****** oil change would only help and might solve the problem but i wouldnt just drain and refill, this is not good as you dont get all the oil out and then you are mixing new with the old oil, i would have a ****** flush done, bg is one type and the best i know off, the flushes 100% of the oil out, it uses a cleaner and conditioner also. we use this machine all the time and it works good, if you major ****** problems it wont cure them but sticking valve and solenoid it cleans them and gets them operating again, i would say it works 75% of the time to help a ******. good day. note : google bg ****** flush machine and read a little bit about it. good day.

Check your fuse box. look at the diagram on the fuse box cover to find the fuse for your dashboard gages and pull out the fuse. look at the center of the plastic part of the fuse. if the small metal bridge is broken replace the fuse

Any automotive paint supply shop, or body shop can help you find the colour code.

this should be a 12 pin connector early OBD connector not newer 16 pin

this sounds like coolant, as this car uses the pinkish radiator coolant, you may have a leaking radiator or a bad hose, you will need to pressure test the cooling system to find the leak, the only other fluid is the ****** fluid but thats more of a dark red color so i would say its the coolant thats leaking, these cars have radiator leak as they get old but again to be sure you would need to look at the radiator and maybe pressure test it to find the leak. good day

you may have to get a locksmith to cut you a new key or they may have another solution .....cheers

SOUNDS LIKE YOYU HAVE A BROKEN SHIFT FORK, THE BOX MAY HAVE TO BE REMOVED AND TAKEN APART TO SEE THE DAMAGE AND REPAIR, WICH CAN BE EXPENSIVE, \TRY REPLACING THE BOX WITH A NEW OR USED UNIT IN GOOD SHAPE AND SAVE TIME AND SOME MONEY

The fault code 53 is an ECM IMMOBILIZED ERROR.
The immobilizer anti-theft system thinks the key is invalid. If it detects an error, it will;
Disable the fuel injector circuit--- Disable the fuel pump circuit---Disable the ignition coil.

Code 53 will set when:
1- The Eectronic Control Module (ECM) does not receive the signal from the Immobilizer Control Unit (ICU) within 0.9 seconds when vehicle is stationary, or 1.8 seconds when vehicle is moving.
2- The ICU sends the ECM an incorrect release message more than 5 times.
3- The above conditions continue until the ignition is switched off.

I hope this helps.

Here is a way to rmove the crankshaft pulley screw. Its fa previous solution of mine. But it will work for you. And this is how I always do it.

Get a breaker bar, 18 inch or longer, put on a socket that fits the crank pulley screw. Note the direction the crankshaft rotates when the car is running. Position the breaker bar so that when you turn the key the breaker bar will hit the ground and cause the screw to be loosened.

Ideally the socket will be on the screw and the breaker bar will be touching the ground. Turn the ignition long enough for the starter to turn the engine, and immediately turn the key off. Turn it for a half second and back off. Just long enough for the starter to engage for a split-second.

The clutch on the compressor will not engage if there is no freon in the system. It will not hurt to run the car until you can get the system serviced.
