Thank you so much for getting right to the point! Nothing grinds my gears worse than looking up a how-to video where the person adds a 3 minute introduction telling viewers what he is about to do and why he is doing it. Know what I mean?
thank you! my 2016 is a little different... have to remove the wheel well plastic with several torx fasteners, a 10mm nut, and a 7mm fastener in and along the wheel well/ fender and bend it back behind the front axel everything else appears the same...
Never in my life have I owned a car that required the removal of a motor mount to do anything with the engine... I had to replace the serpentine belt and guess what, motor mount had to come off... Alternator is going out in this pile of s**t now... Less than 140k miles on this car and it's already needed a major engine rebuild, replacement turbo, replacement oil cooler, 4 oil seals went bad and I've been through 3 serpentine belts... The blower motor went out a month ago and now that it's winter, you can't defrost the windows to drive this thing... Leased the car 4 months ago... It has been a nightmare... Buick use to make good cars... WTH happened with this model? It's literally the absolute WORSE car I've ever driven... EVERY single month, it's something different needs fixing... I'm literally afraid to drive it... I'd trade it in for a Chrysler at this point, IF that says anything at all...
