Replaced all ignition items and did new coilovers, nothing there was technically 'broken', just had misfire when boost was >15psi.

I jinked myself. My front driveshaft u-joint exploded on the way to work. $140 for new unit. Easy fix at least.

Water pump, coils, spark plugs, rear wheel bearing all failed in the last 12 months. Car has 74000 miles now.

Entire motor blew at 193k miles. So so close.

JM98 · 12-21-2018, 12:08 AM

leaky injector @ 80k miles, turbos blasting smoke @ 83k miles but still hold boost

VANOS and now after shody repair, metal in the oil, so fearing the worst ...

Still, it's going to be fixed, just not driving my car for 3 months is and will be a pain

Left tie rod was worn and I could feel it in the steering. So I had new tie rods, M3 front control arms, and Munroe upper rear shock mounts installed.
Luckiest year ever for this car, no other issues!

Crank hub bolt loosened up resulting in complete loss of timing. Made the loudest bang i've ever heard from the car

924er · 12-30-2018, 06:01 PM

Just spark plugs and oil changes (knock on wood)

b92 · 12-31-2018, 11:56 AM

Nothing.

But what did I break on my car this year? Cylinder head to tstat hose (cross-threaded) & sway bar stud (over-torqued). Both easy fixes, but both were so easily avoidable.
