Changing my mind about the CCV. I think the fan clutch I put in is working properly, but it's making a noise that I think sounds like ball bearings spinning super fast. I know there aren't any it's just what it sounds like. The noise follows RPMs, and the bad CCV tests I did didn't lead me to believe it's broken. On a positive note, it's reeeeeeaalllly nice starting the car and not hearing the SAP bearing.

Why do they call it a "secondary" air pump?? Is there a "primary" air pump? Or do they consider the engine as the primary pump?

Secondary air System pump kinda makes sense. Maybe they shoulda called it Supplementary Air System.
Removed this Nav system from my 540. Don't know much about it and haven't seen one like it before. It was mounted to the right of the center console. The cd ROM drive worked in the trunk but the screen never came on. Checked fuses and they're all good. Figured the console may just be bad. So removed it.

Replaced radiator upper hose assembly.
I was able to block out the work completed yesterday and move the car to the paint side of the shop today. Final sand was done and all edges will be taken care of tomorrow! My new Maf arrived, but I found a broken button on the climate control unit.
So, 789 miles ago, you figured out that this would be the result. You must have laid down the law for significant others and relations about what would happen if they ever dared reset the trip mileage. lol. Must have been nerve wracking - 789 miles worth.
I think that somehow, some people have too much time on their hands.

I sat in my Touring, in air conditioned bliss, stuck in traffic for two damn hours, 'cause some stupid tree hugger in a red Prius slammed into something huge that was in front of it.....

crazy what ish happens... I recently hit 187666odo and 666.6 trip at a gas pump and went to crank the motor and it started up but the gauge cluster stayed off (no lights no revs no nothing..) possesed, restarted, everything lit up and nothing since... But that's really not even worth typing... But I typed it, (while

Ever since crude oil fell below 100$ per barrel (a long time ago) they don't even give u a reason to own them, it would take like 4 lifetimes to pay for the price diff... I recently was talking about possible cars for a tree hugging (but no dreds) hippy chick I know, about a new car. I was trying to explain to her why she should get a turbo diesel or something semi cool, but nope, even with all the facts (plus me and her boyfriend and anyone knowledgable about cars recommending. VW Turbo d as they had just tanked), and prices she still got a MFing Prius... "Thaaaaanks!"
