Funny, I emptied my vacuum cleaner's capacity 2x after vacuuming. Probably a 1lb of just crud, quarters (paying dividends!), pens, a rusted allen wrench, pack of gum.

I also pulled out what I think is the OEM blaupunkt amplifier or whatever. That weighed a good 3lbs.

New question - do earlier ('89) C4 cars lack the rotary spoiler switch? Internet photos of a desired car show only the 4-wheel drive rotary, nothing for the spoiler.

pi5tolpete

correct. 89 C4 cars have a single rotary **** for the differential lock. To activate the spoiler manually, there is a small switch in the engine bay on the deck lid beside the spoiler motor.

are all rear wiper delete plugs the same or is there a preferred one? I accidentally snapped my rear wiper arm not knowing a new one costs about as much as a gallon of blinker fluid.

STOP ... See so many wiper deletes already!
LOOK ... For their now unneeded wiper arms
GO ... Post a wanted add

This is the one I got, its not cheap by any means and it was tough to hit the order button, but I didn't want a cheap rubber look and have to play with silicone to prevent leaks. Its a nice looking piece. I think it ships from Greece, so it takes a little while before you get it. I really like the cleaner look, plus I never need to use mine.

I have micro-cracks at the base of my magnesium fan. Until I order the new fan and get it installed (professionally as it seems there is a lot of wrenching),'to ease my disquieted mind while driving, would it make sense to put a little superglue inside the cracks and ensure I balance it with equal amounts at the opposite side?

Super glue isn't going to help. But if you want to see what happens to the trunk and engine bay when the fan fails, there was a good thread not too long ago. What a mess...

which MOTIV bleeder are people using ... the red label or the black label one?
seems the black is only a bit more pipe and some ali bling ... am I missing anything?
thanks!

Any good body shop paint supplier can formulate it for you on the spot.Just bring your paint number.You can get any amount.From a half pint to a gallon,or a rattlecan if you ever needed one.Ask any body shop where they get their paint.The little bottles from the dealer are a ripoff to me.

I bought the version with the aluminum cap because with a C4 you want to bleed the hydraulics wet, so that plastic cap that has failed many times in the past, is all that is between you and a few quarts of brake fluid all over the car's paint inside and out.

I had the same questions, is it worth the extra money, etc, but there were enough horror stories to make it worth while.

With a C2, would it matter as much? Not likely, since you would be less likely to wet bleed.

+1 - I bought the Motiv Pressure Bleeder - Black Label which came with an aluminum cap. It works for both my C2 & C4.

I found a great deal on a slightly used red label version locally. I use teflon tape on the threads of the reservoir to avoid any leakage. It's held up well in four years of light usage.

thanks all!
