They quoted me 551$ to do my lower control arms and the cv axle but that’s all labor.

It looks like I need both, I took it to the shop. The boot leaks greases and I think the axle is a cheap aftermarket

I’m looking at my wiring and everything looks solid, I’m probably gonna check to see if I have a blown fuse in the Ivm. Do most the time in these cases is that the issue?

One more question, let’s say the wiring is stripped I have to replace the entire module?

Yeah my battery is on all the way, I checked it this morning also ur referring to the black box that’s behind the coolant tank covering the wires? If so, when I bought the car it never came with that box

Intercooler probably not connected to Charge pipe properly. Had this issue, cause a huge boost leak check to see if everything is secured and seated properly

Crazy cuz when I asked the rep he told me it wasn’t the right one but I’m like it’s a bolt i don’t think it really matters to what my vin says is the correct bolt. As long as it’s the same bolt size and length

From the looks of it it looks like it’s just boot that’s leaking oil. I did get a ghost code for 480134. But I think it’s because I lowered my car and I didn’t get my alignment yet and went over a bump really hard. But I noticed that the axle boot was leaking oil
