What have you done to your P5 today?
- Thread starter Tg5
- Start date
Speaking of squealing. I get an intermittent squealing, only when it dips to almost freezing, only when I run the heater or A/C at idle. It goes away when I rev the piss out of it. I unhooked the wire to the A/C thinking it was the clutch but it still happens...
Anyone chime in???

they may be glazed from slipping so much. when they get hot, the reinforcement strands melt and create a slippery surface. sometimes it looks like broken glass in the ribs. i had it happen to mine after about 50k miles.

finally put the 20mm ES bushings on my RB rear sway bar...i was running with the stock 16mm squished to all hell on it lol. yeah it is one hell of a difference just from taking a quick drive around the neighborhood. and i finally dont have a clunk coming from the rear! yay!
oh and since i'm finally back on here after like 2 months of being off, at what milage do you guys suggest i change my timing belt? i'm only touching maybe 83,000 miles. also should i be doing the water pump while i'm at it? that last question is probably a "hey you're a dipshit" question...

100k is a good time to change it. I changed mine at 98k. Definitely get the water pump done at the same time. Go with authentic mazda parts.

It's good to have contacts huh? ha ha ha
Got schooled by the lack of an impact wrench in trying to change my front mount for the AWR mount. Breaker bar, loads of penetrating oil, heat etc did nothing. Gave up, took it to a shop. They just called to say it was ready. Going to pick it up soon.

map sensor is in the left side of the engine bay, its got a vac line going to it, or it should, check that hose for leaks/cracks

Haha that's true. My buddy here hooked me up. You coming to the fun run tomorrow?
I added more oil to the P5. She runs like a champ but I have a pretty good oil leak coming from the oil pan. The fix would be to pull it, clean it, re-RTV it and all that s*** and I don't have the time to mess around with it at all right now.
I only had a 2 foot bar on it and the square head of the bolt started spinning against the tab on the part that is attached to the engine. That was the point where I gave up. Had I really wanted to I could have tracked down someone with a compressor and an impact wrench, but it was Saturday morning.
What did you do to get it out? I have read threads about it but I wonder what sequence of events did you go through? Did you take out the IM?
