I have a small cut in the boot on the driver side rear axel. I am confused about what will need to be replaced when I pull the axel out to replace it with a new one (just to get a new cv boot)? Do I need to worry about replacing any differential fluid? What about seals/o-rings? I read a lot...

Help: Rear axle grease on the inside LR (Driver side) rim and calipers. I took the LR tire off to attempt to change the fuel filter and found a big grease spot on the inside of the rim and found very thin lines of grease flung all over the wheel well. There were thin strands of grease on the...

I did a search and could not find the old thread I was looking for, it dealt with how to determine if your transmission is low on fluid by looking at the tranny fluid temp reading in the DIC. Does anyone remember this thread? Or am I loosing it? Anyway, the reason I ask is that I have noticed...

Anyone have any tips on what a ding like this could do in the way of mechanical/undercarriage damage? Looks like when the truck hit, it did hit in a pretty good spot (i.e. didn't get any moving parts). :cry

I am getting P0134 and P0154, they are lighting the check engine ligt. Any insight into what is causing this, and is there any possibility that I can fix this myself? Thanks, Mike

I filled the tank this morning and the gauge worked fine all the way to work. On my way home it worked fine untill the gauge dropped just a bit below full. I cleared the codes, works again. The last time this happened, it was the same deal, and the code clearing worked for a day, then it would...

Anyone have any insight (cough cough C4C5;) ) on this code. Specifically, it would seem to me that this is not the sensor itself, but rather that there is a connection problem. Does that have any basis in reality? I had this happen about a month or so ago, and I just cleared the code and it...

This morning I started my car and the security light started flashing. I didn't have the key all the way in the ignition. So I shut her down, inserted the key all the way and started it. About 1 mile down the road the gas gauge quit working, these are the 2 codes...... Any correlation between...

I am curious as to what, if any, injector cleaners are in use in your C5's. I think I close to stabilizing the crumbling of mine, and now am focused on some preventative maintenance. Is it a good idea to run a bottle of injector cleaner through my C5, if so what do you recommend. Thanks, Mick

I am currently having some squeeking coming from the engine compartment when the AC is on. It does not do this when I first leave in the morning, only after the car warms up. If I turn the AC off the noise goes away. I thought maybe it was the compressor going bad, but if that was the case...

Anyone ever have a battery explode? The battery that was in my '97 when I purchased it was an Exide. It had, and stress the word had there, caps on the top of it, so it was a "serviceable" battery. It detonated today when I tried to start my car. I was in the parking lot of a BP, and everyone...

Well, it looks like all my problems are solved (for now). The air filter was definitly not the correct one, because I cannot believe the difference the new one has made. Between the wrong filter and the probably partially collapsing duct, my poor car was not breathing to it's fullest. The car...

I hope someone can give me a reality check here. I recently bought a used '97 coupe with 55k on it from a local dealer. I have had the car for 2 months and the car has run fine. The dealer screwed up on a few detailsstuff during the transaction which is another story that will spare you the...

I am new, so Hello. Thanks to everyone for the very imformative information that is on this board. I for one appreciate such a resource! My question is, with all the conversations about car care (I went with a Pinnacle Kit) I was hoping to get some insight into how you all keep the engine...
