Got my car from Z1 two weeks ago after a coolant leak required the transmission be pulled. I should have had them pull the plenum as well and do the coolant bypass so I wouldn't have to worry about it. But... I was stupid...

I printed the instructions from tt.net to do the plenum pull myself but just think it is more than I want to get in to. I guess I'll have Z1 do the 120k service while they have it this time...



I was so pissed off that I *almost* went car shopping... that Charger R/T was calling my name!

 

From a TT Z to a Dodge Charger R/T? You should be ashamed.

 

the exact reason why i dont want to own a TT, because doing the simplest of tasks requires pulling the plenum...

 

those back studs are a biiiootch!

 

But once the EGR and coolant lines are eliminated, it's pretty simple to do.

 

I said *almost*

I have the blues this week over my Z... sure, it's a high mileage car (130k) but it's a NISSAN! It's supposed to be bullet-proof dammit! I don't mind spending money on routine maintenance and modest upgrades, but this $1,500 per month in repair bills is killing me.

 

Do this once a month:

Go to the drag strip
Bet Charger R/T owner $1500 on a race
drive the TT to Z1 and give them the $1500 to fix whatever it is that broke during the race

 

but who is going to pay for gas

 

or you could learn to do it yourself and pocket the race winnings.

 

That's awesome...
