Hi! New to the forum and checking in.
Little help needed on new-to-us 2000 ragtop!
Steering button does nothing. Tried soft reset - nothing.
No noise from passenger lumbar motor.
Keyless entry fob does nothing.
water in passenger floor.
Can't open center console.
Where can I get a C6 tire pump kit?
Anyone running Cooper tires?
I bought this for my wife because she couldn't "bond" with her new Audi 3 TDI after I traded her VW CC for it!
I've had two previous Vettes: a 78 that I totally restored and added TPI, and a 70 454 4-speed ragtop that I sold in the middle of its restoration. Got tired of it before I finished it! Nothing like replacing a windshield frame to burn you out! Oh yeah; I'm 69 years old and been wrenching my own for 55 years.
Immediate plans: repair above, install Bilstein HD shocks, Cooper tires, wires, plugs, all fluids.
