    Color/VIN mismatch

    If you're thinking of buying I would verify the cars vin number. The driver power seat control cover is also the wrong color, but that could have been replaced due to breakage. Looks like a nice car.

    headlight sensor

    It's your call but taking that dash apart can lead to other problems, I would avoid that if I could. Good luck.

    Bearing hum?

    That sounds similar to what I had and it was the rear wheel bearing.

    headlight sensor

    You're right, it is a lot of work. Maybe you could just find a replacement dome and superglue it in place.

    Help! Need a top module

    I wasn't sure if Top Hydraulics just repaired pieces and parts or if they did the installs as well. If they do they may have seen this problem before. Good luck on the interior, are you replacing it or dying the old?

    Help! Need a top module

    Here's a thought, contact any company that works on these units and ask if they have any suggestions. Top Hydraulics is one such company. I believe they rebuild the hydraulic cylinders and it would make sense that they have a good working knowledge of the system. It may be a long shot but worth...

    Trans Issue

    Does the shifter move or is it stuck in the reverse position. What did the dealer say, they don't know how to fix it or they can't find a new cable. Are they sure it's the cable and not the bushings.

    headlight sensor

    I don't know what picture you're looking at but that sounds about right. You will need to remove the A pillar covers first and then the center console cover plate and the center stack face plate to get at the screws behind that, there are also clips holding the dash pad down. Again, I have an 07...

    headlight sensor

    I have a 07 V so i'm not sure it's the same but mine is attached to the dash pad, When you lift the dash pad up you reach under and rotate that sensor and it drops out. Don't let it drop down into the dash, it's not easy to get it back out.

    Help! Replacing the Dash Cap Advice/Instructions

    No screws, but you need to move the shifter to neutral and use the trim tools to lift the top plate on the console just far enough to remove the center stack face plate.

    Help! Replacing the Dash Cap Advice/Instructions

    It has been a while since I removed mine but here's what I remember. If you don't have trim removal tools buy some, they are cheap at Harbor freight. You need to carefully remove the A pillar covers, the driver side has the microphone so you will need to remove that. There is a screw at each...

    VVT solenoid actuator oil leak UPDATE

    If you're talking about "performance mode", you are right, the TPMS has to show normal tire pressure before it will allow it to go into PM.

    VVT solenoid actuator oil leak UPDATE

    I don't believe anything is wrong with your traction control. This engine will overpower the traction control, when the tires are cold more so then after they warm up.

    How to open trunk without key and dead BCM?

    Assuming you have a good battery and you have tried all the buttons including the one under the lip of the trunk lid and nothing worked, here is a hail marry. If your top is up and you can get into the car, remove the storage compartment between the two seat backs, I think there are four screws...

    Hello- A New Owner in Ohio

    There is switch in the slot where that plastic dowel fits into, I can't remember if it's on the left or right side. It sounds like that switch is not making the connection, if you put your finger into the slot you should be able to actuate the switch, you should hear it click. Once you find the...

    Car starts without brake pedal being pressed...why?

    What does the Tech2 tell you? Just a guess but maybe the vibration caused by closing of the door is doing something to a loose connection, maybe in the fuse box, check and clean all of those connections. Good luck

    VVT solenoid actuator oil leak UPDATE

    If I were you I would change the the whole thing, they are not that expensive, I listed the part number earlier in this post. If your car is running ok I would leave the cam alone, "if it ain't broke"... No relearn needed.
