Nothing happens when you push the controller left to access the map menu? That's not a key problem--your controller has failed.

No, the light means DSC is non-operational, including throttle intervention. Without yaw data the system cannot reliably determine what corrections may be needed to stabilize the car, so it will do...

Many of those so-called "flippers" are either time-wasters or outright scammers who fire off scattershot offers of 1-2 grand below list on every ad they see, hoping a sucker will bite.

Nope, it's not. Check your coolant level--you should get a warning light in instrument cluster when it's low but there's always a chance that sensor has died. If topping-off is required, use a 1:1...

I think you're right: The hole is clearly visible in your last photo. Second cross-tube from the top, about 25% of the way in from the right side. It's a lot bigger than a pinpoint, too. :eeps:
