• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Anyone changed their 1330 trans filter yet?

HMMMMMMMMMMMM Maybe Jerry Rig up a purge the air in the system tool and bypass BUDS then :thumbup: and the dealer:thumbup: :roflblack:

Has anyone actually bought the BUDS software for home use out there?? The dealer version..I have also seen the non dealer version..


Yes anyone can own the BUDS system. All you need is a Laptop, buy the CAN BUS to USB interface module and the License. For maintenance on the SPYDER you only need to buy the SPYDER specific license for a very reasonable price. They are available in 1,2,5 and 10 year intervals your choice. This will allow you to bleed the brake system per the shop manual, SE6 transmission filter change as well as other maintenance/troubleshooting procedures called out in the shop manual. I have the BUDS and used it to Isolate a parking brake problem and use it to zero the sensors after I do Laser alignments.

BUDS is actually a lot more limited and generic looking than you'd ever believe. However, BRP Diagnostics is a great setup for the OEM software, and very reasonable. Just don't expect unicorns and glitter, you'll be disappointed. Up until about a year or so ago, we had been using it in the seadoo world when dealing with machines still using stock ecus. I always felt like I was working in windows 95. The biggest complaint we had was it seemed like we were noticeably slower to get the updates vs. The local dealer. Don't know if that's gotten better?? Never played with the spyder version though.

I have tried to contact BRP Diagnostics and got no reply.. May have to contact the local Stealer and see what they tell me on BUDS :bowdown:
 
You're Gonna Need B.U.D.S.

Here are the instructions on changing the HCM filter and cover assembly. Right side Tuppeware has to come off then its appears pretty simple but the last sentence on the page takes it out of the DIY category unless you have B.U.D.S. that is used to activate the venting.

Good to know. I missed that last part when I did mine. My Spyder must of vented itself as I had no issues. In 18000 miles when it's time to change it again I will have to see if it will vent on it's own again. If not I will bring it to a dealer and have them vent it.

I love the part where it says; 'NOTE: Replace HCM filter frequently'.

28,000 miles = Frequently? :dontknow:
 
What is the estimated price to have this done at a dealer?3-400?

I would guess that the total price would include an oil change with filters. However, an oil change is easily done by the owner. And the transmission oil filter replacement is probably the easiest part of the process on the 1330 motor.
 
It is not a difficult service. Take panels off and there it is, remove bolts and replace filter. Put pan uinder it to catch oil.......
 
I changed mine Monday as part of the 56K service, no B.U.D.S., no codes, shifts fine. Now the crazy codes for a spark plug change, that's a different story but they disappeared.
 
Changed three HCM filters so far - No BUDS required

Its easiest to just wait until your next 9300 mile or 15,000 km oil change and when you have a little extra time to walk through it but its easy especially if you have the ball head metric allen head sockets (Harbor Freight is a source). I usually let it drain a while, and take time looking over things while I get ready to install the new HCM hydraulic control module.

Clean off the surfaces and Remember to be easy on the cap screws when torquing it back and use a cross pattern to even out the seal on the filter module to the engine case. And the torque is just in inch lbs, so go easy.

That reminds me I need to order a couple more from BajaRon and some oil filters for the next change around 60,000 mi. DSCN2231.jpg

I opened one of the plastic cases, but little to see other than some pretty robust filter media.. I think Doc did a video on the HCM change.
