Default Another Waterlooism - Have to go back into the console again!

So the tiptronic mod is awesome, about 1/2 through writing the procedure.

So what did I forget to do? Nothing that I thought! But there is a big rubber gromet that goes around the transmission cable to the tunnel assembly and I can bet that it is dislodged.

How do I know this? Cause everytime I park the car and get back into it within 20 minutes I can smell all the darn nasty oil falling on the exhaust right below it in the cabin. It goes right away after the HVAC system starts up.

So now I have to rip the whole console out again to put a gromet in place!

Shame on me!!!!

Default Take some consolation - it's always faster the second time.

Or third, fourth, fifth, whatever you're up to on the console spelunking trips. ;-)

Agreed, it isn't going to take me long! Maybe 2 hours total is what I'm thinking.

Default In the immortal words of Homer, "DOH!". I've never done anything like that.... NOT.

Just remember Homer's motto, doughnuts and beer make everything better. Especially the beer!
