Had to fill in where that wheel turns and runs the test to prevent it from turning 360 just enough to pretend to the car that it's still in place and opening and closing for that motor wheel. Plastic Weld from Amazon. Been holding for 2 years now. No worries about zip ties.

Correct. No silicone would not work. Too soft and plyable. Needs to be a hard stop not to pass a certain point. It needed to be so precise that i used small pieces of paper towel folded up and if it didn’t work I would give it another fold to make it thicker. Once I got to the point where it stopped tripping the sensor I took that rough thickness of the paper towel piece and filled in with the plasti weld. If it were too much I would have to use a file to bring it back down to the specific point.

With doing what I said I got no other error codes or sensors. If you did a conversion there might be something else going on.

No that’s all. Just did that to what you see with the plasti weld and removed the flaps. Put the motor back into position with the upper and lower set point wheel on the motor servo and replaced. Now it spins as if the flaps are still in place when it hits those set points on the filler

There’s no other way to trick the system. I spent about 2 months trying every angle. Programming wasn’t the answer. Esp everything runs through the DME and that locks after the first 100 miles so there’s no way to even program that to trick it with any coding on that end. This is why whatever u code won’t work cause it’s being overridden by the locked out DME.

It’s in the middle under the motor for the flaps when you remove it. Yes it’s whitish/grayish in color. When I brought my car in for service the tech said that was the best thought out mod for something like that he’s ever seen. Your preference if you want to keep playing with zip ties or make it permanent.

So I think I've read almost every post in here, but I'm wondering why do this at all? It's not merely asthetic I'm sure.

I also noticed the fan would stay on for shorter periods and coolant temps are better. You vff check for yourself if you take out the grille. Use the secret menu by holding down the mileage button and unlock the secret screen to see coolant and oil temps.

Correct. Hold it for like 30 seconds. You'll only use the bc button. Next screen you'll press the bc again to scroll down to unlock. Then add up the last 5 if your vin, press the bc button as many times as needed then to enter hold bc until the next screen. Then scroll down to temperature and hold bc. You'll then have the temps
