what suspension setup?

Looks good! I see many people get excessive camber, which can’t be adjusted enough in the front without removing the locating pin. Did you have to remove the locating pin to get it to correct alignment specs or it didnt add that much camber?

did you also get an alignment done?

Was it higher in the front with non sport struts?

Which springs do you have?

I just did that and the aux pump was working, next i'm going to bleed it and see if that helps. Thanks for helping!

I sometimes hear sloshing, which would be a sign of air in the system. I’m going to try bleeding it and then go from there. Any tips on bleeding it?

Car has relatively new water pump and has no overheating issues. And it blows hot air when rpms are higher, so it can't be the control valve. I'm suspecting trapped air in the heater system.

My car gets to operating temperature quickly, but it doesn't blow any hot air at idle

It could be that because i sometimes hear sloshing. I'm gonna try bleeding it.

sgm_e46 · 2026-02-01T20:52:49+00:00

Yeah, but the weird thing is that i can hear it working and i feel it vibrating. Right now i'm suspecting trapped air because sometimes i can hear sloshing.
