Hi everyone . I recently purchased an 03 S and I need help with 3 things .

The car 112000mi and I intend on servicing the SC . What else should I do when I do this ?waterpump,?coolant flush?hoses? crank sensor seal? anything else?
The pass seat track is jammed on the inside track only . The other track moves freely .The problem is I cant remove the seat bec its all the way back and I cant access the rear seat bolts . All cables seem to be intact and I can see it lifting the teeth its just not releasing on one side . How can I r and r the seat ?

Wipers were working good until running for awhile then the wiper transmission started making a crunching sound . When I stopped sometime later the noise was gone.I didnt see and twigs or leaves anywhere
Thanks

 

I would start with having the car looked over by a qualified indy shop. From there I would replace things according to importance and funding.

As for the seat, you may have a coin stuck in the track, but if not you'll have to get creative to get the bolts out.

 

Thanks for the reply ,however I think you misunderstood .
I AM going to service the super charger and while I have the front of the car in pieces what else is recommended to do at the same same time .Ill be doing this work myself as I worked for a local car dealership as a mechanic for 10yrs

Also the seat track rear bolts are covered by the track so theres no way to get to them . Does anyone know if the seat coushin can be taken out ?

 

There are some common failures you could look at while doing the sc, the low speed fan resistor problem and the tensioner pulley. Crank pulleys start to go around maybe 100k so you might want to think about that too.

Could be all 3 have already been taken care of but they do go on every r53.

If your low speed fan isn't working would be a great time to fix it since pulling the radiator makes it way easier to do the sc.

Same with the tensioner pulley. You're taking off a lot of stuff around it so it's a good time to change it. If it's needed, get the ac delco one on amazon for less than $100.

Water pump would be a good idea, maybe the thermostat. It's just a normal car so yeah maybe hoses and the crank seal. A lot of water is already coming out with the radiator and sc coming off.

Sorry can't help you with the seat or wipers. Check out the classified ads on this forum for people parting out cars if you need a wiper motor.

 

Thank You so much for your advice .I will dfinetly look at the things you suggested
It looks like the belt tensioner was already replaced .
Not sure how to ck the low speed fan but Ill search here on the forum
