Repair Tips for a 9-5

Bericht door Behelzibub » za 29 apr, 2023 19:37

Hi all,

Post is in English, ik spreek geen Nederlands...

So I have a few minor issues with my 2001 9-5 estate and I want to deal with them myself.
1. Both front window need new rollers. I'm confident enough to try this myself, but where can I order good quality rollers from?
2. Some missing trim on the auto gear selector. Again where can I source replacements?
3. Looking at a radio upgrade, possibly to a android auto or similar setup. Has anyone done this and what units would you recommend?
4. Second set of alloys for winter tyres.. Would love a set from an aero or similar.

Finally I'm in south limburg, sittard, so are there any members in the area who would be willing to help or advise with these jobs? I want to learn and keep this car on the road for a long time if I can.

Its booked in for a turbo replacement on Monday so that's the first big job to be done. The car is showing it's age, some marks and dents, it's not perfect but it seems honest and has already wormed it's way into my heart...

In future I will want to do as much of the preventative maintenance as possible on this car.

Thanks for reading what turned out to be an essay and thanks for welcoming me into the fold.

Regards
Kevin

Just like Tjøørd provided you with answers to a couple of your questions, I can help you along with another one;

I've done this quite a few times and have all the parts required listed in my webshop. If you have any questions regarding the install, you can always reach out via PM on the forum, or through email/whatsapp. I'm working on a trim bezel for the Pioneers I often use to make it all look as stock as I can.

Regarding winter wheels; I have a set of 17's with meh summer tires on them that I'd let go cheap if you just need wheels to put new tires on. They're ALU55 wheels. PM me if you're interested. :)

Here is a install guide for a after market Android head unit. I don't know if Teyes is still the best choice but it gives a general idea.

I am looking for this as well for next summer.
