Thank you, Sir!

I just got a 2019 Signature with 50,000k miles on it. It's on the bulletin from 10/15/2021. The Credit Union guy gave me the CarFax to review but now I can't find it. I remember looking it over and just noticing oil changes and tire rotations and such. The engine compartment is extremely clean...

This is probably the route I'm going to take, although I have no problem trimming the rear bumper cover. I installed a factory tow package on my 09 Odyssey and both bumper covers had to come off. Front one for the power steering and transmission cooler, and the rear for running the tail lights...

I bought a 2019 CX5 back in September, but have only driven it about 30 miles since then. Can't remember the steering feel. I love my oil burning '03 Protege5 with 257K too much to quit driving it! Anyway, tried just about everything on my '09 Odyssey to get rid of the heavy steering effort...

I have a weird problem on my driver's door. If it's been sitting in direct sunlight the keyless entry actuators won't unlock the door. I can see it trying to pop up, but no joy. Is the sunlight heating the door enough to warp or deform these parts? Using the actual key to open the door works fine.

Benji, I just listened to your sound file with headphones on. It kind of sounds like something hitting a cover. Maybe the timing chain/belt tensioner is worn causing rubbing against the cover. Our Guzzis make a similar noise when the tensioner wears out. My P5 motor is about the only one I have...

I'm in the same boat...er, car. 03 P5 with leather and a rebuilt transmission from about three years ago. Car now has 250,000 miles on it. Single stage Vivid Yellow is faded. Number four cylinder has horrible compression. Gas mileage is down to 18mpg. They're starting to hit the junkyards now...

Rough idle could also be worn motor mounts. Especially after 260,000 miles.

Interesting thread. I'm trying to keep my 03 Vivid Yellow P5 alive as long as I can. Number 4 cylinder has low compression so I'm only managing 18-19 MPG in mixed driving. Anyway, I believe you said your car is a manual. I listened to the sound bite as best I could on my PC speakers at work. It...

NGK BKR5E-11 are OEM on my '03 P5.

Ditch the Autolites and go with NGK. Check to make sure the wires are on snug. You should here a click on the 1 and 3.

Oh great, a double post. Sorry

Hey everybody, newbie here. My wife has been driving the P5 with the CEL on for at least a year now. It now has 72,000 on it. Although I have religiously changed the oil every 3000 miles, I just now got around to changing the spark plugs. They each had well over .050 gap! Anyway, borrowed a...
