Forbidden lemonade

Hate myself for reviving this but data is data: 2017 LC. Changed coolant this weekend at 107,432 mi. I bought a year ago at ~98k and only have a handful of service records so I do not know if it has been changed before. Here are the "test" results and old coolant condition

Cleaned the sunroof drains and ended up using a better purposed snake tool off amazon to get all the way through. I then hit the junctions with contact cleaner and called it good. Ended up taking a quick weekend trip down to Nashville and hit a ton of rain on the way but no issues! I did notice...

Seems to be the sunroof drains. Tried to snake with some string trimmer line and electrical cable but didn't make it far before hitting some sort of blockage. It may just be a bend in the line since water is coming through but I ordered the brush tool off amazon so just waiting for it to arrive...

That's how I'm feeling too. Thankfully the heated seat issue started early otherwise this could've gone undetected for a long time. Until I bought it in April this LC was in rainy Sea/Tac its whole life so I'm very surprised this isn't worse.

Pulled the connectors and ran a fan overnight. I've unfortunately noticed some very light corrosion on driver and passenger junctions. What's the best method to tackle corrosion these delicate pins? Is the only long term solution to depin and clean the affected ones? Still narrowing down the...

We had back to back days of decent rain and on my way home tonight I started having issues with my driver's heated seat not shutting off no matter what mode the heated/cooled button was on (or even off). Pulled the drivers door trim and noticed a lot of water and both driver's and passenger...

Didn't know about this, found some fun info on the story here: Europa G Wagen History. Looks like they got small volume manufacturer status

Love the write up. It's pretty cool what doors LiFePO4 and solar are opening. My wife and spent over a year full time boondocking in a trailer I rewired to be fully solar powered (minus stove). Did you consider going 24/48v route for your second battery? Would that have avoided the need for...

@hoser @dnh1 If one 300 were to get through this process, do all subsequent 300 imports have to follow all the same steps: petition, bond, etc? Or is it easier (minus required physical modifications) to get more in once precedent has been set?

I plan to do this myself at some point so interested in what others say. Seems like its either the factory usb, 12v socket, or run something through the firewall and put a fuse block in the glove box if you need a bit more juice.

Looks good. What’s the verdict on heated/cooled seats switch?

Seems like one of the better options. I still can’t decide which Carplay route to go. Not to big on the Grom type options since I have a 17 with the resistive screen but also don’t love adding a portable screen above. Cutting the OEM brackets seems not great though… You know which one he’s...

2016 Silver w/ Black - 88,798 mi for $49,995 just north of Indianapolis VIN: JTMCY7AJ8G4038164 Seems to be in pretty good shape but no pics of underneath. I'm not too far so if someone is seriously interested I can go check it out for ya 👍
