The evaporator has a temperature sensor (aka thermistor) to tell the climate control module the temperature of the evaporator. Typically, the climate control module won't energize the compressor is the evaporator temperature is much below 40*F. When it's hot outside and the AC is running the...

I bet there's a block coolant drain plug under the exhaust manifold.

You need to consider how the car is driven. Stop and go driving is harder on the car in general than highway driving. My wife's ancient Accord is driven mainly on short trips. I drain and refill 3 quarts of the automatic transmission fluid yearly.

ALWAYS remove the fill plug first. Why? Lets say you drain the fluid and you can't get the fill plug out. Oooops!

That BMW 3 series (E30) (3rd picture) appears to have been mod'd as a targa.

^^^THIS^^^! At the end of the model year the manufacturer (or in this VW NA) sends the dealer a check the value of which is based upon the number of cars sold and the value of those cars sold.

Take it to the dealer and show it to the Service Manager.

Actually, the Supra and Z4 are built on BMW architecture by a company, Magna Styer, in Austria.

Wonder what the other cylinders look like?

Get/borrow an infrared temperature gun and check the rotors' temperatures. How often do you flush the brake fluid. It needs to be done every 2 yeras.

This! I replaced the battery in one of my fobs. Worked great for 3 days, and then kaput. Bought Duracell batteries and have not had a problem since.

I still use it. It great stuff, when you can find it.

Change the fluid and the filter. Modern automatic transmissions don't like to run properly when the fluid is either low or over-filled.

I use the following to clean glass: - 60% water - 20% alcohol (70% or 90%) - 20% distilled white vinegar - 8 to 10 drops of Dawn Ultra in a 2 liter container. Shake it up well and use! Zero streaking!
