I've got the Goodyear Vector 4Season gen 3 and they have been great.
Be aware that, in some sizes, there is also a SUV variant, which I am guessing is a higher load rating. |

I had the OP's symptoms when my FL2 was about 2 years' old.
Had it fixed under warranty by the main dealer - They told me it needed a new wiper motor. |

I did my EGR valve a couple of months back:
No need to drain the coolant as you will only lose a mug full at most.
No need to jack the car up.
Also, no need to remove the O2 sensor as you can ma ... |

I'm no expert but is there not a sensor that sends back the position of the turbo variable vanes?

Won't be rectified by a Haldex service.
