2 seater tells me all the time that I am the guy that learns first the quirks the Reatta develops because of the miles I have on the Red [329,xxx of today]. Well today I learned another new thing. The plastic Teves reservoir is held in place with rubber grommets on two points on the top of the Master Cylinder. These grommets are also seals to keep the brake fluid from leaking onto the MC and then onto the ground. I went to Kendalls with my back up Teves MC and we compared the replacement units grommets to the original one on the car. The replacement unit grommets were soft and pliable, the original unit grommets were hard and cracked. So we swapped the grommets, saving me swapping out the entire Teves unit. Later this week I will be going to Gibson's the local You Pick yard for more grommets. One pair to make my back up complete again and another pair for "just in case".

Thanks to a google search, your advice from October 2020 helped me in December 2023. My washer fluid container sprung a leak, and I was struggling to remove it for repairs. Removing the air filter housing revealed the culprit hiding under the Relay Center: a broken plastic nipple on the washer pump. After reading your tip on how to move the Relay Center out of the way, I had the fluid container out in a minute, new $10 pump ordered from Amazon. Owning a Reatta would be a lot more challenging without experts like you sharing their experience. Thanks, greatly appreciated!

To the cruise control servo.

Now that I have discovered how easy others think changing the CPS is to do, I went back and removed all of my photos and personal notes about what I did when I replaced my CPS from the how-to guide I wrote. I left a few notes about the differences between the Buick Reatta and the car that was repaired in the video. There probably isn't a need for this how-to guide at all, but since I had already written it I decided to leave it in a shorter form. Maybe someone who has never changed the CPS on a Reatta will stumble across it and will find it useful.
