First off, it's awesome that there's a specific forum for Grand Prix lovers. Honestly it's in my top 10 'affordable' cars out there. My wife and I bought our 03 GT this past may and absolutely love it.
But I've got a few quick questions . . .
1 - When it rains my wife is greeted to a big puddle on her floorboard. Now I've heard the whole "gunk in the drain" thing so I had a mechanic blow that out when he was replacing the belt tensioner. Trouble is the leak is still there. So I stopped in at a local body shop and the owner says sometimes the firewall seams can crack and leak after time. My question is this: IF there's cracks what sort of caulk/sealant can I use myself to repair it?
2 - Where is the fuel filter? Due to, well, being broke I could not afford a good GM car for awhile, but the last Pontiac I had it was on the underbody right below a door.
3 - What should a well tuned 03 GT get city/highway? Right now I've got a misfire I'm repairing this weekend, but I only got ~400-410 miles on a tank when we first bought it.
4 - Will an 04 MP3/CD stock stereo fit and hook up to my steering wheel controls? Our old car had an MP3 player, and frankly I don't want something that doesn't work with the orange gauge systems. I'm perfectly willing to buy a second set of plugs in order to frankenstein some dongles and make it work, I just was curious if it even would.
Again, thanks much for the answers -- this is awesome :th_thumbsup-wink:
