Are there any similar cameras that are bluetooth enabled out there? That would solve the single wifi connection issue.

Apparently so!

Thanks for the update on this. I have your bushings in my garage but still waiting to get some free time to make the upgrade, but I've been wondering how they will last in the long run. This puts my mind more at ease. Now I gotta just get to it.

Me too...

Yes the handle just doesn't catch. The trick I've learned to fix it is to hold the handle half way and toggle the lock switch or key fob lock unlock and pull back to open. It'll catch if you time it right.

OK, thanks. Looks like I'll be taking a look at the actuator then.

 

If you mean the drivers side central locking button/switch...then yes...eventually, if I toggle it off and on about 3-4 times.

I was talking about the actual (manual) door lock on the door itself. Not the power lock switch.

I also have a question. For those whose actuators have failed, are you also unable to unlock the door with the latch by hand? That is what has happened occasionally for me on the right rear door. Won't unlock with the power unlock or manually.

On a different note, there is a lot is space behind the nexus so Imthinking about putting a 1TB external Harddrive behind there

 

Depending where you live you may have problems with this in extreme temperatures. No different than what people with carpc's deal with.

Good point. I didn't notice it at all today but I wasn't paying too much attention.

Just did this today. Was my first repair on this car since I bought it two months ago. It is still under the powertrain warranty and I am actually taking it in Monday for another reason but I wanted to do this myself first because I prefer to do my own work when possible.

 

My old gaskets were a bit oily as well. Not quite as much as the picture above but I wouldn't worry about it. Also my car was also smoking a lot on the turbo side as well but I knew I spilled a bit of coolant out of the reservoir and expected some burning. It was more than expected though and it didn't really smell like antifreeze but it went away after a few minutes.

 

I do recommend taking the reservoir off. It made things a bit easier.

 

The drivers side was definitely hardest . I did it without help though. I used a box wrench and wedged it between the manifold and tgv where one of the bolts passes through. I figured it was safe since that is not a sealing surface. My 19mm box wrench was sufficiently thick enough to hold the gap wide enough to remove and install the gaskets.

 

I also removed the rubber coupler from the tb to the tmic to get more room on the back side. If you do this just remember how it is oriented because it has to go back the right way for the intercooler to mount properly. I didn't realize this and I probably spent an extra hour trying to get that right.

 

My car seems to idle better after the fix, but I still feel a little a bit of a stumble which I guess I will mention to the service department when I bring it in Monday. It did help though and I'm glad I did it.
