So I finally spent a couple of hours taking off the intercooler just to see what was what down there (yes, a couple of hours. I am super new to working on cars).
As I remove the intercooler and put it down, I see this:
Those two bolts were missing and then I look down and they were just sitting there loose where the two arrows are. I bought this specific car because it has FSH from Toyota and only one previous owner. Seems sometimes mechanics at Toyota don't know what they're doing? Anyway, for some reason this really annoyed me. Just wondering if this is even a big deal, or nothing to get worked up about? I've obviously put them back.
Another thing I wanted to ask:
I'm planning on cleaning the EGR soon and maybe even add a blanking plate. From this picture above, can you guys tell if it looks super dirty or not too bad? Car's been rough idling so I'm thinking a good cleanup is probably required but, as I said, I am very new to all of this and just EGR clean seems like a big job, I don't know if "cleaning" involves having to remove the manifold as well...?
