Where are we on this post???? Probably whereI am, delayed
I was going to replace the unit this past week but had to fix my daughters car instead. Then my sons. They were both home form College.
I'm flying all this week so I don't want to take the car apart until I replace the chain tensioner on the SL. concerned about the chain slap at startup and woudl rather fix it then drive it. Also its not good to have just 1 car and then your working on it. Something will always to wrong with that setup, and your stuck with NO cars
