Thread revival! Never had a chance to work on my car till now. Snow just hit, can't slack now lol. Anyways, finally dropped my oil pan, cleaned it up and getting everything prepped. I looked closely under the car and noticed there was a trace of oil by upper oil pan block. Pretty sure oil can't...

It was difficult without a floor jack but I manage to snap a few pics / awkward angle. Hope this is the main source. Looks like its the oil pan gasket. Hard to tell if there's something else leaking above it though. Sorry for the picture quality. So much rust wow.

I was thinking of doing that. Kinda hard because il be moving soon so I got no time. Wish I could just drive her, but looks like I gotta tow. Anyways il post up a pic when I can. All I can say is that the majority of the drips travelled down below the spring bolt flange. Plus little drops under...

Thanks for the info :) il look out for the crank shaft seal. Any other suggestions I should look out for? Also what do you mean by giving it some time? thanks again :)

Hey guys! My Protege5 has been stored in my garage for a good 9 months now. Never had problems prior to when it was stored. I thought everything was good until the belt was making a 3 second whining sound. Then I spotted a small drips of brownish oil. I was trying to locate the source but it was...

Just wondering does it matter what kind of car battery I'm able to replace it with? I was told it really doesn't matter as long as its not one of those SUV/Mini van (larger) batteries. I found a car battery on kijiji that came off a civic, he was telling me that it will not fit in the Protege 5...

Thanks for the reply! By the looks of it, yes, the lights, player and all that seems to work fine. I jumped start it awhile back in January seems to work fine. Haven't started it since. Something is telling me its the battery. (hopefully) It's been stored in the garage so its not like it...

I can confirm that I had 205/50R16's on my stock rims. No problems at all.

Hey guys! I've owned this car for awhile now. Bought a new car and basically stored my Protege5 in the garage. Been awhile since it started and it never really had any problems before until now. Anyways, obviously I knew the battery would be dead. So I charged that, waited for a bit and as soon...

Is there a certain way in removing the left \ right cable? By hand, pliers...or? When all that is done, how do I adjust them afterwards when it's completely installed?

Okay so besides removing the heat shield, how hard is it to remove the broken cable and putting the new one in?

Thanks for the info, I wonder if there's a tutorial doing this? Shouldn't be too hard... i hope lol

Pulled up my e brake and I heard something snapped, i assumed it would be the cable. I've been using first gear to park, but sketched out parking up hill. It tends to roll back without the e brake on even with first gear \ reverse. Hence the fact my drive way is up hill, it sucks i have to park...

Wow so much information in this thread. Glad I found it. :) I notice there's gas smell every time i step near the car. I took off my back seats and panel and right away there's a strong smell of gas. :( [/IMG] I've gone through this forum and notice that everyone has a problem taking the screws...

The same thing happened to me. I shook my car from the front then notice a clicking noise. I took off the stabilizer link, shook the car and was surprised the clicking stop. Easy fix for me.

Looks good man, how long did it take to dry before driving?

Looks fresh man. How much were the struts and springs? Can't seem to find one locally in Hamilton.

how many cans did it take to do your top?

Painted my spoiler + emblems about a year ago. Up to now it still holds. Wasn't expecting it to last this long.

By the looks of it, it will fit to replace the downstream O2 sensor. If your unsure about it, you should contact the seller if you have doubts. Did you manage to find a link for the upstream O2 sensor? I looked locally and they charged me 200 + wtf.
