| When I run Shell here I’m always underwhelmed with the performance and mileage. I get regular diesel at a cheap station near the house that my 3.0 runs really well on. On occasion I run a bottle of ... |

The kits I bought were 246914 and had pistons, seals and bleeders for one calipers (you need two kits).

E) Normal, but not in a good way. Replace the pistons with some hard anodized Frenkit pistons and seal kits. Not very expensive and they don’t flake.

I already feel for you…
It’s a three hose set, 118, 119 and 120 and they require a new thermostat/housing and coolant outlet. They changed the hose sizes so they’re not interchangeable. I’ve ... |

| I still have the sample sitting here. Way too much going on and it slipped through the cracks. I’ll get it sent soon and report the findings. |

Well, that’s shocking. I’ve done a few of these now and never run into that. I don’t do the drill bit like they show, just eyeball it and make sure nothing is close.
That looks like something ... |

| Main thing is just let the oil drain out of the intercooler. Definitely don’t bother trying to remove it from the car. |

Yours is part of the TSB VIN range so it’ll all be as it should be.
The plug that gets removed is in the block. The plug that goes in is for the sump. |
