    Bluetooth not playing music

    Not sure if this is related, but I had some strange bugs and had to factory reset my phone to make it work. I also had to buy a new, Apple approved cord to direct connect where that never mattered in the past.

    Planned obsolesce or bad luck???

    Sorry to hear about your current struggles, definitely going through it myself with the radio display last summer, a rear turbo last month and going in tomorrow morning for a water pump and timing chain when I noticed the puke bucket was running a little low! Here is a question for everyone...

    A rite of passage...one turbo and water pump/timing chains in the same month!

    I guess I am all in on the SHO! Just turned 118K and my first thought was "I'm going to get rid of this !@#$%" but then I was like no, she gets to be a garage Queen and move into project car status lol which we all want anyway

    Need your advice on Waste Gate issues...Turbo replacement?

    I have a tune from Ortiz. Would that negate any dummy lights from coming up?

    Need your advice on Waste Gate issues...Turbo replacement?

    It was definitely the blue arrow which sucks. I'm surprised more wasn't damaged because looking back, I don't remember hearing the huge woosh of excess pressure under the hood as I have mine vented to the atmosphere for at least a week or so! It will nice to have some ponies back

    Awesome thank you. I have used this shop forever and trust them, but I will definitely verify!

    Need your advice on Waste Gate issues...Turbo replacement?

    Also, there is no check engine light on and car seemed to drive just fine so I don't get it. I haven't been beating the car but do drive fast so I was kind of surprised when it said the assembly arm was hanging and the waste gate was moving freely

    Need your advice on Waste Gate issues...Turbo replacement?

    Well I knew this day would come eventually. Car is at the shop doing a full fluid replacement and the tech had the front right wheel off and noticed an issue with the turbo/waste gate. He said that the right-side assembly arm was hanging and that I need to replace the turbo. Does this sound...

    Please help with suspension replacement.

    God bless you for still being in the game at 202K I was about to trade mine in at 115K because I thought it would fall apart let's do this!

    Seat Belt doesn't work when car is hot

    Update! Though this usually never works, I violently pulled on the seat belt in a fit of rage and ****** it a few times, cursed, and what do you know it fixed it lol. Still happens when it's hot out, but a swift tug seems to reset the mechanism and allows it to work again.

    Looking for opinions on some plans

    I have a basic 93 tune and then installed H&R springs with new struts last summer (close to the same mileage you have) and have really enjoyed the car with just the basic mods that most everyone has started with. Car is faster and looks better. Might as well get hot pipes installed. I think I...

    Seat Belt doesn't work when car is hot

    Went to my local Ford dealer and they were clueless, said they have never heard of that problem. But they also said previously that they don't swap PTU fluid lol so there is that...Good thing it's winter in 3 weeks where I live

    Seat Belt doesn't work when car is hot

    I will stop by Ford to see what they say but it sure is frustrating

    Seat Belt doesn't work when car is hot

    Ok I know this sounds odd, but when it's a hot day outside my driver's side seat belt won't pull out! Drives me nuts. It works in the morning when it's cool but when I get in the car after work no dice. Has anyone experienced this?

    How to check for boost leak

    I went through this a few years ago and it drove me nuts. I just ended up biting the bullet and had new upgraded hot pipes installed (not sure if you have done this yet) and it was fixed. Wasn't too happy to shell out the money to buy the parts and have them installed, but the car was waaaaaay...

    Suspension setup for non PP springs vs coils

    I installed H&R springs with PP struts all the way around with the Whiteline sway bar in the back last summer. The only thing I don't like is the pogo stick front end that some mention, but honestly, I am splitting hairs. And it only happens when you go over uneven roads or bumps and not a...

    If I return my tune to stock will the car run correctly?

    Everything is stock other than thermostat, 3 bar, hot pipes and tune

    If I return my tune to stock will the car run correctly?

    I do have hot pipes, drop in K&N, 3 bar and colder plugs but that is it. So based on what you described it should be fine, but would swap the plugs and put the stock unit back on in place of the 3 bar if needed. *Might* have to sell my car but I sure hope not!

    If I return my tune to stock will the car run correctly?

    I have a basic tune in my car with colder plugs and 3 bar. If I return the car to stock factory tune will it run goofy?
