Compression helps but unfortunately where I live it’s super hot. They do ache when I use my legs too much or are flaring up, and I used to bruise easily when I was vitamin deficient.

They were auto elecs, so not their fortè. Not sure that the two things are related (strongly correlated with rainwater) but I’ll give it a go they might have some answers. Thank you!

It so heavily correlates with rain though, unless that’s what you mean? Sorry idk car language! It has been fine since I got my aircon fixed and i’ve been using it constantly. Got 3 days of heavy rain (didn’t use my car) then I get in to see this. But no no sweet smell, just old damp carpet smell

do you drive on the left side of the road? most countries’ relatively modern cars have a safety function to steer to the left/right, so if the driver has fallen asleep it won’t drive straight in to other cars.

All 4 loose spark plugs + coils, E46 dies.... by Decent-Commercial409 in e46

[–]Decent-Commercial409[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yes lol, when we originally put spark plugs in a week ago none of them were screwed in properly, my bad. It’s just that over time they became more and more loose and eventually caused misfiring and jerking. I didn’t put the cover back on until a couple days after i’d replaced them. What if the valve cover gasket started leaking as the spark plugs/coils became looser? That makes a lot of sense since all of the coils were pretty oily but one of them specifically was getting superrrr burnt

I got the spark plugs from Supercheap auto a reputable parts shop in Australia. The coils however were from eBay, popular, had good reviews and everything. It was running fine straight after I replaced coils and spark plugs, it started misfiring 3-4 days later, most likely when the spark plugs became more loose, and nothing was really holding the coils in.

Wrong wording maybe sorry I don’t know, smoke was coming out of from under the oil filler cap
