    ABS light and brake light coming on, going off and then coming on again.

    Wow. Maybe it's worth just replacing the entire thing now if it's going to go anyway. Also, important to note that my ebrake has ZERO braking tension to it, but it's been that way for about a year now.

    Funny smell. Maybe it's the clutch?

    Nope, clutch not slipping at all. Just a strong burning smell. Checked all of my plugs, totally fine. No more oil leak. Checked the oil level, perfect level. Smell is coming from somewhere around the driver side front wheel area. Maybe it is a sticking caliper. How would I verify that...

    ABS light and brake light coming on, going off and then coming on again.

    So my abs and brake light have been coming on on my dash. Along with these lights coming on, when I apply the brake, I feel a pumping like the abs is going off. After I pump the brakes a few times, the abs pumping sensation stops and the abs/brake lights come on on the dash and remain that way...

    Oil in spark plug hole

    Just changed my plugs. 1st hole on left had oil in it. The other 3 did not. This is a 1st time problem for me in my 90k P5. My guess is that it is a valve cover gasket leak. Any other thoughts?

    Back passenger side lock does not work - help

    Hey rusty nuts, do your doors also make this funny clicking sound? Something is not engaging and I'm not sure what or how easy/difficult it is to fix. My car has what appears to be the common P5 problems: rust, seatbelt buckle and now this.

    Back passenger side lock does not work - help

    Ok, the lock itself goes up and down when you do it manually. However when you do it via the control on the driver's door, the lock does not respond, only a funny clicking sound. Any ideas?

    Need help with seat belt

    Hi all. New here. Snow has finally melted in NJ. Here's whats going on. I have a 2003 P5. My front left (the driver's) seat belt buckle is not working. The male part goes in about 75% but the female part does not engage the metal male part. As far as I can see there is nothing jammed in...
