Something looks a little different to Hannah's Hamster (yes thats what my wife and I are calling her Cruze now :ROFLMAO: ). It helps break up the sea of red along the sides.....

While I was fixing my latest coolant leak, detailed here, I was waiting for the cooling system to get up to temp and I decided to add some washer fluid to the system. A while ago I bought a filter for the washer tank on a whim from Ali-express. I thought I was probably wasting time and money, but went with it anyways. Turns out, it was a smart investment. The gallon of washer fluid was a bit old, so after pouring in a little over a half a gallon, this is what was left:

I was real interested to find out that the filler neck pops right out. Was fighting and fighting with the H1 clip while trying to install the new LED bulb and then removed that and...oh, well, that was easy. :LOL:

After 4 years,two broken center tail lights, and another trunk full of water, I ordered a new center tail light from GM, and put it on my "17 RS, today.

Both the original center light and the replacement installed by the dealer that never fixed the leak were torqued down so much, causing the crack.

Decided to fix the stone chips on the front face of the hood... realized quick how thin each layer is. And the "spiral grey" is a "over spray" over black primer.

Starting at the drivers side I'm going to work the body counterclockwise with the end game of the taped areas being pearl white, and doing rust control before winter comes in.

Replaced my valve cover with oem (and pcv system check valve at the turbo). Here’s hoping no leaks.

Seems good now. Didn’t really fix the stumble when stopping after about 1 mi drive cold (but maybe it’s a little better). CEL went away immediately and it seems smoother. Idle squeak/chirp noise was still there a bit after the fix, but I think it’s better now.

(also forgive the hose clamps, still on from previous owner. I’ve got a whole cooling overhaul pile of parts ready for when the current very slow leak becomes a bigger one) :)

Went to Toronto motorsports park for their open lapping on the road coarse. Pretty much did a continuous 3hrs on the track, burned a third tank of gas. And found out this girl plows in the wet... as the track was wet the whole time.

Loved it.
