Hi all, How much work is it for a novice to repair leaking with these: 1.) Power Steering Pump 2.) Oil Pan Gasket The Trans Pan is also leaking but I figured that is way beyond my capabilities. If anyone has step-by-step video and/or pics, that would be awesome. Thanks, S.

Hello folks, Does anyone have a step-by-step tutorial video and/or pics on how to replace the alternator belt on a (stock) 2002 Protege5 with A/C? I am mostly concerned about: 1.) The bolts breaking. 2.) Not knowing how to set the proper tension or test that it's ok. (I had a loud squealing...

First things first: Air is blowing on all four dial positions/speeds--but the A/C is shutting itself off on #2 and #3 (i.e no green light). It cools very well on positions #1 (lowest) and #4 (highest). Position #2 does not come up green at all (no A/C), and #3 is intermittently giving me the...

Hello, Can anyone advise me on what I'd need to buy to replace the driver side front hub and bearing? Apparently one of the studs just keeps spinning, and I was told to replace the entire hub as well as the bearing (even though the bearing is supposedly "fine"). I have ABS, in which case, will...

Hi all, The shop wants to charge me an arm and a leg to replace both heater hoses. They are quoting at least an hour because they look hard to reach. They completed a coolant pressure test and the leak showed itself in a couple of spots. That said, the leak may not actually originate at the...

Hi all, Stock P5, no mods. More misfire problems, but why so freakin' soon? August 2015, at 301,375 Miles, CEL came on, two codes: P0302 & P0172 Did all of the following: - Ignition Coil Packs (2) - Wires (2) - V-Power Spark Plugs (4) - PCV + Grommet (was a wreck) - Professional...

Hi there. 2002 Mazda Protege5 300,545 Miles! I could use some tips...IF you have the time and desire. Even when it was still well under 200K, the car has never like uphill climbs--but it has also never over-heated either. (Sidenote: I have a lot of problems getting the car to climb if the...

Hello. With a new battery & new alternator: Two weeks ago, I was a red light during rainy weather and my P5's radio and dash lights basically went bonkers flickering and such. I managed to park a block away and turned it off but it would not restart; when I turned the key, I was getting a bunch...

Hi P5 people. I'm searching for the driver's side seat (full seat). I literally want to pull the one I have and four bolts later, have the "new" one installed. I don't just need the track. Manual SEAT 2002 P5 Stock Here's what my interior looks like...

Hi Mazda Protege5 people! Okay, my Transmission is slipping into 2nd/3rd gear and the O/D light is blinking as well. I think this "downshifting" symptom is a safety measure brought on by the fact that the Pulse Generator is failing. My cheap OBII is not pulling any codes. I also found a video...
