Thanks. Headlights age by UV light I think, so that also won’t be a problem (car has lived inside for at least 90% of its life). But I’ll look out for shocks and exhaust items.

Which parts are anlmost unobtainable? I have an R with only 13k miles. I’ve stacked up on some parts like wheels, brake light, front discs and pads and some small other parts. Love to get your input, so I can be on the lookout for these parts.

It’s a fairly cheap module. It’s located on top of the battery, you must have seen it already when changing the battery.

Maybe hook up a computer to the OBD and see if it is a setting you can change? I have the plug and software needed, but I’m literally half a world away…

Low battery in the sensors? When I replaced the tires I also did the sensors, as I did not trust them to go another 10 years.

Maybe connect a laptop to the car and see if there is something you need to configure for the clock to work?

The panel is also held by 4 plastic clips. They are designed to break when removing the panel. You can just buy a bag of them online for cheap.

The tube is part of the so-called sound system. It is designed to put some engine noise in the cabin, for a sporty feel to the car. I removed mine and I still get enough drone from the engine for my taste…

I just purchased the part for non sound-system cars. That one does not have the hole. But capping off works just fine as well.

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I’ve also removed the final pipe and replaced the filter cover with one without the hole. I guess there must be a membrane inside the tubes, allowing the sound, but preventing leaks?

Looks like some aftermarket modification/thing that was added. Where do the wires lead to?

Faulty thermostat?

I found one on eBay and one on a local marketplace. Paid 15 euros for each.

It's this one: Ali-Link. I purchased one, because I had starting problems. Looks identical. In the end it was a loose negative....

The A/C might just be a refill. Just had that done yesterday with mine. Due to very little use it was completely empty. You should be able to revert back do the stock unit. But if the original one is gone you probably need to reprogram one. On the other hand, I think there are aftermarket units...
