is it normal?

[H8cold]

when i first start the car, it sounds really rough like it's not getting oil, maybe the oil pump is not pushing it through fast enough. Then about 30sec to a min. or so, it sounds smooth.

also, my annuel oil change, inspection, change of break fluid is due. I'm dreading to take my car to the dealer. I have after market rims on it now, should i install my OEMs back on before taking it to the dealer? I heard some stories about dealer scatching up the rims while service is being perform.

what do you guys use on the rubber sealents around doors and conv.

any ideas?

Normal rough engine on startup.

I wouldn't worry about putting OEM rims back on. Just do a walk around with the SA before they get the car and note any blemishes. If they come back after with curb rash make 'em pay for it.

Try gummi-pfledge for the rubber.

The rough idle is normal.... just runs rich from what I was told. As far as the other stuff, your call.... how much are your rims worth to you???

gummi pfledge? What is it and where do you get that?

[ersin]

Try this. And this is the first thing that pops up by using google's .


Cheers.
