Question is has anyone had this issue if so what'd you do to fix it??Was looking forward to getting my car back today :( now I am going to have to wait Edited 04/02/10 04:20 AM by xr6turboman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant remember which one it was but search on here there should be a thread on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
