Re: Leaking Tail Lens - 2005 SE

I just opened my trunk the other day after it sat for a week, water. Water everywhere in my trunk when it lifted. Just pouring out of my trunk lid near the lens.

Re: Used EGR valve and now running awful

I was thinking that the gasket could be a problem. I need to find one of them somewhere. Both of the used ones I have look decent but I am sure it could use a new one.

Re: EGR Valve Diagnosis

Thank you very much, that is pretty crazy. Gotta do it though. I already bought the o2 sensor though, maybe i will test just in case.

Re: EGR Valve Diagnosis

Hey guys, I went to change the downstream sensor the other day and ran into a problem. I cannot get to the connector for the sensor. There seems to be a metal panel covering it that is riveted in. Does everyone else have this same panel there? How are we supposed to remove the sensor without being ...

I was seeing anywhere from $35-$70 for the rebuild kits. Does this sound right?

Re: Used EGR valve and now running awful

Just an update.

Those T's are a little small for the inlet under the supercharger. They fit the plastic vacuum lines fine, but for some reason the male end under the supercharger is huge (giggity).

I had to go back to the automotive store and get some more rubber adapters and plastic fittings to ...

Re: Used EGR valve and now running awful

Yeah no problem, anything I can do to help the community.

I am pretty displeased with aftermarket suppliers as well. I mean it's not like it is uncommon to have a plastic line that needs a T fitting. Oh well, I am really hoping that this is the only leak I have and that the fitting works. Any ...

Re: Used EGR valve and now running awful

The T under the super charger did indeed break, any idea where I can get one? Auto part stores only seem to have the male Ts

Edit: Most places dont carry rubber Ts like this. I was able to get Autozone to ship a couple to my house for tomorrow. I am hoping this will work okay, I know someone ...

I was afraid of the structural part. This means I have the more difficult process correct? I was reading the different threads today on doing this and wasnt sure which would apply.

Re: Used EGR valve and now running awful

From my experience with original and used EGR valves you gota buy new if you want your car to run. I tried 3-4 used ones with no luck and unsure of what the problem was before I gave in and bought a new one.

I dont think it is the EGR itself that messed it up, maybe the seal around the base if ...

For future supercharger oil replacements, you'll find that a syringe makes it much easier.
1 for dirty oil. 1 for clean oil.

Re: Used EGR valve and now running awful

Carefully recheck all vacuum hoses to be sure none broke or were accidentally disconnected.
Ditto for electrical connectors.
Under the supercharger snout there's a vacuum T that's prone to breaking.
The tube for the EGR is prone to cracking, particularly underneath, where it isn't obvious.
If those ...
