HI all
bought a 2003 vibe w/127,000 for $3700 with a rebuilt title (fender was wrecked) from a garage that did the body work
it had a couple of issues(whoever had it before me took terrible care of it)
but I think i got most of the kinks worked out
changed all the fluids and the transmission filter
replaced the lower grill covers that were missing
used some meguiar's on the headlights liked the results
replaced the VVT filter
replaced the belt tensioner (about a $100) that i stripped moving the alternator getting access to the vvt filter **move it a little, give it a sec to release pressure then repeat as needed**
repaired the leak in the washer fluid tank with a kit
replaced the filter for the SRI with a dryflow, tightened the joints on the tube and checked for vacuum leaks with carb cleaner
cleaned the MAF sensor
replaced the upstream O2 sensor
-the last 3 issues had my LTFT at 32.4 as of this posting i haven't rechecked yet
new wiper blades
replaced the coupling carrier bearings in the rear diff
replaced one of the output seals on the rear diff
still want to fix the chain tensioner oil leak / front rotors seem warped a little / clean the sludge out from under the valve cover and in oil pan and some of the speakers don't work
