In this thrilling episode of Tj Hunt's Vlog, the team unveils a range of exciting new items on their website, including a slick t-shirt inspired by their GT3 RS and some affordable goodies like tow strap keychains and a bottle opener. But that's just the tip of the iceberg, because the main focus of the day is none other than the M4 GT3. And let me tell you, folks, there's a lot to unpack here.
The car is throwing a handful of codes that are preventing it from reaching speeds higher than a tortoise on tranquilizers. We've got warnings about power supply, restraint systems, tire pressure, and even a tailgate that seems to have a mind of its own. But fear not, for the team is on the case. They've already tackled the issue with the hood latch, replacing it with a GT3 Hood that doesn't require a latch at all. Genius!
But the power supply warning still lingers, and the team is calling on the expertise of their viewers and BMW techs to help crack the code. They've tried resetting the battery and checking the grounds, but the mystery persists. They even entertain the idea of taking the car to a BMW dealer in San Diego for some professional assistance. Any takers?
Next up is the restraint warning, which could be related to airbag sensors and seat belts. The team believes they've reinstalled everything correctly, but they're not entirely sure. They're determined to troubleshoot and diagnose the issue, leaving no stone unturned in their quest for a drivable M4 GT3.
Last but not least, there's the clanking noise that haunts their dreams. It seems to occur when hitting bumps or pre-loading the front suspension. The team suspects it could be the dreaded bump stops, a potential setback that would require new front struts. But they won't let that deter them. They're ready to face the challenge head-on and make this M4 GT3 the beast it was meant to be.
So, buckle up, ladies and gentlemen, because this episode is a rollercoaster of codes, warnings, and mysterious noises. But with the team's determination and the support of their viewers, there's no doubt that they'll conquer these challenges and unleash the true potential of the M4 GT3. Stay tuned for more adrenaline-fueled updates from Tj Hunt and his crew.
