    Keyless entry on 2000 Protege LX?

    When we bought the used 2000 Protege LX we got the keys but not the remote. The car does have power door unlock but we always need to use the key to unlock the doors. A thought just crossed my mind that maybe the car does support keyless entry and all we are missing is the fob? Does anyone know...

    Coolant Leak around the firewall

    Hi guys, So the coolant has been leaking slowly for the past two years on my 2003 Protege5. It is a slow leak that I just top off every oil change, but it is gradually getting worse so I think I should take some action. I traced the leak back to the top hose of the two that connects to the...

    Stock Height Aftermark Suspension Option?

    Hi all, So I would like to change my Protege5's handling a little to make the way to work more enjoyable. I was looking to put a stiffer rear sway bar, then I found out I can't do that because the stock rear shocks does not have enough support for a stiffer bar. So I started looking for the...

    Only 2 ignition coils?

    I have a Protege5. Awhile back while I was changing the ignition coils it came to me that...How can there be only 2 ignition coils? Since this is a 4 cylinder engine, each cylinder should be fired 180 degree apart. If two spark plugs are controlled by the same ignition coil, then it should be...

    Bent wheels causing vibration?

    I can't remember since when the vibration started. It is at the same frequency as the moving speed. It happens at braking/rolling/accelerating at all speed so I ruled out the the brake rotors, and the sound is quite of drumming then squealing so I ruled out wheel bearing. Now my guess is on bent...

    How soon should I change this belt? (Pic)

    So I start hearing belt (or whatever under the hood) squeaking every other start up since I left my car sitting around this summer. The squeaking would last around 20 seconds, and its amplitude is rpm dependent. I opened up the hood today and saw this. (picture) I never work on a belt or...

    Why does P5 have good handling?

    OK, so I have never driven other cars in the same price range. (I own a P5) But what makes our car a good handling car? If all car can do suspension mod, then what else is important?

    About my rear brakes...

    OK two questions. 1. I always feel that my handbrake is way too weak, so yesterday I pulled the trim and turn the nuts in there, it got tighter, but today when I drove I can certainly tell that my rear break is holding me back. So what is the proper way to make handbrake stronger? And the only...

    Types of coolant?

    My P5 is a little low on coolant. I bought the car a year ago so I have no idea what type of coolant the previous owner put in there. Is there a compatibility issue if I want to just top it off?

    Does resurfacing stock flywheel fix 'chattering'?

    Hey so I guess my clutch probably won't last until I get out of college. I'm pretty sure that I will get the Exedy OEM replacement clutch, but the question in on the flywheel.
