Hi all, I have an odd problem with my P5 that my mechanic can't seem to fix. On low idle (below 1000rpm) when the A/C compressor is running, it ticks like mad. As soon as I give it some gas and bring the RPMs up above 1000, it goes away. They have replaced the compressor twice, but the problem...

The mechanic for the dealer I bought the car from couldn't hear what i was talking about until I had him sit in the car. He claimed that the bushings, links & swaybar were all new and there was no play in any of it. I have seen the parts in question on a hoist so I know that to be true. The...

Sort of a double clunk. It also happens when I start rolling in rev, ie. going to back out of a parking space. Thanks for the tips so far guys. E.

Thanks slavrenz, kinda suspected that... will look into it. E.

Hi all. My car has developed a front end clunk when I turn the wheel almost all the way to the left (not so much to the right). This is noticeable at slow speeds and it doesn't make any noise when going over bumps at all. The links are new, so I'm guessing they are not the problem. NO the...

Nice work guys. I'm diggin' the blacked out headlights... may try that soon. E.

Today... I put in my Grom Audio kit - had a hellofa time getting the stock head unit out, but found some great tips on the net. I also "installed" my Ped3 iPhone holder. Good to go .... for now, He he he. E.

I think I got a pretty good deal on it; $5200, with S&E, 2yr drive train warranty. The dealer also replaced the front and rear links for me. What do you have for snow tires?

Thanks for the responses guys. It is an automatic with 170k on it, but its in good condition apart from some rust on one of the rear quarter panels and the bottom of the front passenger door. I'll likely tint the windows and change out the stock Dunlops for a start, CAI too, at some point. Too...

I've got rust bubbles on the rear passenger wheel well and the inside/outside edges of the front passenger door. I love the car... hate the rust.

Thanks, Carter. I have some extra cash sitting around in a paypal account... I think I will order one now.

Got mine last Saturday after looking for a while. I'm lovin' it!
