‘99 540/6

226,000 miles on the clock. Cooling systems refresh. All hoses, (front & rear), reservoir, radiator, belts, pulleys, fan clutch. Hoping she will get me another 100,000 miles. Curious if she sounds ok? Figure my peeps in the Reddit community could give me some insight.

Cooling System Refresh

Complete cooling system refresh. Took a dump last week. Radiator split at the top. Complete system refresh this week. All the hoses, clamps & radiator. Wanted to bring her to my mechanic but it’s way expensive so doing it myself for a fraction of the price. Anything else besides the water pump & belts while in here. Belts are new & water pump was replaced a few thousand miles ago…

‘99 540/6 Took out drivers side door air bag months back & obviously the light is illuminating on the dash.

A few months ago I replaced the entire door & all of the connections are fine but the airbag light is still on. How do I resolve the issue. Thanks

Had car towed to a shop close to me. Had to order 2 coolant hoses by the firewall plus while he was under the hood had him replace drive belts & pulleys.
