Fellow AT P5'ers, My "O/D Off" button no longer engages when pressed. I've searched but have only found problems related to a blinking "O/D Off" light. I assume its a wiring problem (loose connection). Is their anything else it might be...maybe a fuse? Is it worth removing the stick to see if...

Fellow P5ers Have started to experience a "creak" coming from the left rear. Mostly occurs on stops and starts when the car pitches forward and back. When it first started, I thought it may have been attributable to the cold weather up here but it has turned mild and the sound shows no sign of...

Fellow P5ers, Do I need to remove the red strut bar to install a new battery or is there enough room to maneuver the battery in and out without having to do so? Thanks.

No, you're not missing anything, that little clip is a b****!!! It is hinged to the housing so you don't have to worry about losing it. The exact procedure is in the owner's manual but as I recall, it involves pushing in and down to release it. Your working blind and the wire digs into your...

P5'ers, I own an 02 P5 with 82000 kms (50000 miles) on it. This past weekend, I was checking oil, filter, belts... and dicovered that the oil level was down (about 3/4's to full on the dipstick). When I checked my PCV valve there was an oily residue on it. -Its been about 2000 miles since my...

Boys and Girls, I'm installing new Brembo blanks and PBR ceramic pads on my 02 P5 this weekend. The instructions from Brembo say I should prep the rotors with brake cleaner to remove the factory finish. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing, on one of those "tuner" shows, that they were able to...

Calling all P5'ers running ceramic brake pads ! My 02 P5 is due for a brake job (front pads and rotors). I've already got a pair of Brembo blanks and can get a good deal on a set of PBR ceramic pads. I already know about the performance, low dust, etc.. but on the PBR website, their 1-10 "noise...

Sorry, Ignore this one. Found all I needed with a search

Planning on doing my front pads and rotors soon (2002 P5). I've read in various threads and "how-to"s about lubricating the caliper sliders. I know about the piston but where and what are the sliders? Is there another moving part in the brake assembly I don't know about? Any advice would be...

OTTAWA (Don't blame us for what happens on the "Hill")

I envy the wheels and the fact that you don't need a front plate (%*!@% Ontario)

Looking to replace the stock rims on my 02 P5. Just bought new rubber (Hankook Ventus K102's 195/50's) so I'm committed to the 16" rim size. I know the stock offset is +50 but what's the minimum offset I can go with on aftermarket 16x7"s? I'm looking at a set of ADR's at +42. Thanks, NP5

Togan, Where did you get those seat covers?

Hey! I'm a recent P5 devotee and new to this forum. I've been surfing the boards for a couple of months and have picked up a lot of useful stuff so I figured what the hell - maybe I'll be able to return the favour at some point. I'm interested in doing some basic performannce mods...
