#1026 of 1177 Re: Steering wheel adjustment noise [shmang] by ghstudio Jan 18, 2009 (11:23 am)
Replying to: shmang (Jan 18, 2009 9:37 am) I agree with the other posters...check the serpantine belt and if it's not worn, it's more than likely OK. Also, if it does break, you won't hurt the engine (assuming you turn the car off before it overheats)...it will just be awkward explaining to the "meaningful other" why you didn't replace it as you are waiting for the flatbed tow truck.   Don't use the belt spray...it's a temporary fix, at best. If you can't tighten the belts and get rid of fan belt noise, replace the belt.   The only belt I change religiously when it's recommended is the timing belt. If that goes and you have an "interference" engine your engine will be destroyed. I don't know if the M35 or M45 are "interference" engines.
#1027 of 1177 Front window seal by c5_4fun Jan 18, 2009 (11:42 am)
At the top of the front window where it meets the roof I have a black rubber seal that runs all the way across the front of the car. I noticed a big section of it is flush with the top of the window and the roof while other sections are pushed in and not flush where the window meets the roofline.The dealer said its normal, but I'm wondering where the water goes at the spots where the rubber is pushed down in the opening. Anyone else have this issue and more importantly, any problems with water leaks?

If you are talking about the M, then, no, it should not be pushed in. Mine is flushed all the way.   What year and model is yours? Replies to this message: c5_4fun (Jan 23, 2009 6:33 pm) shmang (Jan 23, 2009 6:46 pm)

Replying to: shmang (Jan 23, 2009 5:59 pm) thanks. It's a 2006 M35x. I was going to walk a dealer lot and look at a few others as the dealer noted on my repair note that it was a "normal condition". Replies to this message: shmang (Jan 23, 2009 6:46 pm)

Replying to: c5_4fun (Jan 23, 2009 6:33 pm) I see. Mine is 2006 as well (M45 though, but oth.er than the engine, it should be the same). So, it is definitely not normal. Have it checked out while it is still under warranty.
#1031 of 1177 CD player by shmang Jan 26, 2009 (12:51 pm)
Well, the other day, my wife bought me a few music CDs and I like them, so I thought I will put them in the CD player (6 CD changer with MP3). But, the strange thing is: some of them will not play and show a message: "Track information not available" while the others plays just fine.   I thought it might be the slot, so I swapped them and didn't make any difference. The ones works still works and the ones doesn't doesn't. I can play ALL of them in my regular CD player at home, so all CDs are good CD.   So, is there any trick that I am not aware or is there a work around?

Replying to: tmartin63 (Jan 16, 2009 3:56 pm) I inspected the belts and there are a lot of crackes - although the belt itself looks perfect. So, I asked them (dealer and other shops) how much it will be. Here is the quote I got:   Dealer: $280 (belt included) Other shops: $120 + cost of belt - about $60. So, total about $180.   So, I decided to try it myself. Ordered the belt for $52 (2 belts) and have them done in about 1.5 hours. The actual belt change took me 20 min. the rest is taking off and put on the under engine cover (I did not know they have 20+ screws to hold that thing).   Since the belt I put on is of much better quality, it is supposed to last another 10 years. So, I am all set for now. Replies to this message: osbornkg (Feb 08, 2009 7:08 pm) shmang (Feb 09, 2009 6:30 am)

Figure that the "flat rate" is about $100 an hour and this is at least an hour job so the shop estimates are at least in the ball park.

Replying to: shmang (Feb 08, 2009 4:39 pm) Good for you. Who did you order the belts from? Replies to this message: shmang (Feb 09, 2009 6:30 am)

Replying to: osbornkg (Feb 08, 2009 7:08 pm) Well. I got the parts from Amazon.com (I researched which is the best quality parts and found them on amazon.com).
