Just got the info from Scott. DCT is already reassembled and ready to be installed again. More details coming up.
Usually the speed sensors are first ... then come the pressure sensors.
definitely. the european market shows an increase in FF prices of about 20 percent, since I started to watch the market in 2019 (that's when I...

I have been told that the cooling system is pressure tested during the annual service, which can lead to some coolant beeing lost.
