  1. Favorite Drive Mode for A10?

    If just cruising I set it to normal mode. If I want a spirited driving I will set it to sport mode. With regards to paddle shifter, I don't really use them unless I want to hear the rev matching when downshift. Track mode is actually best for track as it keeps gears longer and the acceleration...
  2. Coolant consumption ?

    @Zig @AZ_Ryan the coolant used to be kinda greenish/yellowish in the very beginning. The it start to take a more brownish color. Few months back I added more coolant to fill up to the top and I got the yellow one as per manual. Back to my little experiment, the coolant in the jar remains the...

  5. Coolant consumption ?

    I decided to run a little experiment. Took a small sample of coolant in a glass container (stored in a safe place in a garage). if any oil I would expect to accumulate at the top . I will leave for a day or two and see how ti goes. Here is the sample. Coolant seems to age like wine lol
  6. Coolant consumption ?

    I'm definitely taking it to the dealer. No doubt about that. But correct me if I'm wrong , if any oil present wouldn't it be confined as a topmost layer rather than a homogenous color as in the picture? The car was actually sitting for a full day when I took the pic.

  8. Coolant consumption ?

    Hey folks, As you know many cars are going low in coolant from the factory. Same happened with mine. Almost 2 months ago filled it up and since then I have been checking it almost every week. Here are the pics taken early on the morning , before starting the car and at an ambient temperature...
  9. Show me your spoiler!

    Nice, can you add a photo with a more bright background ? I would like to see the contrast of the flap with respect to the whole car. I have a white GT and looking to add the same . Thanks
  10. Stuck between White or Silver

    White is the way. White also absorb less radiation thus the metal stays cool which helps with faster heat dissipation from the engine lol

    I participated in a photoshoot for Apex and tried few wheels. I really like the VS-5RS design but I haven't settled in the color yet. I tried on the anthracite and the bronze but unfortunately not the satin black. Here are some photos. My car is also featured in Apex's website. What do you guys...

  16. Broke stud While Installing Strut Tower Brace

    I asked ford about how to fix this and they told me I have to replace that whole part! Which means removing the whole thing and welding in back....even then ford technician told me to go and buy a bolt and do it cheap and dirty lol. Eventually I did a suspension work and a new stud was...

  18. How to fix snapped stud in strut tower

    yes. but it was done during a suspension upgrade, it was easier. The mechanic put another stud and he spot welded it from the bottom (similar spot to what the picture has). Clean work.
  19. Ad oil question

    Got it. Thanks. I checked the oil level after having it parked overnight. This is what I see. It's within the hatched area but towards the low end...Also I noticed an oily area in the tray...not sure if it is leaking oil or its an oil spill form the last change...car has almost done 4300 miles...
  20. Ad oil question

    maybe a dumb question , but why 1/2 way on the hatch on the stick is a "sweet spot". Does't that mean the engine has about 0.5 Q less ? Does the oil filter have 0.5Q capacity ?
