Rocker on #4 came off, replaced all 4 on driver's side and injector seals. Cam was good. Right after I picked it up it started leaking coolant. Radiator. WTH, one thing right after another, super coincidence that it started leaking right after this. Another $1,200 out the door, spending money...

Batteries are all good. Drained the intercooler, maybe a quart, quart and a half drained out. Couldn't check the blowby since it wouldn't start. Had it towed to the shop and they found that the rocker arm came off cylinder #4. So they're going to replace the rocker arms and put in a new injector...

Could the no start be seized AC clutch?

Yes, coolant levels are same level and normal from when before I took it in. EGR is deleted.

I went out just to start it and let it idle for 10-15 min and see how it did. Now it won't even start. Starts to crank and then just clicks. ughhhh. Once I figure that out then I'll check the CAC. Pretty sure there's some oil in there, there's some residue on the outside of the boot.

So I recently bought my 2008 (deleted) and it didn't have service records, so I changed the filters and oil, was running great, with a little black smoke under acceleration until it warmed up after sitting for a week or so. Just had the coolant replaced and now it has a lot of white smoke until...

Ended up just breaking all the clips. Had to use duck tape to hold the cover in place when "sandwiching" the two pieces backtogether. The only thing keeping pressure on the cover holding it in place is the screws for the handle and the hinge. Not the most secure but it'll work and easy to adjust...

Yeah I was able to pull the original leather cover off with just a little tugging, so I don't know at this point other than breaking the clips and just figuring someway to hold them together with something strong enough to keep the new cover in place.

I've tried pushing the clip back from the lip it's on and have gotten a couple and broke one, but essentially I think I would need 18 small screw drivers to hold then all back and try to peel it apart. Don't think that's how it was designed to come apart if at all, lol

Another of the clip

This is the top of the lid that the padding sits on. You can see the access holes to the clips/retainers. Then a closeup of the retainer clip, then bottom of lid, the tried to show the inside of the side of the lid on how it clamps the cover on

I got just the cover. I've been unable to just find only the lid assembly. Only option for replacement of the lid is getting an entire console for $700 vs $20 replacement cover

The leather on my console lid is cracked and I'm trying to replace it. Got a decent replacement off ebay and the lid out. My problem is that the lid has 2 pieces that are "sandwiched" together held by 18 clips (9 on each side). The sandwich design is to wrap the leather over the top piece, then...
