Savoy

Quote, originally posted by joatmon Â»it is interesting to estimate your average speed over those miles and figure out how many hours that is behind the wheel. I would say that over 90 percent of those miles are highway miles. So my average speed would be between 65 and 75 miles per hour.

Quote, originally posted by michaelgt Â»SavoyI think you are leading everyone here. I passed 54k this Sunday. What have you done for maintenance in the 120k miles?Besides the normal oil change and tire rotation...all that has been done is change out the transmission oil. I really need to change the ...

Savoy

Over 120,000 Miles.

Since I lost my job in April, I haven't been racking up nearly the same kind of mileage.When I filled up tonight, I was at approximately 75,800 miles.I'm sorry to hear about that. I had no idea.

I did have a problem with both driver and passenger windows acting up. There would be a loud clank...

Savoy

95 percent of those miles are highway miles. I just do the typical maintenance. I do, however, change my oil at 7500mi increments.

Savoy

I'm actually getting better gas mileage as of about 10,000 miles ago.

Quote, originally posted by silverawd26 Â»Congratulations... What will you do now?Thank you. I'm thinking of getting some new 6.5" speakers for the doors. Probably start doing a few mods to it.

BTW, some auto parts/repair stores will read and explain codes for free...Thanks for the help, MadBill. I actually had the codes read by over three d...

Savoy

Quote, originally posted by MadBill Â»Well, that could mean that the second sensor is malfunctioning (fairly cheap to fix) or that the cat is indeed on its way out. (not so cheap, but should be covered under the emissions warranty.)I just had a bad dream that my car was accelerating hard while I was...

Savoy

Quote, originally posted by MadBill Â»The second sensor is just to monitor the function of the cat. If it was toasted, the code would read differently, e.g."defective converter".The code is reading Cat. not working effeciently.

Savoy

I haven't had any major mechanical problems. What I do have is my driver and passenger power windows are scratching my tint, of course the paint problems, and the oxygen sensor on my vibe needs to be changed. Only thing with the oxygen sensor is that the vibe has 2(!) so there seems to be no way to ...

The rotors had the normal wear grooves. I didn't have them machined or anything...just the pads replaced. I had it done at Midas.-Savoy-

At 82,500 miles it is finally time for new brakes. The rear drums were just fine. Just thought you would like to know.-Savoy-

"It seems like the top speed is limited to how fast the engine can push the car through the high wind resistance (top speed is drag limited) instead of any rev limiter deal. "There is indeed a rev limiter at around 115 mph. You can actually hear and feel it kick in.-Savoy-

Savoy

It definitely does sound like the thermostat. If it is and you are not under warranty it is very easy and cheap to replace. I wonder how long a thermostat is to go before changing?? Or is there even a maintenance schedule for it? I am right at 60,000 miles and I haven't done any coolant/radiation ma...

Savoy

"Got a new king of mileage. You must have long comutes to work eh?"I will accept this crown and rule justly . Actually my office is just a little over a mile away. It is what I do when I get there that piles on the miles. I do a LOT of traveling within a 300 mile radius. As many miles as I...

"If you have 55k, what type of maintenance have you done? At what interval do you do oil changes, etc."The only maintenance I have done is oil change and tire rotation and I do both at every 7,000 miles. I use castrol syntec.-Savoy-

Anyone reading the review above notice how they pick the Matrix over the Vibe in the area of looks (opinion and understandable) and handling?!?-Savoy-

You know...I'm not as much worried about the engine as I am the transmission. But..again I have had no trouble what so ever @ over 50,000 miles.-Savoy-

I have replaced my tire's with Daytona Daytons. They were $75 per tire. I am very impressed with them. I've had them on for over 20,000 miles now and they look as though I just purchased them. They are a H rated tire.-Savoy-

Savoy

"Hmm, 60000 km/yr * 5 years = 300,000 km (480,000 miles). Will this engine really last that long?"I am well on my way to finding out. On a positive note...I'm at 50,000 miles now and I have not had any problems. Not even a brake change.-Savoy-
