Free lifetime warranty through FCP Euro, so if it goes again it shouldn't cost me anything.

Report back with your findings!

Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping things work that way. Once the Xmission is warmed up, it shifts like butter smooth. But in the beginning during warm up stage, I drive very slow and easy and it takes longer to shift to higher gears.

today i had my radiator replacement finally.
i went with nissens made in slovakia. oh boy its so light compared to OEM my car had for 14 years. by the way it was Modine .the big M letter confirms that:



that love was something!

the mechanic was an a-hole.he made that common mistake although i warned him about the drain plug to choose the right one and he answered me back ,i have put many nissens..he filled and drained 3 times,of i refused to pay for the extra fill and drain,it was his fault,,so much he knows about nissens.its bcs. he has put so many

why technicians are so snob when they hear the word internet? i know the answer .bcs it reveals their dirty plan.


anyway, lets hope the rad is put right in its place and will last for a long time.i paid 168 for rad and 120 euros for labour,290 almost for a rad. i will be glad if it works for 8 years time.

Well, let's hope it holds. So far, my Nissens is holding up through sub-freezing temperatures.
