lower heat shields and the top oxygen
    sensor bracket to the tensioner) and refilled
    and bled the coolant and topped off the oil
    and it appears to be running soundly without
    leaks or new noises or codes.

    Still have a bunch of tools to sort and put
    away, but none of the remaining stuff is urgent.

    When I was done, someone had parked less
    then 2 feet behind me, and I have 3 foot 2-piece
    Race Ramps, so just when I figured I could
    back up a little more then halfway down, set the
    Ebrake hard, and use reverse to slide the
    ramps forward out from under me (hold my beer
    and watch this), he left.
