Help removing bumper/P026a and P2187 Codes
 

I'm getting some codes and thinking the charge pump needs to be replaced . C2C1314. I've seen this code on my car before, and it went away. My car has a really rough idle, and it has even cut off on me on the highway. The car was on, but not the motor.

Anyway, I'm thinking of changing both, the MAF, and the charge air cooler. How difficult is removing the hood and front bumper?

The hood nor the bumper are difficult to remove. After you unlatch and raise the hood/bonnet, there are about 8 bolts to remove at the hinges, and it comes off. Need a helper so you do not drop/damage it. The front bumpers is about a 30 minute job...Just lots of screws and a plug and water line to disconnect. Pretty simple actually.

Good luck,

Also, be certain to mark the hinge plates and frame to index exactly where the hinges were located. This will ensure proper realignment of the hood without a lot of tinkering.
