I was always curious what these red lines meant in the speedo at 30 and 50 kmph, does anyone know?
Excuses my failing phone camera :)

Is everybody getting the suction pump recall done even if you're not having any issues with it?
No issues here BUT I'm thinking it's probably worth doing. I don't know a ton about it though, hoping next year I can do the LPFP and MPI so I might wait until I'm done playing around in there to do anything recall-related.

yes.....I wanted to just get it done "in case" because of my fueling changes soon

Had it done because I was going to be near the dealer anyway. Took about an hour with no gas fumes afterwards. It has been fine since.

At some point they integrated it into the tank so its not so easy as to pop a $25 part in there in 30 minutes. If you plan to do fueling mods and have an open recall 1000% suggest you have it done prior lest they fuck your shit up.

Yeah, I think I'm beyond that point with all the fueling mods that I've already done to my car. If I bring it in to have that done, which I probably won't unless it starts leaking, the mechanics at the stealership are going to be like WTF!

I don't have any issues but at 8 years/60K I'm paranoid something is going to fail/break. Plus its a $50 part that I can probably install myself so why not.
