Pontiac G5 Coupe

micholder · September 2011

I have an 09 G5 and a 07 Tahoe. The G5 has the regular GM head unit with the single disc, the Tahoe has the 6disc head unit. I would like to put the 6disc in the G5. Is this going to be a problem?

Since I've owned a G5 for awhile and bought a couple of Cobalts also- I'll
chime in for a reply for you.....
Comfort? Seat support is ok.....impossible to latch the seatbelt with the console down (or set the handbrake)
Light headliner cleans up easy. Light seats in the Cobalt clean up ok.
Carpeted floor mats wear thin quickly. Spend the bucks and switch to
all weather mats.

XFE base tires are crap in snow- drive carefully until you wear them out
and then invest in decent tires.

but all in all......its a cheap ride that will get you great MPG and decent service .

If it is, the antenna is held on to the roof under the headliner by a locknut, the base of the antenna has a gasket. It may be loose and just need to be tightened. If you can get the headliner loose from the inside enough to swing a wrench on the locknut to tighten it down, that might be all it takes.

I need help with my Pontiac G5 the smell of Gas Vapors/Smell when I start and drive and shut off the car took it to two places one being a Dealer who says i need a new Cat Converter then took it to a personal mechanic who says its the flex hose that has a crack in it and can replace it cheaper then the Dealer anyone have the same problem or any info on this?

catprwl, it's surely the hose from gas tank to the charcoal/evap canister, that's what the personal mechanic is talking about. believe that mechanic. it's a very common issue.
catalytic converter can be ignored unless the car fails emissions test or car won't accelerate beyond 30 mph or so due to catalytic-converter-blocked
