The leaking hadn't quite stopped - and as the car was about to be used in long-distance driving, had the radiator replaced. Not at the dealer, since they'd screwed it up several times. |
| 119500 mi US $13 |
Gas Cap seal issue Error Code, Replaced gas cap, did not fix error code. Car performs very well, except it's briefly hard to start after fillup (just pump gas pedal) and the constant gas cap error remains. Maybe an egr valve/solenoid? |

Replaced Evap Pressure Release solenoid |
