Default My S4 didn't like the temperature outside this morning.

The excessive amounts of exhaust smoke in this weather kept me paranoid of blown turbo(s)

With windchill, it was -35F

Default Lots of people here in MN had problems with the 2.7T leaking fuel from the fuel line

Apparently this is a common problem. People reported gasoline smell everywhere, including inside teh cabin. Others reported freezing breather hoses and oil going into the engine and burning out a huge cloud of smoke through the exhaust.

I was lucky enough to not have to drive. She has been parked in teh cold weather nonetheless, but I have not started her up. My 1996 Dodge Dakota 4-cyl 2WD fired right up every time!
