    Lost my Telescopic Steering Wheel adjustments - Up and Down

    She’s all fixed up after a new motor was installed for a mere $720! The warranty on the new one is 3 years or 60,000 Kms. It’s done and moving on!

    Lost my Telescopic Steering Wheel adjustments - Up and Down

    Sadly the fuse was good, as expected since in and out work and resetting the BCM did not work either. Will give my brother a shot at it if he wants to, ex mechanic, or like suggested off to the dealer it goes. :-(

    Lost my Telescopic Steering Wheel adjustments - Up and Down

    Does anyone have experience with telescopic steering wheel issues? Mine will go in and out but as of yesterday it will not go up and down, which is more critical to me for getting in and out? Any thoughts / guidance is much appreciated. 2015 C7 Stingray

    A8 Automatic issues wide spread or not?

    They test drove it to make sure it was gone and it was completely perfect on my ride home!! All done, just the bill to pay!!

    A8 Automatic issues wide spread or not?

    So they called out the TSB and proceeded to complete the work. 4 hours of labour @ $140 hr plus 24 litres @ $35 litre all added up with taxes to just over $1200! GULP.....but a atleast it is fixed and I can now sleep comfortably once again!!

    A8 Automatic issues wide spread or not?

    I agree the price is crazy but since 80% of the cost is the ATF I would hate to do it myself and leave some old hydroscopic oil in there and have the issue come back. Fingers crossed that I get it fixed and none of you ever face this gremlin!!!

    A8 Automatic issues wide spread or not?

    Just facing ‘The Shudder’ in my 2015 Stingray that has just shy of 20,000 Kms. It was find when I parked it for the winter. I suspect the heated garage may have contributed to the moisture issue with the original oil. It’s going in the shop next Friday and I suspect they will come back...

    High Octane Gas

    Sorry for the late reply..... So I had 3 runs with the best being an 11.92 in the quarter mile and 216 kemp at the half mile! Not bad but was hoping for more. Had issues with launch control each time thus I spun the tires on each run. Practice launches on a quiet back road had been perfect...

    Can I hook my phone’s GPS into the Radio’s Screen?

    What are folks doing to their 2015 Vette’s to be able to project their phones GPS onto the radio? Recently did a big trip where it would have been nice to have. Don’t want to pay for onstar. Thanks in advance.

    High Octane Gas

    Hi folks, Im going to be running a Race The Runway event in a couple of weeks ( individual top speed in a half mile) and was wondering who has used High Octane Fuel ⛽️ in the past. As an ex racer I know that I will not make more Hp and I fully understand what higher octane brings to the table...

    Voice Contact Recognition

    The system in my Vette has nothing on my 2017 Ford Escape winter beater. The Ford Sync system is way better! I thought for sure that Vette and Caddy’s would be state of the art!

    TIRES

    When I went away from run flats with my C6 I went to Firestone Firehawk Indy 500’s and was very impressed with them. I had about 8000kms on them when I sold but they still looked new! The set of 4 were under a grand so that part was good also. Just thought I would share. Not sure yet where I...
