2003 Vibe GT VVT issues and more
Posted: Fri Jan 19, 2018 9:58 am
The biggest issue is the VVT, check engine came on, and it appears to be the "First bank" of VVT, which I believe means the first piston in an i4 engine? I was wondering if anyone here has tried to repair the VVT and if they had any tips, or if I shouldn't even bother and just take it in. Also, is it a big enough problem that I shouldn't drive it until it's fixed?
Smaller things:
The engine will only start with the clutch in full, yet my car has a remote start???
There is no emergency brake, should I install one myself or give it to a mechanic?
I pulled apart the broken rear wiper gearbox and found the plastic gear that wore away, can I find just that gear anywhere?
Is it OK to run the car just under the redline once it heats up properly?
