I did it myself. It's like a one hour work. Not including the research of online forums and youtube.KyVibe wrote:I just ordered the intake manifold gasket from my Toyota dealer. Any idea what it costs to have someone replace it?
Thank You all! since my Vibe is 14 yrs old but the mileage is low, is there a need to do any of the following?? I have no codes and the vehicle drives fine but there is some rattling and vibration at idle.MacGyver wrote:I had the intake manifold gasket done on my old 2006 Matrix.

The dealer originally wanted $5800 and there were no comparable I could find to match the year model and mileage..so I took it at $4900 as is and was happy.jake75 wrote:I am a believer that miles are everything. I don't think $4,900 is unreasonable for for a 2003 Vibe with 63,000 miles.
The trans fluid is good for 100,000 miles, but you can check it with the dipstick. If it's reddish and doesn't smell burnt or look black, it's ok.KyVibe wrote: Thank You all! since my Vibe is 14 yrs old but the mileage is low, is there a need to do any of the following??

-Change Trans Fluid?
-Replace Plugs?
-Drain Coolant?
-intake manifold gasket?
Hi..sad to say I went the el cheapo wal-mart route and got 4 Goodyear tires. So far so good they ride smooth and no noise. It had 3 mismatched tires when I bought it.collins92 wrote:Welcome! Price seems worth with that neat and nice looking Vibe.
What tires are you looking to get? We are about to replace on ours as well, looking at BFG or Toyo tires as they are reliable ones on our truck.
