Glad to hear that. I think that I would freak out without a ti in the garage. | | | | | 11-21-2012, 07:05 PM | #2763 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Ft Defiance, AZ Posts: 686 |

Note to self never try to take out the extractors when the engine is still hot.. OUCH!!!!!! Ok so story of my life got stuck half day because i stripped one brass bolt took a couple hours to go find an imperial socket thanks to dear old dad he had some spare tool sets lying around picked it up took out the extractors and WHAT!!!!!!! no leaks cracks etc. I checked the rest of the exhaust system found two broken bushings midway over the catback area changed those (fixed the rattle) moved over to the front and well what do you know the leak... Joint from extractors to exhaust dump major carbon residue FML spent the whole day opening the wrong thing. Fixed that now have to re install the extractors. Should be done by 5pm... Sigh* I should make a freaking diary | | | | | 11-22-2012, 07:26 AM | #2768 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2010 Location: Scranton/Wilkes-barre area PA Posts: 454 |

Today I discovered that you can simply reach in through the open hatch to pop the rear windows open. I've been doing it the hard way this whole time, wresting around the front seats to get to it. Doh! Still not used to this whole hatchback thing, perhaps  __________________ 1997 318ti 5-speed Moreagrün
