Unless you have a vacuum pump, the correct AC gauges, nitro for pressure testing and are EPA certified you can not DIY the repair. While 134a is an hfc and not known at this time to damage the enviroment you sill need to know what you are doing when dealing with refriderants. You can buy it over the...

is this what you bought?

if so, return it.... all you have done is lighten your pocket.

got to get the code read and post the results here before we can start to help.
Most any autoparts stores will read the codes for you.

ditch the coat hanger on the exhaust manifold heat shield wouldn't be an exhaust manifold back by the rear wheel :P any small repair shop or garage should be able to screw it back on, for not too much money. Not a complicated or Vibe unique repair. Say what??? the exhaust manifold, AKA header, atta...

keithvibe

drive nut nailed it The first photo is part of your heat shield, it's missing a bolt or two The second photo is an expansion point in your exhaust, This photo is normal and doesn't need any work to it unless it's leaking. Which judging from this photo it is not. SO leave it alone, ditch the coat han...

Wow shameful, they are no different then you and your grocery getter.

Just report the thread and move on. It was bound to happen with the new software

The mechanic is half right. The suspention CAN bottom out. This is why you cut the bump stops. Doing his alows for the strut to travel more. But because it travels more it wears faster. As for the alignment the mechanic is a namby bamby. There is NO problem getting the awd back in speck. The only is...

ScangaugeII sale pending

keithvibe

Any one interested in my scangaugeII?
125shipped to the states.
I thought I would reuse it but I honestly have a need for it with the Mazda
It will have the OE box, instructions and cable it needs. I'll post a photo later today

keithvibe

I also have a lot of my turbo parts left over is you want to turbo on the cheap side.

keithvibe

I didn't think there were any automatic GTs sold prior to the 09 models? For some reason I thought the vibe had an auto version from 03-05, but after reading your reply I did some checking, and according to edmunds, you sir are correct. He is wrong and right. While there may not have been a vibe, t...

keithvibe

You would have a better chance at finding an XRS automatic from 03
I found two forsale on cars.com last night.
The 2zz is nice but paired with an automatic for that first year was a mistake.

keithvibe

The 03 automatic GT wasn't worth it. The drivetrain really sapped out the power.
Which is why it was only offered for the 03- to the beginning of 04 model year.
They are not completely worthless, but the negatives out way the positives.

keithvibe

You can wire them without the relay that hella supplies. I did it that way on my vibe. They were loud. This time with my Mazda I wired them with the relay and they are super freaking loud.
I recommend that if you have the time to wire them with the relay, do it.

keithvibe

To get full use and sound out of the hella horns you need to add a relay. A relay pulls power for the horns direct from the battery but uses the stock wiring and relay as a "trigger" So you press your horn it sends a signal down threw the oem wiring the oem wiring is plugged in to the rela...

keithvibe

you want to replace the OEM relay? why? Everything OEM stays.
If you are adding hella horns and wiring them according to their instructions you should be adding another relay.

keithvibe

I'm loving the car so far. Much more responsive than my awd vibe. More comfortable seats, put 400 miles on he OD with a trip to DC recently and my back wasn't hurting one bit. Loving the MPG too. With the trip to DC, my wife myself and our luggage I got 38 mpg. I was one thenth short of 39mpg As for...

X3 let's see the front wheel drive car drift.
I think the OP ment to type ebrake drag.

keithvibe

You are aware that the rad fan only turns on when the water temp reaches a certain temp right? It doesn't run all the time

keithvibe

I run 3000k
Yellow fogs are best for fog, the light won't reflect off the fog as bad as the 6000k fogs would.
I do have a used set forsale in my part out thread that I bought before I got in to retrofitting, if you want to save some coin.
I do have some new ones too if you prefer to go that route.

He fried it because he ordered the wrong hid kit and was stupid enough to try and backyard engineer it to make it work instead of returing it or buying the correct hid kit.
The reverse polarity issue can and most likely will be the only concern.

keithvibe

I posted this elsewhere, but didn't get any replies. I wanted to do HID Fogs on my car to help light output without having to deal with the DRL disable mod. Does anyone have any suggestions for any good HID Foglight kits? Is there any particular customization to the install ? (I.e. when you do the ...

Did you have him change the front transfer case too?

Sorry brian
At a loss for words.

Have you had the rear diff fluid changed? If not I suspect that is why it is making the noise it is now. To answer your question it is common if: you don't maintain the fluids in the front and rear diff. It is also common if you changed one tire if that tire got a flat and was not fixable. With awd ...

keithvibe

Sure share, but you will need to share it in "the others" area... even though it's audio and you posted this in the audio section. As you know it's for the vibe.
Goofy rule but I didn't make them.

keithvibe

You mention that the headlights have some peeling/scratches. Have these ever been sanded and "cleared up" like the OEM ones sometimes are? Can they be if wanted in the future? Also, are these OEM or aftermarket housings? Thanks! no they have never been refinished. Yes, they can be if the ...

I missed that. My bad, carry on.

keithvibe

The thread is almost 6 months old.
Doubt they even know it is still active.
I do have 16" alloys fs in my part out thread.

Wayyyyy over priced for just the used supercharger. Tops that is worth 6-700

keithvibe

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But the dbw and CAI even with a reputable CAI may still cause a lean issue. I'm almost positive of this. Which is why I put a short ram on my fathers trix to avoids this issue. The short rams don't typically have this issue on the dbw.

keithvibe

The plan was to dismount the winterforce snows from the alloys and sell just the rims. If someone wants both speak up now. The tires have less than 5k miles on them. Yes the rims come with the center caps. They have 9mm of tread depth left. rims 250 tires 300 Shipping not included they weigh 44lbs e...
