I used both Blue Magic headlight cleaner and the meguiars setup with the drill attachment.

Gotcha

i wish i could pull 40mpg! my p5 hits just around 30-31 in the summer on the highway

Well P5 have different ECU .... make sure you keep up with tune ups

19mpg ...you jealous?

Nope , lol , down the road I might get even less then that

i get roughly 26 combined driving on the turbo'd p5 with 150k...i can get 28-29 maybe even 30 on strict highway cruise (LRP a few yrs back)

Yeah i get around 40mpg on hw cruise , combine would be somewhere 26 too since turbo spools up too soon

Ah Bruce that sucks, sorry to hear that!

Anyone has an air compressor and an air hammer/chisel that I could borrow? (I have the bits) I need to get a rear hub out of the back of a Toyota Corolla, rear bearing is bad, the whole thing comes out, but it's seized on inside the knuckle. Would've been a 10 minute job. Been banging it with a 4-lb sledgehammer, no give. Thinking air hammer can do the trick. Any other suggestions?

Yep, I do. Wait... s***. Nevermind.

I've used generous amounts of heat from a MAP gas torch, follwed by rapid cooling courtesy of a product called Freeze Off that should be found at many major auto parts stores. Couple that with some soaking of PB Blaster, and you should be good to go. I use my air chisel for a lot of things tho, and it's helped on just about every one.

ash....are those projecters? nice!

uhhhh I'm putting the oem headlights back in...I've had the black headlights in for almost 4 years.

There's going to be a spring clean meet in Ohio... Just sayin.

Again I say, it's a damn shame I live so far from you guys.

Yeahh I think you're a fair bit farther away right now...

F'k, the left rear caliper on the P5 just seized up, just as I pulled in to work. Pulled the e-Brake to go around the turn and BAM that s*** is seized.

Gonna have to do an "in-the-parking-lot" repair job. **** me. Between the Corolla with the hub assembly I can't get out in my garage and now the P5, and all the Audi s*** I've been doing, I don't want to do any more car repair jobs.

 

[bazooka joe]

so oleg, you did this twice? sorry many...time for a new p5! turbo'd auto in sunlight silver? only 147k???

 

[Astral]

Haha, ditch my P5 just because of a seized caliper?

 

[bazooka joe]

sure! jk...

 

[Speed3.5]

get ms6 rear caliper (they're PnP) , they should hold better then replacing P5 rear caliper.

I thought you have been enjoying it with all the posts lately. If I lived closer I'd be there to help bro. Sorry

The p5 unseized at lunchtime, so I was able to drive it back to my house without incident. So that will be a garage repair job.

Now to finish up those rear brakes. Anyone ever work drum brakes? I need to take shoes, springs apart, remove the backing plate, press/bang the hub out and put it all back together.

 

[bazooka joe]
