Anyone knows here who’s looking for AEM Cold air intake for 2.0L? I got extra for a cheap price

Wd40 does not play well with plastics. I think silicon or lithium lube is a better option. Don't know if they come in spray form though. Armor All is another option.

Baka nag assume agad na nasagi or nabangga. Buti you stood your ground.

When a kamote rider got smacked in the face by my dad's CX-5's mirror my dad had to pay for the replacement because even insurance won't cover it.

3 months and 2 weeks I haven't used my M3 for long drives ever since the lockdown started last March. I regularly charged the battery with CTEK and would drive around the village for 1 km every 2 weeks. So far so good, no issues so far.

But I wasn't able to have it scheduled for the 30 month pms due to my uneasiness with covid. The car just drove less than 1000km after the 24 months pms last Dec and wasn't able to use it for more than 3 months (and for the coming months as well). I figured I could just have the oil change next year.

If I skip this pms would that mean I won't be able to avail the last 36th month pms?

Call it in, they should extend your current coupon's validity....or, you can forfeit it & move to the next.
Constantly check the engine bay for signs of rodent infestation. Idle cars can become their nice comfy dining, latrine, honeymoon suite, delivery room & nursery... or all the above. Keep it constantly clean & fresh. Once they mark it w/ urine....they'll be squatter stubborn.[emoji854]

Good reminder! I better check mine. I recently cleaned the car and put a car cover to avoid "sand storm" coming from a nearby road repair.

And with the CTEK recently returned, thanks for the lift from lockdown, I have it connected for the last three days.

I hope the "battery cheat" will last long.

We found chicken leg bones behind the bumper when they took it off. Looks like the neighborhood felines chased them away though because there were no new tracks. It's a tossup between cat tracks on the roof or rat tracks in the engine.

Some rodents can be healthier, stronger & larger than the neighborhood stray pussies...the latter, intimidated. Have had traps that lose bait & door closed w/ no catch in the morning. Reason? The rats are so big. Once the door snaps, half the body remains out.
Stay vigilant, there's a lot in the engine bay they can chew to while time....& now, the rains....away. Keep it clean. Let them know they're watched. The common preventive recommendation of peppermint oil is hit/miss. I pack crystal menth(not meth[emoji13]) in old freshener cans placed under bonnet. Stronger, more lasting. I hope luck stays & rodents away. Don't wanna jinx anything.🤞[emoji120]

It was just a borrowed trap I experimented with, doc. Racumin blocks, slow hitting, have been effective to a point. Lately, I've noticed the slow-non consumption. They may have learned about the poison that's been killing their 'bRAThren'.
Haven't tried tanglad, garlic & other spices that would degrade, rot & would need constant replacement. Crystal Menth leaves the bay smelling like a spa & requires much less attention, just topping. I'm guessing it irritates the eyes & bothers their sense of smell.

engine rat tracks are ea$ily taken care of, by the auto detailers.
cat tracks are a simple basahan fix.
cat scratch on the paint... that's different!

Will try crystal menth. Can't have rat poison in the garage because we have a pup that loves hunting roaches and nibbling calipers.

Put a CaliScents can or 2 of CMenth. 1 on the dipstick/cap cavity & 1 on batt. Agree on no poison for you. Ours are leashed when walked. The stray pussies don't seem to touch the blue Racumin blocks placed in areas only rodents can easily access.

we had a cute, love-able pup...
until i found my mags oxidizing away because the pup was marking its "property" using its urine...

A friend's pup loves chewing ABS sensor plugs. Good thing ours is more inclined to metal.
