Improved Performance by axiomlover

I now have over 11K miles on my 2.5 X-Type and I noticed considerable improvement in acceleration, especially in the mid-range. Have any of you noticed the same? Perhaps the car is finally broken-in.

How do you save radio presets on 03 x-type?? by chrisclaude

I misplaced the manual and need to change my FM station presets. This is the only pet peeve I have with our 03 X-Type is that the radio is not very intuitive like Japanese cars.

I have a 2004 X type with 22,000 miles and the starter has already gone...is that odd? Thanks

Just press the appropriate number on the radio pad and hold it for a few seconds. The station will be saved on that number.

My 03 2.5 did the same thing at about 20K, just after one of my service visits to the dealer. It was so noticeable that I called them and asked them if they had re-programmed the car's computer or something to cause it. They indicated that all they did was an oil change. I don't know what caused it - but -I sure enjoy the extra power.

What do you mean by clutch failure? Mine gets stiff at times and especially when it is cold out, but it works fine otherwise. Give us more background to your problem.

Cold weather by axiomlover

The winter has finally arrived in Chicago. It was 7 F this morning (-5 F wind chill). I had to park my car outside last night and it started fine this morning, but my clutch was so stiff that it would get stuck to the bottom the first few times I depressed it. There was also a whine noise coming from the engine compartment, which would go away when the clutch was depressed. The car would also make squealing noises moving forward for the first 0.5 mile. The gear stick was very difficult to move. Anybody else having similar cold-weather issues?

Inside of 20 months from delivery of a new 2004 X-Type, the clucth has failed/burned out/worn out, etc. twice. After stopping it has not let me engage 1st gear and has to be towed back to dealer.

Did the dealer cover the cost of a new clutch under warranty? Did you try to burn the tires, but instead burned the clutch? I know I burned by clutch slightly on a couple of occassions - I could smell the characteristic "burned clutch smell" , but it continues to engage properly, although I still don't like the way it operates.
