As to the oil change I have been going a 20-25% life left. Frankly I can find the prior posts that recommended going with 25%. Is this too conservative? :confused Tom

I drove my C5 all last winter. Never had any traction problems with the EMTs. Of course I wasn't pushing the gas pedal to the floor. Deepest show was about 3-4 inches. Here in Maryland we don’t get much snow, but we often have to deal with icy roads.

I'd like to see 400+ Hp standard or better a ZO6 Convertible Automatic transmission w/sequential manual shift In dash 6CD changer Better sound insulation on the convertible to cut wind noise then the top is up and no ashtray or lighter. Oh, I guess keep the ashtray I use it for coins and the...

C4C5specialist: Thanks for you offer of help, but I don’t think you want to tell me what all 35 codes mean that on my car’s label. As I was typing this reply I remembered to look in my Service Manual and guess what’s on page 0-14, the complete list. Sometimes my brain is just not working...

Thanks to all, I found the label. Now where do I find the “secret decoder ring” so I know what each of the codes means? Thanks Again.

May be a dumb question, if I took the time to look? But, where would I find the Service Parts Identification Label on my 2000 C5 Convertible? Thanks Tom

In general, you will loose about 1 psi for every 10 degress drop in temperature. With a good gauge check the tires cold ( Less that i mile of driving) and keep them at 30psi. Good Luck Tom

ok let's see if I can get all the question answered. car has 22,000 mile; it a rubbing sound not a squeak, and for rear diff lubricant changed with friction modifier, I don't think ever. Unless that's part of the 15k service. I have looked under the front end and haven't see an shiny areas...

I think it happens both ways, but I am sure the noice is from the front. I have heard it while backing up with the wheels fully cut. Thanks Tom

Just found this: Q: Fuel gauge drops from reading a 1/4 of tank to empty and the check gauges light comes on. Corvette Action Center, 2001-10-15 08:09:10 A: GM updated the fuel sending units used in the C5 Corvette and issued a service bulletin regarding this problem (TSB #010604022). The...

I had this happen on my C5 also, bu tthe problem went away when I refilled the tank.

When I am driving very slowly and cut the wheels all the way I get a scrapping sound. Any ideas?

Rob: They replaced the steering column lock. Tom

The cost of the repair was $3.00 to put gas in the loaner as they kept my car for two days. Love those warrantees. :s Tom

Not a dumb question. Let me try to explain how I see it. The velocity of 103 or 105 MPH is the speed at which the car is traveling at the end of the quarter mile. Time is how long it took, so simply the car with the 13.4 had a faster average speed over the 1/4 mile distance than the 13.6 car...

Rob: Thanks for the link, I rechecked by VIN and I am outside the range by about 10,000. I should get the car back this afternoon; I guess on this one I might pay the bill. Well, maybe not it's still under warranty. Tom

Yes its an A4 with 21,000 miles. Tom

Rocking the steering wheel backand forth very hard 4 or 5 times without the key in the ignition worked. Only had to do it once. VIN is between those numbers. Why is that important? Tom

THANKS AGAIN!!!! It worked and the car is now at the Chevy dealer. Tom
