    Hi, I bought a new unit from Crutchfield.com with a wiring harness that was easy to put in. I just connected a few wires with the instructions and put the new unit in. It was the best upgrade I had done on my car. I have front upc input, hd radio, bluetooth and I was able to make the color to match amber in the dash. It is a JVC HDR-60 for $159 shipped with harness. I threw the old unit in the garbage. I had replaced the knobs on it ,but it started to act up on cold mornings I did not want to buy a new faceplate for a radio that did not even play MP3's. That unit really shows the age off your car... Kristian

    Hi, I just added some windshield wiper fluid to my car and it came out quite rapidly. I could not see where it was coming from. Any ideas what the problem could be before i start pulling everything apart? Kristian

    Hi, I'm about to buy an aftermarket wing for my 1999 carrera 4 conv. I've heard about the warning light problem after you plug the lights on the pop up wing harness. I've seen the question before, but I can't find it on here. Does anybody have the solution for the wing warning light. Thanks Kristian

    I just ordered the sealant. Thanks Loren

    I have a 6speed 1999 carrera 4. My oil pan is leaking some oil. I'm ready for a oil change too, so I'm thinking of doing both at the same time. Is there a gasket I have to order for the pan or do I just apply silicone around the edges? Kristian

    Never mind, I was able to tighten in from the top without opening it. It didn't look like it would work at first. Kristian

    Hi, Does anybody have instructions how to remove the plastic cover that is under the wipers. I'm trying to get to the passenger side wiper to tighten it and it looks like I have to take the whole cover off. Kristian

    Where is the bolt located? is it from the top? The wiper seems to lag behind and when you push it, it will catch up. Kristian

    Hi, My windshield wipers just started acting up. The drivers side seems to work fine, but the passenger side one only goes half way and almost seems like its lagging behind. Has anybody had this problem before? I just wanted to know what the problem could be before I take a closer look at it. Thanks beforehand. Kristian

    I had a few of those problems too with my 1999 convertible. I just added the convertible pump fluid last week and now it works perfect. My problems started with the back window not working every time and eventually the top not working at all.I would just check it, since it's an very easy fix and even if the problem might be caused by the battery or something else this time, it will prevent problems in the future. There is nothing worse than having the convertible top not working properly when you are far away from home... It's pretty embarrassing. I had to hold the top with my right hand one time on the way home when it did not shut properly. I changed my top after the seam started separating. It was money well spent. I tried to glue the top and had some clamps on it for a few days but it just was an eyesore. I got a top with glass window and with the heating option. I believe the top was GAHH and I bought it on Ebay a few years ago for about $1300. I've seen them on GAHH site for about $1700. Then I paid a local top expert to put it on for $500. It looks much better than the original even if the window in the back is smaller. I also got my O2 sensors on Ebay for about $100. I would also clean the MAF and check out the airfilter, since they are both very easy to do and can make the engine run bad. Kristian

    Hi, I bought a Sachs clutch for about $300 about a year ago. I also replaced the flywheel and RMS at the same time. I did everything myself and saved big $. So far (a year later) everything is working great. Kristian PS.I have a 1999 Carrera 4 (62000 miles when replaced parts)

    I got a pair from Ebay for $79 that works great. Replacement took me about 30min on both bulbs. Kristian

    Where would I look for leaks? I didn't see any on the garage floor. I guess it would be coming from the back part of the car? KL

    This DIY link was the easiest one I've ever done. My fluid tank was totally empty and that's why the top was not working properly. Now it works perfect every time. I feel like a fool for not using my top because of that for 6 months. From now on, I will also check that fluid every year to be on the safe side. Thanks for the link Loren . Kristian

    I would just buy carbon mirror covers for about $120 that go right on top of them. KL

    I think the color temperature should be 4300K Kristian

    I cleaned the throtle body and MAF and all lights came off... KL

    Hi, I got the check engine light on first for a few days and today I got the PSM and ABS warning lights. Thanks Kristian
  19. kristian
    Mine went dull yellow and started flickering for about a week. Then it died. There are some good deals on Ebay on the bulbs if you don't want the originals and they come with warranty. I'm still waiting for my pair. One website sent me the wrong ones, so I had to buy them elsewhere. Did you check if that bulb is still under warranty? There are some fake Philips bulbs out there too, so be aware. I would rather buy a no brand name bulb at a low price than a fake brand name that you still pay quite a bit for. KL

    Parking brake warning light works, so it's something else. Thanks for the link Loren KL

    I was just driving home when my PSM OFF and ABS lights came on. My Service light has been on a few days too. I didn't notice any difference in the car but I wonder what the problem could be. I've had a break wear light on for a while,but the pads are fine, so I think it's just a faulty sensor. I have to look more into it tomorrow ,but I just wanted to know if anybody had the same problem before. I was actually reading the site and looks like it might be a MAF sensor problem. I have to look into it tomorrow. KL

    I have plans to start servicing my convertible top that has not been working for a few months. I was trying to find the link how to change the fluid with pictures, but I could not find it. Does anybody have the link? I know that it might be the motor or cylinder too, but I would like to get the link that shows you how to get to the parts. Thanks KL

    I replaced the tank on my 1999 C4. I did it without lowering the engine. It was a pain. I remember that I finally got it done. It was much harder to get it back in there than taking it out. When I put it back in, I put in the thermometer after I put it in place. My tank cracked 9 months after I had just replaced it, so I ended up getting a new one under warranty. This time it was easier to replace. Keep the receipt handy for the tank if it happens to you too KL

    I changed mine without removing the mufflers. I have a C4. I just had a bunch of extensions. It took probably two hours. It was tough.But I remember that I had to twist a few of the old ignition coils to get them out, so I started getting error codes. I ended up replacing them all. KL

    Hi, The "xenon" bulbs came today. They are the superbrightlight bulbs... So they got me with their BS bulbs. I'm sending them back. I was suprised that they mislead me on the website. I'm sure they get a lot of returns.... Kristian
