Doesn't start first try when cold. Only issue we've had on our GT 5 speed.

Dealer today for driver window not working, blown motor in door. Also asked about the rear washer outlet leaking after use, told them the TSB number and asked them to look on the rear window as it was there. No issues, very pleasent, but NO parts. Will call me when they are in, they think Wed. The fix on the rear sprayer is a check valve. All in all a pain, but the wrench who always works on my car came out and talked with me, said when I pulled it in the service bay he wondered what the hell that is. Told him about the stage1 install and the drivability it has brought, showed him the BTG strut brace. Good guy said it sounded great, loved the strut brace and said he will always look out for me when I bring my car in. Cool huh?

The mechanics and techs usually get boored working on stockers all day....it's probably refreshing. Watch the mileage though...the lotboys that wash your car after service have notoriously heave right feet!

Kirby, Here they are lot girls. After my sway bar was done the "detailed" my car. It was so bad, missed spots, not dry, a few very light scrathes, that today I had them put a note in my file, NEVER "detail" my car again as we have VERY differant ideas as to what that means. The service guy just smiled and said he would take care of it. The Tech knew what was up though. You are right they probably like to hear and see people that are doing the little extras and like you for it.

with mine my air conditioner leaked all the coolent out so the dealer replaced all the bushings and recharged...never had a problem with that since.

the things i have noticed: a high pitched electrical whine , thought it was the gas pump but the noise fluctuates if you use any thing else electric; the electrical system itself lights flicker and all thqat stuff if use any thing electric...I know others have this, any fixes yet?; rear hatch rattles over bumps; and I think my sun roof does not open all the way...there is 4 inches still overhanging...any ideas with that?

My car too does not like to start on the first crank in cold weather, simple fix...turn the ignition key on and wait a few seconds for the gas pressure to build then crank it.]

Got my new MCU installed while I was on vacation. Seems to run very well now, no stutter. Does anyone know what the problem was to cause the stutter in the first place? (3Barboost??)

Macster, I found out what the sound was. Seems I was loosing a seal on my power steering pump. They heard it on the road test, installed a new one. Damn I love my dealer.

I had the clutch replaced in the recall. The new clutch is much lighter in pressure necessary.

I have the High RPM Miss, but my dealer said he couldn't replicate it, so he didn't do anything
