#4263 of 4431 Re: 2005 Grand Prix Purchase by midniteprix05 Oct 30, 2005 (7:58 am)
Have no worries about the rental vehicle purchase. I am employed by Enterprise Rent-a-Car and i just bought an 05 grand prix base model and it is awesome. The cars (at least from Enterprise) are taken care of very well. Oil changes are on time, tires rotated, etc. I had leather, auto start, and a sunroof added to mine cause the base is kinda plain. The only thing i dont like about it is that it does not have ABS, the brakes feel strong, but they are kinda jerky. Other than that they are great.
#4264 of 4431 Aftermarket Help!! by midniteprix05 Oct 30, 2005 (8:04 am)
Does anyone know of any good sites for finding aftermarket goodies for an 05 grand prix. I am talking hoods, fenders, cheaper wheels, sounds, anything. I have searched the web and still can not find anything worth while to add to my car. If anyone knows any stores or sites. Let me know! thanks.                                                                  MidNitePrix Replies to this message: gmfan007 (Oct 30, 2005 12:02 pm) midniteprix05 (Oct 30, 2005 3:54 pm) hammen2 (Oct 31, 2005 8:13 am)

Replying to: midniteprix05 (Oct 30, 2005 8:04 am) Here's a gadget .... how about signal mirrors for the GP? I've had them on my '98 for years. They work great and look like stock mirrors. Easy to install with clear instructions and pictures. Go to: www.kwmuth.com Replies to this message: midniteprix05 (Oct 30, 2005 3:54 pm)

Replying to: gmfan007 (Oct 30, 2005 12:02 pm) doing some more searching found a pretty good site for 04+ GPs. They have hoods and other accessories....kind of pricey but something to think about.   www.lmperformance.com   check it out.... Good Luck!!   MidNite

#4269 of 4431 Grand prix 2001 road noise? by thunder_320 Nov 01, 2005 (6:24 am)
I have a 2001 GT w/100,000 miles, when idling there is no noise, all is as it should be. Recently I've noticed a noise, similar to a low roar while driving. It remains constant and raises in pitch and level as I speed up and lowers when I slow down. It doesn't get high or shrill , but it is very noticable.   The sound is coming from the front end, my tires are new and balanced. The care doesn't shimmy or shake and engine response is normal. I do not detect any unusual odors either, such as exhaust or anything cause by friction. Also I see no visible problems upon inspection of the engine. Other than the noise my car runs and performs fine, but I am very concerned. Thanks Replies to this message: bmwguy2 (Nov 13, 2005 5:33 am)
#4270 of 4431 1999 Pontaic Grand Prix GTP Electrical Nightmares by gdtaylor Nov 03, 2005 (4:34 am)
Almost 200000 miles... tachometer quits working, TCS light comes on and want go off, HUD display races up and down, Lighting on the Trip Computer/Driver Info display flashes off and on, ABS light comes on and off, Alternator surges higher voltage, Auto door locks latch/unlatch while turning steering wheel, PRND321 dash lights flicker off & on, Analog speedometer dances. However, there are no problem codes being logged by the ECM. Would appreciate all responses with suggestions for diagnostics!

Replying to: thunder_320 (Nov 01, 2005 6:24 am) hi there ,i have a stock 2001 grandprix special edition coupe,i also work for a bmw dealer here in new jersey ,well to the point,it seems most likely its a wheel bearing noise,if possible when your driving ,on a safe road ,with no other cars ,shut the engine off and put into neutal,and see if you can isolate the noise ,if you slightly turn steering wheel to the left or right ,the noise may change if its from the front ,or you can have the vehicle liftef off all four tires and spin tires,listen for roughness when they are spinning,by hand usually a bad bearing will not be quiet ,due to the mileage its a good chance ,i know bmws but noises dont change from vehicle to vehicle,also check for ,after driving and braking if one brake caliper is hotter than another ,it could be hanging up alittle ,again would cause noise,but you might smell brakes getting hot on this one,please let me know ,also if you can get to a lift ,have someone get in car ,raise up and put vehicle in drive ,on lift and have some-one search for noise underneath car ,was car ever in a flood or in alot of water ,water may have gotten past the seal and damaged the wheel bearing ,if its a bearing ,hope this hepls ,michael

Replying to: mrsb (May 11, 2005 6:06 pm) hi there .it seems that the coolant level sensor is bad ,when coolant is cold,it contracts ,as it warms up,it expands ,it seems that the level sensor is bad ,if you have a gm extended warranty,this might be covered ,its on the right side of the engine looking front to rear,but you have to gain access from under car to remove hose and clamps from engine to replace,it does sit high in engine compartment,where you might be able to get access,but i doubt it,i have a 01 gtp special edition,michael
