Don’t be grandiose about making changes or being different. Don’t do too much to introduce or seem like you rely on your experience because it’s probably a lot less valuable than you think. Try to take in the experience in front of you as much as your own.

For example, I’ve had a number of SVMs come in with experience at domestic or Japanese brands… German luxury cars and customers aren’t the same.

Don’t make yourself a big list of things to fix, but when small, but achievable fixes are possible, jump on them, check them off the list to show you take action.

This is going to sound goofy… but watch the first season of Ted Lasso.

I work right across the street from there in the Autopark… pretty good pizza… but next time, shoot up 55 and try Mezza Luna if you haven’t.

Im switching to air cooled oil cooler sometime next week for im afraid the coolant in my original oil cooler would leak and make their way into the gearbox.

It’s not impossible, but it’s not a good reason to re-engineer the system. First, you’re saying oil cooler, and gearbox… so do you mean trans cooler/gearbox, or oil cooler/crank case?

Either way, oil pressure and trans pressure are higher than coolant pressure. Coolant pressure is around 1bar (15psi), oil pressure is at least double that. That means that if you have a leak under pressure, you can really only leak oil into coolant, not the other way around. These issues are very apparent in the coolant, generally plenty of warning to address.

What are your faults?
