#1372 of 1380 Front wheel bearing question by jrummer Aug 27, 2009 (6:47 am)
I took my car to my regular guy and they removed the rotors and machined them a little to reduce some brake pulsing. Well, I get my car back and noticed a grinding/whining noise I'd never heard before. Turns out the wheel bearings are bad in the left front. Thing is, there was absolutely no noise the day before they pulled the wheels apart. My question is, are the wheel bearings effected pulling off a rotor on a 2002 protege 5? I can only guess the answer is yes and now they wanna charge me to replace a wheel bearing that was fine a week ago. Thanks. Replies to this message: autonomous (Aug 27, 2009 8:41 am)

Replying to: jrummer (Aug 27, 2009 6:47 am) are the wheel bearings effected pulling off a rotor on a 2002 protege 5? I would not think so, but I'd have to check. How many miles does your P5 have? If it's over 60K (100K km), the bearings could have been worn down as part of normal wear and tear. The fact that you did not hear anything earlier could be due to the noise created by the uneven rotors.   BTW I replaced my rotors because I've heard modern rotors are cheap and thin (as in: they do not last long).

It's time for a clutch replacement. Anyone have any experience w/ P5 clutch replacement: OEM vs. aftermarket? prices? helpful hints?   Thanks. O15
#1375 of 1380 brakes by johnfk74 Sep 29, 2009 (1:00 pm)
I recently replaced the rear calipers/rotors/pads on my '02 protege 5. Bled the brakes and I'm still getting almost no pedal feel and I can hear the pads rattling around in the back. Any insight please Replies to this message: iamz (Sep 29, 2009 4:37 pm)

Replying to: johnfk74 (Sep 29, 2009 1:00 pm) I can't quite remember but, you might have to manually drive the brake pistons in using the allen screws on the back of the calipers until the pads contact the rotors, then back it off a quarter turn or so. Then try bleeding.
#1377 of 1380 Sounds of silence or Gabriel lost his horn by autonomous Nov 11, 2009 (6:18 pm)
The horn on my 2002 P5 is ready to die. According to a mechanic, it was likely the road salt that did it in. I plan to replace it in a couple of weeks. A friend suggested I check out a second hand one. That sounds reasonable considering I plan to keep the car for another two years.   Any comments on replacing it with a new one from the dealer or a used one from the scap yard? Any suggestions/tips on the process? Replies to this message: autonomous (Nov 23, 2009 10:38 am)
#1378 of 1380 CD player problems by sak0990 Nov 19, 2009 (1:51 pm)
I recently bought a 2003 pro5 with a 6 disc changer. The cd player will load the cds, and they will start to spin, but when they start spinning they make a werid sound, like the disc is uneven and spinning. The player tells me to check disc. Ive tried different cds in it. Has anyone had the same problems? Buy a new one or can it be fixed? Replies to this message: autonomous (Nov 23, 2009 10:41 am)

Ive tried different cds in it. Have you tried loading and playing one standard CD alone? Are the CDs that you are trying home-made or standard store bought ones?
