Hello everybody, after having battery issues nearly once a year I read a lot about batteries here on the board. I always used best quality batteries from Varta, almost every month connected the car to an intelligent battery charger, but after 1 or 1,5 years the battery is dead again. Now I...

Yes sometimes it's crazy😁

Würth is a manufacturer, you can't buy any fasteners directly from them. And the shops: They can only order it with the unique parts number, they can not even search for it in their computer without numbers. Believe me, I AM from Germany and this is not my first car. I ordered all the ones Ian...

Thanks, IAN. Will try these too. I already ordered so many kinds of retainers I thought they would fit, that I can already open up a shop of my own. :lol:

Yes I found these and bought them, but they are too thick. I will try WRUTH. I measured this:

Thanks for all the replies. No the nos in the picture are not linked, just found this on a parts store site and they don't have this item. It's not the retainer 11519949, more simple kind. Here in Germany there are no shops that have Dorman, think I will try an import shop - but in my...

Found this picture and I think it's part nos 9 and 10...

Hi, maybe someone can help me with a part I'm searching for. To remove side panels / carpet in the trunk to get access to pump and roof cylinders I had to remove the side carpet parts in my XLR. Problem is: Nearly all the retainer clips / screws hardened out and broke while removing...

I don't know if we are talking about the same issue. So let's go through this step by step: 1. I open the trunk with key fob or button (battery connected) 2. Open the hood, disconnect the battery to unmount convertible pump 3. A "second" siren coming from the rear turns on 4. Pressing a...

I think it's factory standard maybe only on export vehicles - this is a European model.

This car is 100% Original, it was pre owned by an old man who surely never changed anything on it. Didn't know this siren until I heard it: Open the trunk, open the hood, disconnect the negative cable and voila... It has ultrasonics detection, so why no system for the trunk open?

Hi. Like I mentioned in another post I'm searching the chapter "Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection" cause my alarm turns on once I disconnect the battery. I got the GM service manual but can not find this? Maybe I'm too stupid for this... Dozens of "Refer to Battery Negative...

Hi folks, right now I'm at the same point: Getting pump and control module out of the car. But when I started the procedure of getting it out of the trunk, I had a problem. In front: I have the original GM repair manual and followed instructions. When I disconnect the battery an annoying...

Do you think exchanging pads wouldn't fix it?

What will it do to the paint? Dents or scratches?

No problem, I know . The manufacturer of the roof is the same as for Mercedes, Alpha, Porsche and a lot of other brands. Already tried to reach them, but this is only the factory and no support or service. I found a garage for Mercedes roofs in my city but if there's no Mercedes logo on the...

Stressed motor The motor sounds really stressed. I'm too far from the shore for a boat repair shop :-D

Hi everybody, after exchanging the struts on the trunk lid and relearning / diagnosis with a Tech2 on my XLR, the roof still opens very very slow and sometimes the trunk lid won't come up at all. (no leaks) I have to assist while someone else is pushing the roof button inside. I found...

Definitely not - search for the panten on the net, there are many sources: GM - NOT ACDelco ACDelco just build them under license, like oil, fluids and other stuff. Once GM takes a license away from them they can not use the GM patent number anymore. (for example ATF Dexron IIIH)

Correct, but not always. For example changed the struts on my 98 DeVille - ACDelco didn't fit perfectly, bought GM parts at a GM warehouse and … voila, a real difference. Costs were 3 times higher. It's not always the same.
