I got around to sorting out the humming sound on Blondie

just as predicted - wheel bearings

Changed them both, they were kinda bad

Mech said he used NTN

sorry I can't say what the was the bearing number as he had already thrown out the boxes in the garbage when I went to collect the car.

Estimating the both cost $700.00 as the total bill was $1000.00 (bearings + labour to change oil and wheel bearings)

Noise gone completely.

Now is just to do an allignment as she pulling aa bit to the left

yeah car go bless with som mayaro salt tomoro.

anyway after the ordeal with the injector connector being lose the car still didn want to start the next morning.

then i called in the mechanic (a new one with some class and perseverance)
he said off the bat it was fuel pump and told me he would scrap it and clean it.
a marked improvement from other poser mechs that want to send u to buy a new pump.

when he mounted up everything the car was starting whenever it feel to surprise us. then we checked the fuel tank pump (which btw is in the fuel tank...a small ass fuel tank to be exact). we changed the new pump back to the old pump and like a revival of missing parts, the car started.

and it started again, and even this morning..without issue.

so after spending about jus over $1k, all we ended up doing is cleaning the old engine pump and putting back in the old fuel tank pump.

now for the damages:

- broke a bolt in one of the newer engine fuel pumps (i have 3 in stock)
- wasted $395 for a in tank pump by bobbys that wasnt giving the car the minimum psi to start
- damaged a couple O rings, thank god i have in stock

^ ^ ^ the thrill of extra parts does overwhelm him

Anytime he suspect a part defective he does run and buy it. AFTER checking the mech and then finding out the correct part that needed, he does buy that too and consider the prevoius part a spare

Next time u need an intank pump taht giving low pressure, at least yuh have one Laughing

QG, as far as cosmetics are concerned the 05-06 has bumpers that are extended like how my CS5's are to the CS3's

other than that everything else supposed to be the same cept for differing trim levels

Didn't someone say that the '07 CS3 had 114 wheel spacing ?

Anyone else can confirm this Question

You sure that '05 got those new factory flairs on front & rear bumpers Question

The '07 got the new factory flairs on front & rear bumpers as well as a nicer improved 3-spoke sport steering wheel

The local '07 had black tappet covers

And Idle - I tell yuh scan the car b4 yuh buy anything that yuh didn't already have as a spare. Just like with ronsin1, If yuh had listen to me too, yuh would have saved a $400.00 - punk Exclamation

I scanned the car cyap
yuh ever try scanning the car for fuel pressure?
Launch not reading it once the car not started.
Evoscan ecuflash doesnt have a fuel pressure reading and scantool has fuel pressure but it not reading on the gdi

Alright on to other things, the time to change oil brands from castrol to shell full synth is soon approaching.

One thing i notice when checking the oil is that its always dark brown, even after driving it after an oil change, so i was considering flushing the engine to clean it before switching oils, what you all think?

Remember i have a GDI.

So you not using any Engine Flush and Flushing oil? The flushing expert in that link said to use them.

QG · Posted: Mon Jul 27, 2009 12:38 am Post subject:

Aite cool, thanks.

I didn't even know it had a 07 CS...since Mitsubishi did introduce the newer Lancers (evo x body) Confused

ZeroOne, Venum threw out a point there with the oil.

venum, das alot of $$ spending in Oil

I used Scant's way and it worked for me.
the Engine Flush and the Flushing Oil is reasonably priced
and you get a whole bucket of Flushing Oil for <$200 which could do about 4 flushes

ZeroOne · Posted: Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:18 am Post subject:

idlemind,I was thinking the same thing. Too much $$ on oil and plus ill have to get 2 new oil filters.
