What's with these Sh** ASM lines??
Like my title says - What's with the ****ty ASM lines on these cars? My car is a 2016 V12S with with SSIII transmission. The car has been a Southern Cali car it's life and it had 7,000ish miles on it until I drove it home to Atlanta 2 weeks ago (now has close to 10K on it).
Having the car gone through (New Mich PS$ tires, 4/5yr full service and other things taken care of) and come to find out that the ASM lines have degraded and need replacing. I mean, WTF?!?!? These are zero pressure lines, simple crimp style construct...can they not us the same material other folks use for simple oil lines that don't need replacing every 4-5yrs at almost $600 per pair. The earlier cars had a recall pertain to them, not mine as far as I can tell. The Aston recall helps with the cost, but doesn't resolve why these lines degrade so quickly; did they use new material for the replacement lines? Vent over... |
Those are ripe for local fabrication at a hydraulic repair shop. Save the fittings and have them rebuilt.
