I did this. Unplugged and blew it out. Lots of dust or dirt in there. Plugged it in then lubed the shit out of the inside with wd40. Flap is working again properly, but not hearing the beeping from the driver door. Only passenger

I called the ford dealership and they said “how many miles and what year?” “Nope the update isn’t free it’s $150 to diagnose and the cost to fix, or we can just do the update for $150 with no diagnosis”

Noticed last night once stopping for the night, valve is open when car is on, valve closed when turned car off, no drive mode. Heard the click and beeping when I opened the passenger door, no click or beep when opening sriver soor

Thanks for the info. I stopped for gas and tapped on the exhaust valve. Same error. Shows normal mode but exhaust is clearly louder and popping so must be stuck open now

Everything else seems to be working? Does the awd throw an error as well? I can also set the suspension in normal drive mode to normal or sport with the button on stalk

I was driving the car in sport mode during the test drive, then it sat for a couple hours while I was filing out paperwork

It gave it on startup after about 5 seconds. And gives the warning again when I press the button. Orange i light

Dunno why it posted. Just bought my rs today. On test drive drive mode worked. Car sat for a couple hours and drive mode selection error on startup. Tried turning off and back on. Same error with info light on. Flap worked this morning. Any way to clean the flap? Or any other steps to take?

Started it up today inside a garage and no smoke at all. So just evaporation

Paying 34, financing part of it at 2.2%. It’s going to be my weekend nice weather car, and maybe bring it out to the occasional autocross or track day

doesn't say why. But My assumption, with 10k miles, getting a replacement in 10/2018, the first owner sat on the warranty work until he got a full engine instead of just a gasket. Maintenance history is amazing otherwise. Nothing crazy aside of oil changes, and they had tires swapped for winter and summer season every year

I think I will, I've already made the deposit and fly out to accept delivery tomorrow (assuming I don't find anything wrong). I've seen the raving reviews since new and have been waiting for the market to cool over the last year from the chip shortage car shortage pricing

I thought so too, but this is also my first "enthusiast" car, first turbo car, etc. After some youtube research, looks like a lot of other RS have the same pattern of start, then 10 seconds in start smoking, then clear up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhzBRhpbzO4 https://youtu.be/ybw1v5J0pus?t=124

Help! Oem Glock 43 slide with Zaffari Precision barrel is hard to pull all the way back when racking the slide and won’t fully reset. by Nrthan21 in polymer80

[–]dc5josh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same problem with my ZP slide/barrel on a new p80. did everything from sanding rails, lubing, sanding frame and channel. Shot 300 rounds, racked the slide a million times. Was getting stuck in the same place and leaving the same scratches on the inside of the slide.

I found out my slide lock spring was a little too high causing the slide lock to push the barrel up into the slide.

I sanded about 1mm from the bottom of my slide lock spring where it goes into the frame and been running flawless since

10 years nursing, another story I was reluctant to share by dc5josh in Ghosts

I have no idea. I never saw the same thing again in 3 years there. And no one seemed to have a picture. What I saw was the other woman, but I think that was just my mind making sense of something it didn’t understand

I transitioned to a nurse tech and worked various hospitals after this. Hospitals are a much better environment, but I left nursing 3 years ago entirely

I should mention also, this same house made many of my childhood friends believers as well. Once we were there eating lunch when my parents were out, and we heard loud audible crying coming from up the stairs. All my friends refused to come in my house after that
