Even tho Mr. J's most notable "hood job" was on my wife's A6 Avant, the fix
is the same. And, the avoidance of the resultant aftermath was most
appreciated.

When I've had this problem on my Volkswagens, and it seems to always be the
driver's side, I simultaneously pound (gently) on the corner of the hood
while pulling on the hood release. Or have a helper just pull up on the
hood while you pull on the hood release.

Subject: [s-cars] Blaupunkt Toronto Display Repair
My second Blaupunkt Toronto's display is also going bad. I cant fix them and
will send them to Blaupunkt for repair.
Has anyone had their Toronto repaired by Blaupunkt? If so, how much did it
cost in parts and labor and most importantly, did the same display problem
recur?
Thanks,
Chris

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
Hi everyone..
I just picked up an ABY S2 motor.
It has 120,000kms on it.
I am going to do all the regular maintenance while the motor is out.
I am wondering if I should stick with a stock clutch setup or do some else?
The S2 part#s:
Clutch plate: 034 141 033 A 240mm
Pressure plate: 077 141 117 L 240mm
The urs4 S4 parts:
Clutch Plate: 034 141 033 240mm
Pressure plate: 034 141 117G 240mm
I am priety positive that I can use the S4 setup. I was just thinking of
buying a stock clutch kit for the S4?
Should I just keep what I have? 120,000km=around 70,000 miles. The fact that
I don't know how the driver/s of this S2 drove the car makes me want to
certainly change the clutch.
Opinions?
Sach sport clutch?
Thanks
Josh

Sorry Igor. I remember one lister selling a complete set of coils after
he discovers spark plugs were the culprits. I was pretty sure to
remember your name but also found strange you could do this sort of
things. After taking my nerves out, it seems my urS6 also affects my

Wow! Thanks for all the help on how to prepare my car. I'm gong to be
busy.
Now.. as for the tunes. I won't be using them on the track, of course, but
it would be nice to have some on the long trip from FL to the Glenn. Has
anyone seen this problem?
The 10 disc changer worked great when I
bought the car. Recently, when I change the mode to CD, the head unit
will only display the disc and track number but will not play. I can
change to any disc loaded in the magazine, but all yield the same
results. It's almost as if the player is waiting for me to hit the play
button... any help on this one ?
thanks!

Subject: Re: [s-cars] RF Remote on 95.5 S6A stopping working
Mine has been doing the same thing for the past two months. What I
suspected was a low battery, and indeed, the electrolyte was down by 2.5
inches, roughly. After filling and pulling the relevant fuse to reset
the remote locking, the key worked, but I noticed the battery wasn't
being fully recharged. Unfortunately, my test plan was disrupted by the
rear left interior lamp being accidentally turned on by some hanging
clothes, so I am not sure at the moment whether the battery is operating
normally or not. Time will tell, I guess. However, operating the car
on Thursday the key started working again, and was still working today,
Saturday.
I'd suggest checking your battery for fluid level, and the jump-start
post voltage when the engine is charging the battery (13.6 volts) and
when the engine is off (12.6V).
