If you're sitting in traffic for 45 minutes you could just get out and pop the bonnet up for a few minutes and let it cool :skiing::-p
Only read this thread for tht first time today.... Savage car. Fair play!
I fitted mine a month ago and have no issues with it
I did have to file it down a little so the reverse lifter would lift but nothing major.
Very happy
only downside is the metal is freezing in the morning!!!
I don't understand what the issue is?!
You did the service at 36 instead of 38 and when it hits 38 you have to do the same again just to keep the book in line?
I'm sure it's just the ecu programmed to do it when it's cold. BMW E46 M3 won't let you rev past so many revs til it's warmed up. I guess a similar theory
Hair dryer and tooth floss or fishing wire... You don't need to heat it that much at all. Even if it's a sunny day the line will ease right thru. All you have to do is pick off the spongey sticker. Then give it a polish as the paint will be slightly faded
