Had a photoshoot a month back!

Thanks for the write-up rex, feel for you going through this - it's been 3 years since so I hope you got it sorted! This morning while going out for a drive, I immediately noticed how heavy the steering wheel was to get out of parking. It got better on faster speeds, but seems like "VES" is...

I am happy to write that my folding top is working normally as it was before the motor burnt. Burning the motor meant another component received a hit. Next to the hydraulic pump lies the FTM module, the brains for the roof operation. This module houses 4 relays as mentioned previously...

Had the relays on the board tested today. The technician visually spotted the bad one in 3 seconds. (that's how it pays to know your stuff) We then tested the relays, and found the culprit to be a shorting relay, the bottom right corner when looking at the board with relays on left hand side...

It is indeed a pleasure to have your company around the forum. You sir hold a treasure of knowledge and deservedly should be thanked for your spirit to share and help out a stranger in need. Is it only a matter of testing the relay and swapping out the ones that show a faulty/different...

Today I took out the FTM (folding top module) to have a look and see if anything is fried inside. I will be taking the module to an electrician to test out the board. I made this hunch based on a similarly reported problem by one of the members on the forum. Their pump was stuck to the...

Here is a video I just took. You can see when the pump valve is loosened, you can hear the motor move freely. So it seems to be stuck in trying to move in this direction. How to remedy this? Maybe a fuse blew along when the old motor burnt up?

Hi mickeytee, Unfortunately all did not go as planned. Appreciate your support if you can help me troubleshoot this. So I received the remanufactured pump, which is a great piece of kit. The removal of the old motor unit and installing the new one was a piece of cake. Problem is as soon as I...

Hey fellow XLR commune, I was writing about this in reply to another thread, however, due to age, figured I'll add and write it separately. Had a problem with the roof hydraulic pump 2/17/22. Due to my own inconsideration, by continue to hold pressing the roof switch for more than necessary...

This is incredible ccclarke! Thank you so much! I had an issue with my pump, and posted on a newer thread. Gonna need to investigate my thermistor wires today, using your write up! Many thanks!

Had a very similar issue to yours just yesterday. My Folding Top sequence had always been to let go of the button on the last step, and then hold it again for the sequence to complete. The last step where the full trunk lid goes down, and in reverse when the lid is going up. I figured one of...

It looks like the first picture is the transmission cooling hoses, which can be found with part # 25770408. Second picture is for the engine coolant surge outlet, part # 19129889.

Another thread to identify the following parts and their OEM numbers, since there are so many different tubes/hoses. Transmission cooling pipe: Engine coolant hoses: Appreciate your help and support to identify a part number for these... Much thanks!

Or one hit in the back with an intact front fascia :)

Thanks Mickey, So I suppose best bet would be a junkyard that would sell the whole front bumper including parts. Shipping will be a pain, however, the car deserves the front refresh if I want to keep it for a long time.

Thinking about a front refresh for my '07 XLR-V, my understanding is that the new bumper fits on the older model. Question is, where would one source the whole fascia with a good price and shipped internationally? It seems difficult and hard on the wallet to go with OEM, as some parts are...

Thanks mickeytee, Seems like even the P/S pump pulley is also a discontinued part 😐

Hope this helps anyone who comes across the same project, for ease and reference. After purchasing a '13 Porsche Panamera GTS, it became my daily driver and it was time for the XLR-V to receive long due treatment and pampering. Took it to my trusty corvette mechanic, who's worked on another...

Thanks mickeytee, So for reference.. R, Cylinder Head Gasket 12613034 L, Cylinder Head Gasket 12613033 R, Valve Cover Gasket 12576394 L, Valve Cover Gasket 12576395 Rear rubber seal for S/C intake 12584008 S/C Gasket 12590737 Unfortunately the rear air intake boot is...

Hey XLR people! Need your help with identifying some part numbers for accuracy. Doing engine bushings, change all hoses, and since the supercharger has come out, gaskets! As you can see from the picture below, oil residue coming out of the engine covers and baked there. Those are the engine...
