The ID of those rims looks just a hair too small and that dimension isn't often listed. Same with the lug stud holes to base. The Calipers/rotors on the 2.4L Vibes were bigger but also 5x114 so I doubt they would have used those. And you've got your spare ire jack and tire iron to swap one out quick!

star_deceiver

Sell 'em and keep looking! When you're looking at new rims, bring a jack and try to fit them right away.

Where in Canada are you located?

star_deceiver

That will depend on the size of tire you go with.... and the weight of the rims. There was no difference, maybe even an increase, when I went to 17's on my old Vibe. 205-50-17 is nearly identical to 205-55-16. If you go bigger your speedometer will show larger discrepancies thus decreasing the accur...

Have you thought about having your starter rebuilt?

Whatever Calgary uses, it eats cars and comes in cube form. There are trucks that spew this all over the road until about -20, when they switch to sand. On my drive to work (in Cochrane) the salt use ends at the city limit on hwy 1A. Cochrane uses the liquid garbage... an entirely different form of ...

star_deceiver

Well... now you have to post about this one for 10 years!

star_deceiver

Not just the paint... the plastic bumper itself is chipped. You will need to sand the whole thing and repaint or buy a new bumper.

star_deceiver

Lots of salt indeed!

Yup!

Redline works, many agree. Whatever you use though, make sure it's GL4.

Somewhere, either here or Toyotanation or Matrixowners, there was a list of how the transmission was changed. Seems only the 03-04 model years were bad.

Best thing you can do is change your transmission fluid to Redline MTL or MT-90.

star_deceiver

There have been very few bad fuel pumps reported here, even with very high mileage. But at least to change it, you don't need to drop the tank.

Now, now... the Ford would have started and driven just fine... right into that utility pole! An inept driver can crash anything!!!

There are many aftermarket wheels with the 5-100 bolt pattern. I still have mine.

Went to the Calgary auto show today. GM's done some work on getting bigger people to fit into some of there sunroofed vehicles. Unfortunatly, not quite enough on some models.

star_deceiver

Generally it's a bad connection on the abs sensor, or the sensor itself is bad. I can't comment on how easy or difficult it would be to clean the connection.

star_deceiver

It's only got 106hp... nowhere near enough to properly handle a 6spd auto and IMO not enough to handle ANY automatic. Besides, the average driver of these cars probably couldn't tell you what engine/transmission combo the had, litres/gears ect. If they're smart enough to know and care about even sli...

When I had my Vibe, the traction control was always off. I find TC annoying at best and it greatly impedes driving in "less then favourable" conditions.... and I drove hard in those less then favourable conditions. But that's just me. I wouldn't have minded a switch to turn abs off but it'...

Sounds like a bad connection somewhere in the starting circuit. I'd start at the ignition, could be as simple as a start wire with a bad connection. Or the starter itself, wire might be loose. I've got a lot of catch-up reading to do, but hopefully I'll be back around more often. I'd say... You've m...

While at a complete stop, hold the traction control button for about 5 seconds. The light will come on and the VSC OFF light will come on as well. Now you will have no traction control and no stability control and your AWD system can work as it's intended to. If you just push the button, the tractio...

Mine was like that.... never broke though. It had been loose for quite a while. When I found out that it wiggled, I stopped checking the oil lever regularly to about every 3000kms.

It's a part of the engine and therefore should be covered under the powertrain warranty.

What I want is a fuel saving tread, plus handling, and a treadwear of something 400 or better. Pick either handling or treadwear... you won't get both.
