Nice stubby side mirror, don't see those too often; she's in good shape. Let me know how the CCM issues go; BTW, if you want I can enable the remote windows down and the One-Touch up/down windows since I got my own serial cable; and I'm gonna head out to DeNaples and I'll be in the area.

Hi there,

I recently gave my B5 fresh fluids for everything and blv me it made a world of a difference. So, I would recommend the same to everyone. The stuff I changed was as follows:
1) Engine Oil flushed and changed to Mobil 1 (Synthetic)
2) Power Steering flushed and changed (Used OEM fluid)
3) Brake Lines flushed and changed
4) Radiator flushed and refilled
5) Tranny Oil flushed and replaced with OEM

Only doing the above, was a great overall increase in the performance of car.

Your car is more than 10 years old. A lot of these fluids also might be as old as the car, unless the previous owner has changed them all. My advice is DO NOT TOP THEM UP... Just change the whole thing, flush the fluids if you can....

Good luck with your car

Cheers

Thse are DAMN good pics for a phone. It's time for me too upgrade. Lookin good so far. My advise is to do to it what you please. Whatever makes you like it, and not so much what everyone else says.

Everyone in the forums has opinions.. lol This is one of the best forums where people will be constructive when they give you feedback. Most forums are filled with a$$holes. honestly.

But welcome! Cant wait to see the transformation.
