Hi. Just became owner of a 2012 LT hatchback 1.4L turbo 6-speed stick (same color as forum banner photo) through marriage. It has over 150k miles on it. Only upgrades have been replacing a failed basic factory radio with an aftermarket touch screen with 4 new speakers, and adding a backup camera. Joined here to get help diagnosing some engine issues as I've never owned a turbocharged engine before.
In the last month, we've done some overdue repairs like struts and links, brake pads and rotors, and intake manifold.
Over the years, I've owned AMC, Ford, Mercury, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai vehicles and done most of my own work when able. Even done a ground-up restore on a '73 Ford Mustang convertible some years ago. Current garage has the Sonic, a '99 Explorer, a '14 Prius, a '17 Hyundai, and a '08 Vette convertible. Yes, we like variety!
