CD Player Volume knob/mechanism broke, rough engine start, etc.
Hey guys!
Im having a few issues... as usual. 1- The past half month my engine has been having a rough start for about 1-3 seconds after ignition on a cold start. If the engine has been running awhile and I turn it off and back on, no problem. Not sure what the issue is. Maybe the ignition coils? I had the service interval 2 done last year and no codes or lights being thrown. (96K Miles) 2 - The power/volume knob on the CD player felt loose and I could hear something rattling and so I popped the knob off and noticed the little metal rod was very loose and there seems to be a nut in there that is very loose as well. I tried tightening it but it continues to not tighten. The functionality still works, but the rod seems to have settled inside a bit more preventing me from being able to put the knob back on... 3 - I have to replace one of skinny grills on the front bumper, assuming I have to take the front bumper off to do this, is there anything else I should do/service while im at this? Replace xenon bulbs? Etc? Thanks for your help!

Help us help you better...especially with engine questions. You have no signature or model/model year info...so engine questions are difficult to answer...because we can't tell which one you have.

1. Most likely a vacuum leak or CCV system failure somewhere but the coils can go bad as well. Coils are usually easy to diagnose as the misfire will follow the bad coil. What software are you using to read the codes?
2. Remove radio, disassemble, and tighten up the rod that you push the knob onto. 3. You might be able to reach into the bumper from the top or bottom to remove the skinny grille. If you do have to remove the bumper, buy the two clips on the sides to have on hand as they tend to break. I managed to get it off without breaking them, but I have heard of many here breaking them.

I would also clean the MAF sensor for the rough idle. Fixed the rough idle on my e70.
