Hello friends, I need some advice on a coolant leak that I have found. The coolant is dripping from near where the heater hoses attach to a manifold that is bolted to the back of the engine block. I can see three metal pipes on the manifold that the heater hoses are hooked up to. The middle...

I’m getting a P0430 CEL for bank 2 catalyst efficiency. Replaced the O2 sensors with Bosch and still have the code. Here is two screenshots of my O2 data. Can anyone make heads or tails of this?? Photos attached. Thanks! What a headache to diagnose!

Wow... looks like the inside of a police squad car!

I'm in the process of installing an Alpine ILX-W650. Didn't realize there are two antenna cables I have to get a y connector for. Hopefully configuring the steering wheel controls to work isn't difficult! Good opportunity to replace burned out lights in the dash too... except they don't arrive...
