Hi everyone,
Great site.
So two issues...one fairly minor and one not.
First the minor one. My 03 is showing wear and tear. I want to keep it a while so I decided to fix some of the cosmetic blemishes myself. I filled the dings and scrapes with body filler and got some of that dupli-color stuff and tried to match the silver trim (white body/silver bumpers and wheel flares)...big mistake. I thought the color was going to be a lot closer than it was. I looks horrible and now I am thinking of taking it to a body shop. Before I do though, does anyone know where I can get the 03 silver trim paint? The color code on the door says 056/FB41, Natural white body and FB41??, I assumed to be the trim color. But I can't find that trim color anywhere. Other than a body shop, any ideas?
Now the major issue. My fuel sending unit just started acting up. Even though the tank if full, the gauge is reading sporadically anywhere in between 3/4 and 1/4. I'm assuming it is the sending unit. The Distance Tank Empty (DTE) reading is also whacked out. It is dropping super fast while I drive. Hell, it drops while I sit in the driveway with the engine running. Has anyone had this issue? I Googled it and see that some have had the issue (no one mentions the DTE problem) but cant find any solutions other than taking to the shop. I'd like to fix it myself if I can.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
Tim
