So this is just another ECBM program? I have mine done twice already and if this is a new one I will bring it back in since this was done months ago. I think the problem is more then a ECBM problem. It is terrible in cold weather and I have to let the car warm up every time before I drive it. That is not necessarily a bad thing in cold weather but if I should be able to start the car and go.

Sorry about that. When I saw ECBM I thought it was another program that they have already done twice to my car. If I call my dealership I can have them refer to this bullitin #09-05-22-001 right? This is not an official recall is it?

This, as with all TSBs, is not a recall. And the dealership still has to verify the condition before ordering the parts, unless they have on record that they verified it before. Some dealers may just order the parts without seeing the vehicle, but that's up to them. You might try calling the Service Manager.

wont matter anyways I baked it in the oven anyways to try and take it apart and i slightly melted it. It's a piece of crap I never have liked Autometer anyways. I guess I shoulda explained before, I done trashed it after I got my Aeroforce gauge anyways. Eric how's your's working? I love mine. There was a guy at one time that was looking for one in Canada he said his was imperial and wanted a US model gauge.....
