    Video: C5 Turn signal bulbs keep going out?

    Many C5s have a problem where the top of the turn signal gets cracks in it from the heat of the bulb. When it gets wet water gets in there and breaks the light bulb. Here's a video on how to fix that using JB weld. It's been many years since I've fixed mine and I haven't changed a bulb since I...

    Non Run Flats Your Experience???

    When my first set of run flats wore out I went with Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS, $700 for a full set from tirerack.com a couple of years ago. They are MUCH quieter, stickier, and better riding... I won't go back.

    Charging system fault

    I've had that problem a few times, each time I tighten the nuts on the battery and it quits for months. Then they loosen up again and I get the message again. Might check all your grounds too... Save the wave... Doc

    Can't find VATS bypass for a C5. Help!

    I just had the same problem with my 2001 coupe! It wouldn't start for me last week. Fortunately I was in the driveway of my friend the certified Chevy mechanic when it quit completely. He said, 'looks like the sensor that reads the resistor in the key has gone bad, no problem, we can bypass it...

    K&N induction system problem

    Something isn't right. I put mine on a year ago, no problems. It does rub a little on the insulator that is on the hood in that area. Is your radiator mount out of position?

    How to fix your turn signal housing that leak

    My 2001 Coupe had a problem, the turn signal/DRL bulb busted the 2nd time in a few months due to water getting in the housing. I pulled it off the car and sealed the hole with some JB Weld. Here's some pics I took while doing it... http://picasaweb.google.com/land.dave/C5SignalLightsRepair STW...

    Engine Wash in C5

    I clean my engine 3/4 times a year at the car wash using the rinse selection (no soap). Leave the motor running at idle. Lightly spray it off, keep your distance of 3 or 4 ft from the motor with the wand, no high pressures that way. Then shut it down and dry off the motor and under the hood. I...

    0-60 times

    My 2001 Coupe A4 w/ 3.15 did a 0-60 MPH at 5.07 seconds with a full tank of gas on a rather cold day (53F) on asphalt. That's using a GTECH meter. The 1/4 mile was 13.39 secs at 110.3 MPH. I think I can beat that on a warmer day, the Goodyears don't hookup much below about 80F. My only mods are...

    C5 Hazard Switch replacement and Radio Removal info

    I took apart the old/bad switch today. Here's some pics for those who are curious... Before Top side Bottom side, note the IC on the left side Both together, the large black box looks like the 'clicker' to me. The thing you hear when the flashers or signals are on.
