Hi Salsa Guy, thanks for the response. I used the conversion kit from Crutchfield that came with the HU. And I'm thinking since that plugs into the Vibe harness it was already grounded as Crutchfield yesterday told me but I am a little confused on whether I should be using the ground from the HU on ...

jjhendri

That's great to know, thank you.

jjhendri

LOL

chiadog, would not say anything

jjhendri

Ok, can some one tell me how to resolve, grounded the Pioneer HU to the crossbar that runs the length of the dashboard but can still hear the noise with the radio. I have searched but cannot seem to find the answer.

The flap to change the air filter is broken

on a 2003 Vibe GT.. How do I fix and is it necessary to replace?

jjhendri

Updated at 12:29pm ET, ok checked the matrix forum and yes it's a common problem and supposedly an easy fix as noted here from their forum:"On the back of the engine on the passenger side right next to the serpentine belt tensioner shock you will find two studs with 10mm nuts on them holding th...

Hi all, hope everyone is still having a great weekend. Good a question for you..I have had a leak from the cam chain tensioner and it has been replaced a couple of times to only revert back to leaking. instead of instaiing the OEM tensioner I was thinking of installing a high performance tensioner i...

jjhendri

NMR Guy, that's great so there's hope after all, I got 136,000 on mine some slight slippage but got a Stage 2 waiting to put in when it does go. So here's to 200K.

Hi bigdaddyjosh, the only amp is the M&T amp (stock).

jjhendri

Hi bigdaddyjosh, it's high pitch and does do up as I accelerate.

jjhendri

Thanks for the responses joatmon, laovemyraffle and MotoAce51. I have installed a Pioneer DEH-3200UB (got from Crutchfield in April 2011). No problems when it was installed. So may lead me to believe as all of you have indicated a bad ground or maybe blown speaker. I was going to change the speakers...

jjhendri

Hello GenVibers, hope you can help me with this. A couple of days ago, I started hearing the engine whine through the rear speakers. What could this be and how to fix. '03 Vibe GT, I had the front door speakers replaced about a year ago. ANy help would be appreciated.

jjhendri

So here's the update decided instead of towing it I went to the dealer with the part this past Friday (3/18/11) and the Manager of Service and the Head Mechanic were there, they said it was from the Vibe but it was the old part that the mechanic had left in the engine compartment which as we can see...

jjhendri

Thanks all who have responded, it will be towed tomorrow to the Toyota dealer that fix a starter problem I had and an oil leak around the timing chain tensioner/assembly on March 4th. My wife just noticed it about 2 days ago. I'm been driving back and forth to work for 2 days about 25 miles each way...

Hi folks well I have warped rotors, have anyone used this on '03 GT:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ories

jjhendri

Ok, got the dreaded P0420 code this morning. I stomp on it at the traffic light and next thing I see is the CEL. So is it safe to say that I need a new Cat or replace the 02 Sensor after the Cat? Got 123,500 miles on it. Replaced the O2 Sensor before the Cat in April 2010 when I got a P0135. I have ...

jjhendri

Wow, 5 clutches that's a bunch (was it a lot of spirited driving) I can assume not? It does not give me great comfort to know that the Stage 1 only last 30K..as this is what's going in next in my 'GT when I replace. Let me know how the F1 works out if that's your choice.

jjhendri

I did buy the Exedy Stage 1 Clutch but so far have not changed so cannot tell which would be better. But the reviews seem to be the Exedy Stage 1. Still on original with 122+, still spirited

jjhendri

After looking at the video I sorta totally agree and the JVC might be the winner. and I'll still be running the stock amp unless of course it craps out.

jjhendri

Good video and I could see that it was rather dim with sunlight on it. So it may make me choose the JVC over the Kenwood.Thanks

jjhendri

Thanks for the reply. You know I listen to CDs occasionally, but the radio is mostly what I use. Having the HD will be great. I don't own an I-Pod etc. but having the USB is kinda nice can use that for phone charging..So still undecided and may end up with the JVC since as was pointed out the sunlig...

jjhendri

Hello GenVibers, can you help me choose between these 2 HU:JVC KD-HDR20Kenwood KDC-MP345UThis is from Crutchfield. Which is the better of the 2?

jjhendri

Hello GenVibers, can you provide some assistance. I'm looking at replacing the rubber insert that is at the bottom of the roof rack but cannot seem to find it at Rock Auto. Do you happen to know the part number and how difficult to replace? Looks like mine is breaking up in places.

jjhendri

Well replacing the inner fender well on the driver's side was a little more difficult. After removing the 3 screws that attach the cladding to the fender well and fender it had some plastic retaining nuts that were difficult to remove. Had to remove the cladding side and bottom to get the inner fend...

jjhendri

Hi Genvibers, need to find out if anyone has replaced the plastic inner fender well and how difficult is it to do. If you can point me in the right direction that would be great. I have a 3 x 3 inch hole in the middle of the fender well.Thanks

jjhendri

Ok, changed the O2 Sensor using a NTK (NGK) Part 21547 and replacement was fairly simple. Plugged in the OBD II and notice that it still threw a P0135, see this:View / Vehicle Trouble Log / Record Problem 3OverviewTime :04/06/2010 04:28 AMVehicle :Vibe GTCarChip :P-4264-BTrouble Code :P0135Descripti...

jjhendri

Thanks Star_Deceiver, so the P0135 is the 1st sensor (right)? Has anyone used the NGK O2 Sensor?

I have a '03 GT with 119,000 miles and I just had the check engine light come on, the code is P0135. Is this the one on the engine? If so, how do you replace? I see how to replace the one by the cat but not anything on the 1 on the engine. Also, does the engine have to be warm to remove? Saw a post ...

jjhendri

'03 GT with 118,000 miles, original clutch and just recently started slipping in 2nd gear and I drive very hard.

jjhendri

borquezmike, you're correct. It's the belt, thanks for catching..

jjhendri

GenVibers, this issue has finally been resolved and you would not believe that Toyota found the issue when I took it to them for an oil change today (12/27/09). Was at the 7500 mile interval for the synthetic and GM was closed today. It turns out that the gasket on the engine cover was leaking and i...

jjhendri

I do have a question about this though. I just noticed on my '03 GT that the leather wrap (top of the steering wheel) is starting to disintegrate. Any ideas how to fix?

jjhendri

Hi GenVibers, need to know of a good shop that would do a clutch change on a 2003 GT with 103,000 miles. I feel the clutch slipping.

jjhendri

I was looking at the engine & transmission but didn't find anything listed

jjhendri

Oh well, these are one of those things that bother me when I don't know the root cause...

jjhendri

Humm, has the matrix forum posed a similar problem.....Thanks for the response.

jjhendri

It's on the front closer to the radiator and with some deposits close to the serpentine belt

jjhendri

Thanks, will let the forum know the size maybe tomorrow.

jjhendri

Hi Folks, hope you can help me out or point me in the right direction. I have noticed that the Insulator under the hood is soaked with oil deposits. However, I don't see any oil leakage on the ground or around the engine compartment. Do I have an oil ghost?I do remember some years ago. GM Dealer for...

jjhendri

Ok, genvibes, need assistance. What sort of spark plug socket do I need. Got NGK Laser Iridium and not sure of socket size etc. Any help would be appreciated.

jjhendri

Ok, scratched the rims does anyone have any ideas on how to repair, look like it took the coating off. Did a car wash today at gas station as we have a severe drought in south florida and heard that dreaded sound.jjhendri

Hi Ragingfish is this really the part # for the stock airbox for the vibe gt. I hot an '03, and one of the clips broke off. Can't tell if I did or if it was done when it went in for service.

Well I got the same problem live in FL and yesterday it started (09/13/06). I always keep mind on recir and got louder as speed increased. Took off of recir and the noise disappear. I'm out of warranty ('03 GT with 73,400 miles). Any clues of how much it cost to fix?
