Too many to list, and thankfully most have been harmless. The most embarrassing was replacement of oil level sensor and involves several instances of idiocracy. The first was related to attempting to install the aftermarket level sensor which, for those that have done this, takes some Mcgyvering to insert, rotate and seat the sensor. Well I could just NOT get the sensor to seat, and after a couple of hours gave up and ordered one from the dealership using PCA discount.

When the part arrived and I went to install, I noticed a notch in the seal that I had not aligned, which precluded full seating of the sensor. So now I have a spare.


Related, while doing the install, I cleaned up the take and put a magnetic flashlight in the rear wheel well so that I could see well. Excited to have a gauge that wasn't pegged after install, I washed my hands and went for a drive to get the oil up to temp to test out the gauge. At my 10 mile turn around point as I was merging back onto the highway I heard an awful banging around in the right rear wheel that went away shortly. I figured something in the road, right? When I got home and went to grab my light to check for leakes, I had to use a different light and quickly figured out that the noise was the light slamming around in the wheel well. No damage, but that was an $80 light. So a $200 afternoon based on not paying attention all around.
