So the other day expansion tank finally let up... Time to take care of some issues that i've been letting go for some time as well while its down.

Upon cold start was getting a squeeking noise as well, idler pulley was replaced a while back when it disintegrated time for belt tensioner.

Washer tank was leaking, rear wiper jet line plugged up as well, since the expansion tank went changing out all the coolant as well.

Rear parking brake was also not working and needed adjustment, right headlight had a little bit of haze starting up at the top, polishing out both lights.

Time for oil change as well as air filter, checked ccv caps for any crud while i have it all apart.















Rear spoiler off to get access to washer line







Air filter = dirty



Good time to get steam cleaner out and clean out all the cracks around hood/trunk/doors.



Creates a much more pleasant working environment when its 20 degrees outside



Air intake/rad fan out and belts off ready to go when my parts come tomorrow




Taking care of the lights, oil, and air filter tonight, rest of parts come in Thursday and need to pickup some coolant yet.

Enjoy
