After putting up with turn signal problems for months I finally had time to replace the hazard switch yesterday. I documented the whole method here: http://myweb.cableone.net/kd5fx/HSwitch/HSwitch.htm This is using the 'easy' method where you can do it through the radio hole. Save the wave! Doc

She's my DD but in the garage today after 12 INCHES of snow yesterday. She'll be back on the road again early next week..... Doc

Did the Silverstars make a difference? STW, Dave

I did some testing on my '01 A4 Coupe w/ 3.15 today, just for grins.... 35 mph, punched it and in less than 1.5 secs it had kicked down and the back end broke loose a little on asphalt. 45 mph, punched it and about 1 sec later is was zooming past all the SUVs and mustangs. Those are all with the...

Techron is GOOD stuff! I've used it on some older cars and it works! Fixed the problems on my old 93 Civic, my 98 Sunfire and the 00 Camaro. Haven't needed it on my 01 vette, yet... It's also an A4, I'll time the kickdown time tomorrow on the way to work and see how quick it kicks down and...

I checked mine last spring on my C5. I was changing the plugs and ohmed the plug wires while I was in there just to make sure they were OK. Here's the results I got: I also checked all the plug wires with an ohm meter: Plug wire resistance- 1-287 2-269 3-260 4-286 5-278 6-275 7-270 8-261 Those...

This is my daily driver except when it snows then it's the better half's 4WD Yukon. Fortunatly it hardly ever snows here. Doc

I saw something online recently that said for every 5 MPH over 60 it cuts 10% on your MPG. So, on my last 200 mile trip here in mostly flat Okla I checked that theory. On the first part of my trip there was some construction so I kept it at 60 MPH and got 33 MPG, then I put it at 70 and got 30...

'Painted the calipers'???? I've been thinking about doing that too, tell me all about it, what paint did you use? Did you pull them off the car to do it? How long did it take? How does it look? What color did you use???? Thanks... Doc

Are these new wheels too? Does this happen when there's a drastic temperature change in the weather? Years ago I had a leaky wheel, when a cold front came through it would leak and I'd have a flat! Just a thought.... Doc

My 2001 Coupe is a daily driver and here's the technique I've used for many years here in Oklahoma where it's been 100+ for the last 12 days or more. When I get in and start her up the A/C is on MAX fan speed, outside air and my passenger's side window is cracked about 1/4". A/C is a heat pump...

Mine is a 2001 w/ the A4, both roofs, K&N FIPK intake, Flowmaster mufflers and a few other minor little tweeks. Sure is alot of fun, waited aover 20 years to get one.... Save the wave! Doc

What's the ECBM? New owner... Doc

I have the same problem with my 2001 coupe. It started when the weather warmed up, I've noticed it usually happens when the car is around 80 deg F. I hit the hazard switch 6 or so times real quick then they usually work OK until the next day. If not, I hit it again 6 more times and that always...

This guys sells that gadget- http://www.corvettegadgetman.com/products6.html I bought a set of his EZ Vents for my 2001 Coupe and they work great. Doc

GoodYear you can, others I'm not sure about. There's LOTS of info on the CAC about run flats, do an advanced search for 'patch'.

Why don't you just get the tire patched? Or is it worn out? If so, you'll need at least two. Check out www.tirerack.com or www.tires.com Doc

These guys did their 'drive to work' day one day sooner than you suggested. Here's the parking lot in Woodriver, Il. Doc

Just an FYI for all of you who are thinking about changing your plugs but haven't done it yet. (That was me too until yesterday). My 2001 QuickSilver Coupe had NGK TR6 plugs in it when I got it last December. I've noticed a slight stumble during idle from time to time so I decided to change the...

OK, I'll drive my QuickSilver to work today, but then again, that's what I do EVERY day. Rain forecast for us today but no hail forecast. We really need the rain! This will be only the 3rd time I've driven her in the rain since I got her early in December! and she's a daily driver...
