03+ manual P5 150k on motor, lower bearing bad. Does the motor have to be pulled out in order to replace just the lower bearings? If I have to pull the motor, is it more cost-effective to just replace the motor with another used, around $900 with shipping. If I have to do all that, is it...

My 03+ Manual P5 234k is in superior shape EXCEPT, bad lower engine bearing, and bad alternator. Everything else works well, minimal rust, new Dunlope, etc. Alternator replacement easy, but I don't have the mechanical expertise to fix the motor myself. I think it is probably too expensive...

Time to get used replacement engine. What should I be looking for in compression numbers, and oil pressure numbers? Thanks

Need to replace motor for manual 2.0 p5 under $800 w/ shipping. Other than protgs, are there other direct swap options, probe, focus, etc?

Was busy and once again let oil drop to 2 quarts low. Idiot! Last time blew out bottom bearing. This time valve like tick. 200k on this motor, 230k on car. 5 speed. Blows no noticeable oil. Uses about 1 qt oil every 1500 miles after oil change, 1000 after that. No noticeable smoke...

Emission test failed. What should I expect $$$ to pass test. Might be O2 sensor. I was told by Midas that cat was bad. Need to be legal again. Gootta fix quickly as I'm past due date. Any advice is welcome. Thanks

This isn't about my P5 but you guys are great at this stuff so asking for info here. Girlfriend has a 01 Hylander V6, 150k. Uses alot of oil. one cyl has pressure 30. The rest are fine. All of a sudden now shakes while running, flashing engine light. What would cause only one cyl to go bad?

The parking brake light comes on during moderate to strong braking, then goes out. Brake fluid is up to "full" line. Rear calipers replaced w/in 6 months. Front calipers w/in 2 months. Any ideas? Thanks.

I did a search but wasn't successful. Other than unhooking the battery, how do you reset codes? Thanks

5 speed 03 P5 227k miles. Under acceleration load, shudders under 1500 RPM, then catches and runs normal above 2k rpm. Shows a Cyl 2 misfire code and flashing engine light. Stopped flashing Took to dealer. Useless bastards had it all day, $125 later said it runs normal, but I could...

Replaced rears 2 months ago w/ same, new centric calipers, rotors & stoptech street pads. Result was no longer excellent stopping as I had before. Was going to replace front w/ new rotors and stoptech street pads (vs posiquiests which stopped great), but centric 2 yr calipers were stuck, so...

Since I had new brakes and bled system, clutch is somewhat eratic. Since it's all one system, can bleeding brakes affect clutch action? Does the clutch system need to be bled to get air out, like the brake system? If no, why not, how is it different than brake lines? If yes, how to do it. Thanks

Does the clutch system need to be bled to get air out, like the break system? If no, why not. If yes, how. Thanks

Presently Stoptech Street performance pads. parts store rotors. It's time to change pads. I will go w/ Posiquiet ceramic pads. Do I need to have the rotors turned, or can I just slap on the new pads w/out resurfacing?

Our P5's take 3.7 qts on oil change. Can't tell you the number of times service places overfill, dealers the worst. Motor even sounds different. I know over filling can put undue stress on seals. Anyone know at what point of overfill is problematic for seals?

There were some speaker replacement posts a couple of weeks ago. I stumbled across these today. Don't know if they are any good, but might be worth checking out for those still looking for speaker additions. $55. Visonik VP6TBX 6.5 Inch 400 Watt 3-Way Car/Truck Sub Enclosure Speaker...

Passenger front tire has excessive wear on inside side of tread. Driver's side OK. Allignment, ball joints, me sitting in car upsets tire patch contact, rt cornering force vs left? Any ideas?

5-speed P5, 2003 end of year model. Original 2003.5 motor gave me 37 mpg highway during the summer. Since I've replaced w/ a 2002 sedan motor, best I can do is 32 mpg. Anyone know if there were upgrades or changes in injectors or other parts that would account for the discrepancy? Thanks.
