    Hey Auto P5'ers ... O/D off not working

    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...

    Rear End Creak !

    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...

    Dumb Battery Install Question

    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.

    Oil on PCV ??

    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...

    Rotor Prep

    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...

    Question on Ceramic Pads

    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...

    Slider Lube ??

    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...

    Offset Minimum for 16"

    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

    Decent looking double DIN's

    I have an 02 P5 and am looking to upgrade the deck and speakers. There doesn't seem to be alot of choice out there when it comes to 2X DIN decks. They're either big bucks or butt ugly. I'd be willing to go single but I don't have the guts to ask the dealer how much they want for that plastic...

    Newbie north of the 49th

    I've been cruising the forum for a couple of months now and decided to sign up because I love my 02 P5 and have already put what I've learned here to good use. Still have plenty of questions to ask and hope I can return the favour from time to time.
