    P85D LDU failure leak past rotor coolant delete by QCC

    if u selling soon, i'd suggest just drilling a weep hole, took me all like 30min to do it that will extend the life by a lot esp if its not leaking yet for installing actual bypass manifold (or DIY it) it will just take the labor hours of removing/installing LDU its pretty invasive job, remove...

    for those that transferred their FUSC <March 31, 2024

    they probably meant SC05 SC01s are hard to come by now cause most ppl transferred them out to new cars... she's right, if u don't SC a lot its not worth overpaying for it

    Fix 2017 Model X suspension issues, or trade in for a new Y?

    its sad to read these kind of stories not sure why tesla just wants to replace full suspension all the time... probably cause of so many complains n bad troubleshooting that they just replace everything so they only have to do it once... post ur quote please i seriously doubt ur...

    How expensive to repair?

    I would just use the cap on the inside I do not like to destroy too much of the original part since we can't source those by itself (unless u buy the whole used unit) so i wouldn't go for flanged nipple Plus it won't send any coolant up the fly over tube, not sure if its important or not yet but...

    If its DIY, then it can be done very cheap with used part off eBay Tires are tires, every car needs them, rears do have higher inner wear due to static camber Windshield gonna cost u a pretty penny unless u ok ignoring that... LDU bypass can be done DIY for cheap (assuming its rwd car), awd...

    2013 S 85 multiple codes and won’t drive

    but u won't get internal isolation error... any BMS error will prevent contactors from closing which will prevent 12v from charging n die pretty quick due to all other systems running off of it if u don't re-charge it right away then yes its possibly won't hold charge anymore, just how lead acid...
