    Default Lots of questions for the guru's

    Ok, wow...I got lots of questions today.

    Well. Here we go.
    In my expansion tank, I found that the coolant is actually a teal color...not the blue I put in...which is probly from the left over green stuff that was in my heater core. hope These arn't signs of anything bad to come?

    I then took some pictures of some stuff that have been done by previous shops.Remember when I couldnt get my bumper off? This is what I meant. Should I just cut some of the metal off that is touching the bolt coming out?



    Should I be worried that the transmission shop did some zip-tying?


    And....I should probly seal this hole up...is this the body shops duty? or mine? ~ I should have a lifetime warranty on the work done.

    Then comes my car pulling left situation.

    This is what my tire looks like now. Probly due to bad alignment (shop didnt use stupid weights)




    Okay...so the front is a lil grimy. I'm im being overly attentive, or do I have a leak somewhere?

    Okay, now I have a leak somewhere up top. What are these tubes for? They are fairly loose and movable.




    I believe lowell told me to look at my oil cap....exactly what am I looking for?





    And lastly...Where the heck is the Idle Control Valve? I can't even find it in my Bently. I need to clean it or something, cause I've got a rough idle =,(.

    sorry for all the noob questions guys. I thought I'd throw it all at you at once. Thanks in advance.

    1. Should I be worried about the mixed coolant? (green + blue )
    2. How should I get my bumper off? -Its stuck-Look at picture of bolts
    3. And lastly...Where the heck is the Idle Control Valve? I can't even find it in my Bently. I need to clean it or something, cause I've got a rough idle =,(. (most important)
    4. I have a oil leak at the top, Can't tell what it is. Coming from the two hoses coming out near the front of the engine (right next to the vanos).

    The rest was just really rants about how shitty my car is.



    Oh crap, I have a broken bracket...do you see it? (bottom line of those two up in front) Should I even care about that too?

    LMAO.... ok

    #1, no biggie, flush it in the spring.
    #2 Pull harder.
    #3 infront of the intake before the air box, should have a twist type wire connector going to it.
    #4 no clue

    Is it behind (engine side) the black plastic plate, or in front (back of headlight side of that black plastic in front of the airbox.
