So I have worked on these for many years and here is the most common issues and things to do. Oil changes with frequent oil checks Thermostat housing as they tend to fail along with the water pipe that connects the thermostat housing to the water pump. Water pump itself with friction drive wheel. Might as well put the friction wheel drive tensioner too. Yes the coils tend to fail so good that you changed them. Right side engine mount collapses and will cause some vibration Valve cover/valve cover gasket. Cabin filter!!! People never change them and will help with that smell along with a deodorizer sprayed into the blower and vents. Rear shocks cause cupping on rear tires because they wear out Rear sway bar bushings cause a rattle sound in the rear that is sometimes mistaken for the rear shocks. Axle boots tear and leak grease. We always just install new boots instead of the whole axle. Cheaper Axle seals. Crank seal That oil leak on the driver side of the engine is your vacuum pump. These engines burn oil because people use regular gas. The should be using premium gas to help from carbon build up. Oil pan reseal The coolant hose from the reservoir to the thermostat sometimes leaks. To restore the plastics you can also use the torch/heat gun method and it brings the shine back really nice. Just be careful not to burn it too much. Lol Overall they are decent little cars and fun to drive. The turbo model isn’t terrible but the fixes common to those are substantially more expensive. Hope this helps!

I'm in Real Estate, and we use Ozone machines for moves out. We set it with all the windows closed for 3 days and its Mandatory that no one goes in the unit, due to it being toxic. I thought the same thing when he sprayed the can, but I can see it being no where near as powerful as the machine unit and just using the name Ozone for marketing.
