What have you done to your P5 today?

[2003newlyack]

I have an optima yellowtop and it's had no problem starting up even in this -5 degree weather.. that's without the windchill
gotta love oswego

It doesn't make the noise while I am turning the wheel though. It does it if I already have the wheel turned and then step on the gas. Is that different than what you had ?

If the sound doesn't start till you step on the gas, it could be a belt. But if your getting any whining while you crank the wheel theres a good chance you have a bad PS pump. I would check your fluid level, pump(make sure its not leaking anywhere), check the belt, and check the fastener that holds the hose going into the PS pump in plase.

oh no3s! I can't let you catch up I'm at 79500ish

my mileage in the winter is much lower because parking lot drifting (in reverse lol, FWD for the lose) doesn't really rack up the miles much.. plus when it's cold I don't like driving with the windows down so I try to limit my time in the car

I drove her...wahooo!

so...33,001 miles?

I have a "MAZDA High Performance" battery in my P5, whatever that means.

Not sure what mine is but it still the original, 130k miles and over 5 years. Morbidly wondering how long it will last.

 

[Foolish]

Washed the front and back windows.

Removed old Zoom-Zoom sticker.

Applied new (bigger, blue) Zoom-Zoom sticker. +2.5HP.

horn stopped working a couple days ago, it gave the most hilarious sound before it died, the honk sounded like it had something stuck in its throat, then it dies, dead fuse im assuming huh? i dont have a owners manual, so does someone have the layout of the fuses?

 

[Kansei]

My horn does that when it gets clogged with snow and slush and ice.

 

[redpr5]

Im on my second redtop due to my tunes!

 

[Yaggie1]

It's weird, it's not a whining sound at all. I can turn the wheel all the way and it doesn't make a sound until I step on the gas. Only way I can think to describe the sound is like a crunching sound...........

If the sound doesn't start till you step on the gas, it could be a belt. But if your getting any whining while you crank the wheel theres a good chance you have a bad PS pump. I would check your fluid level, pump(make sure its not leaking anywhere), check the belt, and check the fastener that holds the hose going into the PS pump in plase.
