  • Broke Heater Control Valve when fixing spark plugs

    So as I'm getting off at my exit for work this morning, I notice my temp gauge rising quickly and approaching the red zone. That was about the time I noticed the smoke coming from my hood.8-O I popped it and coolant is spraying all over the place! So what do I do, "KYLE!!!!" Of course I called my new BFF, Kyle. The leak was at the heater control valve, which broke right off when Kyle touched it. Greeeeaaat!

    Conclusion:
    Well, I am just a fricking genius! So the spark plug on the passenger side that is furthest in the front was a ***** to get out! I tried squeezing my hand through this small space to change it, no luck. I guess I was a little rough, because I must have put too much pressure pushing on the heater control valve while trying to maneuver my hand. Dur-Dur-Dur! Need more finesse when working on my car!

    Bad stuff comes in 3's, so 1) lambo door shock 2) fuel injector 3) heater control valve... I'm good for a while!

    At least it's a cheap and easy fix! Thank you Kyle, for fixing my car AGAIN!!!

    Sorry, I just had to do it. I really don't think they are that bad and that sucks that you broke your car.
