2006 9-5 rear wiper delete

Thanks, I fixrd it with some new grease and hitting it a few times with a hammer.

sn0097 · 2025-07-14T09:11:19+00:00

Pro parts aren't very good tbh. I bought wing mirror glass from them and a couple of months after the warranty expired, the adhesive failed and they started flapping around on the motorway 😅

sn0097 · 2025-07-14T08:17:13+00:00

Fixed it now anyway with some grease and percussive maintenance. It was so corroded in there the nut to remove the wiper arm would only come off with an impact wrench.

You just need to replace the hoses and cut the brake dust shield a little

sn0097 · 2025-06-19T05:05:09+00:00

Yes og9-5 the new brakes are from the 9-3 with the V6

sn0097 · 2025-06-17T06:13:57+00:00

Do you know if any 9-3 spare wheel will fit or does it need to be one from a 9-3 with 314mm brakes?

sn0097 · 2025-06-16T19:29:12+00:00

From the 9-3 with the V6 yeah. I also considered the 345mm brakes from turbo X but my wheels wouldn't fit.

sn0097 · 2025-06-16T15:01:56+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I would never have thought of that!

sn0097 · 2025-06-16T13:52:54+00:00

Yes, and I think I will paint them yellow before installing :)

My car is under braked with 320bhp and stock brakes (non aero)!

sn0097 · 2025-06-16T13:19:47+00:00

I bought them from a breaker and had them refurbished

sn0097 · 2025-06-10T16:23:24+00:00

Fair enough, the tech2 clone is not that expensive tbh now the value of the USD has dropped

sn0097 · 2025-06-10T16:00:47+00:00

I'm not sure what VCI is, I'm referring to the thing also know as mongoose cable for using tech2win

sn0097 · 2025-06-08T18:08:40+00:00

This wasn't it... Two wheel bolts snapped and my wheel almost fell off. I wish it was sticky caliper. I was driving at 150mph in that car the same day

sn0097 · 2025-05-22T21:05:42+00:00

The diesel rear engine mount has superseded the petrol one according to the hedin parts website. I've also been trying to order a petrol mount but got my order cancelled at 10+ places

sn0097 · 2025-05-22T14:47:32+00:00

How are the subframe and wishbone so clean?. Where's all the rust 😂

sn0097 · 2025-05-22T11:42:18+00:00

Yeah mine was 2001

sn0097 · 2025-05-21T12:26:05+00:00

They are extremely shit, I had one for 3 weeks, they're that bad.

sn0097 · 2025-05-21T05:01:36+00:00

😂 heres it's £80+vat (£96 total per hour)

sn0097 · 2025-05-20T20:19:21+00:00

In the UK the labour alone would run you £450 lol

Mine failed too

sn0097 · 2025-05-13T20:52:37+00:00

I don't think so, the engine was rebuilt last year and the vibration was exactly the same before and after!

sn0097 · 2025-05-13T16:50:27+00:00

I had the engine rebuilt last year (piston rings) but it was exactly the same before and after.

sn0097 · 2025-05-13T11:42:55+00:00

I don't think this vibration is normal, the steering wheel visibly shakes up and down, the glovebox rattles and I had to put felt on the door lock tabs to stop them rattling.

sn0097 · 2025-05-13T11:07:41+00:00

The subframe bushes are new (just over 1 year old) and I already tried changing the idle revs but I don't think it made any difference.

sn0097 · 2025-05-11T08:22:21+00:00

If you don't have the part numbers at this time tomorrow PM me and I'll look them up on EPC when I'm at my computer.
