What have you done to your P5 today?
- Thread starter Tg5
- Start date
I will post a little update when I get the stalk installed, grabbed a used one for $18+ free shipping.
the tribute one I grabbed has the rear as well. It was odd how it looks identical to my current one minus the delay adjust ring. I remember seeing a different steering wheel installed on a P5 but I don't remember what model they swapped from, my leather is damaged and someone looks to have raged and broken the plastic where it's supposed to release the air bag. No light on the dash, it does illuminate during POST though.
Part of the problem is paying in Canadian dollars, and free shipping usually doesn't apply to Canada.
My stalk shipped from Quebec.
I think that I paid about $40 Canadian?
My wiper stalk ended up being from a Ford Escape.
(I don't recall how I knew it would fit?)
For anyone that doesn't know,...
You can adjust the aim of your spray by sticking a needle in the nozzles and moving them.

I tried that on my spectra that I traded for this one, I ended up worse off than before.
Yeah, it was a PITA.
It's really touchy.
It would either spray over the windshield or straight into the wiper blade with the wipers parked.
It took my about ½ an hour to finally get it spraying half decently.
I will try and aim them, gonna raid the ladys storage bin and find that needle I used last time. Thanks for that diagram pcb! I prob wouldn't have thought about using a deep end socket to get the tabs pushed down.
I got the wiper switch installed today, that was really easy, two screws behind the cover and it slid on out. About ten minutes and done.
Put the most miles in a single day on the p5 since I have had it, things went well and went through about a half tank on one drive. Looks like I will be looking into the knock sensor soon, getting some pinging under med load and I keep getting a p0402 without ever noticing a misfire.

No coverage issues with the tribute nozzles on mine.....
got about $400 in parts coming, timing belt, valve cover gasket, spark plugs (oem copper with the v groove, thanks pcb for the recommend) sway bar bushings and a 4 pack engine/trans mount kit. Also hoping the thermostat outlet comes, had a couple failed orders where they couldn't find it so they canceled. I also have the resistors for the flickering ac light fix coming. While those ship and arrive I tried tracking down my pass floor leak but I can't get the exact leak to happen. over a one night with thundershowers I get about enough to soak a few paper towels down pooling under the ecu but that's it. nothing coming from the hvac like the stopped drains caused. Checked wheel nut torque and found two loose on one wheel from when I had a flat.
Getting awefuly close to 300,000km on the daily Sport20, pulling together a few items for a big service. At the moment it's getting new fluids and filters all round, a cambelt and water pump, new sway bar links and I need to check that rear engine mount. What else should I check/ replace?

If it's not cold where you are but you like to rev the living snot out of your car then changing your T-belt every 100k km is a good idea.
However, people have gone over 200-250 thousand Miles on the original timing belt, and clutch too.

Along with hinges and catches,..
Don't forget to lubricate your cables and gear mechanisms.
The dust boots on either ends are removable so you can apply oil and grease to the wire inside,..
Be sure to use rubber grease (silicone grease/lube) so you don't dissolve your rubber dust boots,..
