I took a flashlight and looked down from the top of the hood and didn't see anything. I'll reach around the oil pan and see if I find any oil

Guitarheroal

Hello all, I am getting a very slow leak on my 04 GT(about a drop overnight) and it seems to be coming from the oil pan. Its not coming from the drain plug but the edge of the oil pan itself. I looked around on the forums and it looks like we dont have a oil pan gasket or anything but just sealant? ...

Guitarheroal

Hello all, I was trying to remove my alternator to replace the water pump on my 04 vibe GT. I took off 2 of the side bolts but there was one more bolt on top and the head just started stripping and was impossible to get off. Eventually i gave up and tried to put everything back together. Now the low...

Guitarheroal

my last 2 tanks have been 30.4 and 30.6 mpg! Pretty good for the GT model! probably about 70/30 highway/local. However, most of my highway driving, i am stuck in rush hour traffic.

Guitarheroal

digital thermometer on the vibe was reading anywhere from 110-112 this past week....

Guitarheroal

got gas yesterday for 3.68/gallon for 91

Guitarheroal

haha heard that joke all over espn radio this morning.

sry got home really late and only have night pictures:

Guitarheroal

i got a black carpeted one. I will try to get a pic up tonight

Guitarheroal

I have one on my car. it helps a lot with glare and heat, esp since i live in phoenix, az. No passenger has told me it looked tacky or anything and I personally dont think it looks terrible, not great, but not terrible. I can take pictures later today after work.

Quote, originally posted by MotoAce51 Â»Not much help but I talked to some people abou tthis. I had the code reset and so far drove almost 300mi and no light. When I talked to my dad, there are a couple things that could cause the issue. If when you were installing the intake you kinked a hose or so...

Guitarheroal

bump for some help. would like to get this CEL resolved before the weekend! going on a 400 mile trip!

Guitarheroal

i got a cosmo sri recently. it is pretty cheap, but if i had to do it all over again, i would've went with a k&n intake. the cosmo intake personally caused me some fitment issues. Some other people had the same problem too. On amazon the k&n typhoon intake was only 175 or so shipped for my c...

Guitarheroal

what is a smoke test? in the instructions that came with the intake, it said to take that sensor off cause its not needed? i also emailed them about it and they confirmed to take it off.

Guitarheroal

it actually use to hiss when i would open it. But it doesnt anymore...so that could possibly be the culprit. Still open to any input tho! hoses all look good??

Guitarheroal

I know this CEL has been gone over several times, but i just recently got it and am trying to narrowing down to what the culprit might be. P0441- Evaporative Emission System Incorrect purge flow. So basically, about 3 weeks ago, i installed a cosmo sri on my 2004 vibe gt. Aside from some horrible fi...

Guitarheroal

i believe in 6th gear and at 70 mph the rpms are around 3100-3200 also. I have the stock 17s, so whatever tire size fits on that is the rubber i have. (215/45/17 i believe?)

Quote, originally posted by MotoAce51 Â»Not to hijack, but where does the breather go on the base?hey here is a picture.

Attached files

Guitarheroal

I have a picture on the installation sheets that cosmo sent me on where the breather filter goes. The picture is in black and white tho and horrid quality. I can barely make it out in person but if you'd like, i can scan it and post it when i have time. or someone else can chime in.

Guitarheroal

that is what i suspected. i am guessing you didnt contact them to try to get it resolved? thanks for the response and confirmation to my suspicion.

Guitarheroal

aiite want to verify that i got all the hoses right before i start driving the car around again, because i forgot how everything fits back. I have arrows pointing to the front of the car because i understand that these pictures can be confusing up close. first up, i was wondering if anything goes in...

Guitarheroal

yeah i researched around first and saw that a ton of ppl got their intakes from them, so i figured they were a good company.

Guitarheroal

Quote, originally posted by zedfree03 Â»I bought a cosmo for my 01 corolla. Didnt even come close to fitting. Its sitting in my basement. They wouldnt take it back. wow that is def. not good news....

Guitarheroal

hmmm, well i am putting the stock one back on right now cause still need the car for work tomorrow. I will try to install it again over the weekend and hopefully get better results. If anyone has a 04 gt and has gotten a sri, please chime in!

Guitarheroal

why the almost? i think they did, unless i am completely missing something. The thing is, the other intake pipe from ebay i have fits perfect

Guitarheroal

I just bought a cosmo sri for my 2004 vibe gt. Tried installing it tonight but i am running into fitment issues. I don't claim to know everything about cars, but i've installed 4 different intakes on 4 different cars before and never ran into any problems before. It seems like the main intake pipe's...

Quote, originally posted by 10vibe1.8auto Â»You guys crack me up! Seriously though, the Vibe with an SRT-4 type option would of been a sackful of confidence, or at least a hand full of fun!

Guitarheroal

changed the tranny fluid! Was really easy and straight forward. Only one quart of old tranny fluid drained out though. Glad it has 2.4 quarts in there now!

Guitarheroal

sorry to bump a 2 year old thread, but i just wanted to confirm a couple of things. I have an 04 vibe gt and am going to change the tranny fluid soon, as i have no idea if the previous owner changed it or not. Just wondering if the redline tranny fluid everyone is referring to in this thread is the ...

Guitarheroal

90-95ish? on a road trip to vegas. Dont really care to go too fast in the vibe. been 140+ in my other car though

Guitarheroal

i've had my hp printer for 12+ years and it still works pretty well, other than the occasional paper jam. Luck of the draw i guess.

Guitarheroal

looks good. however it looks like it could get really hot in the summer...

Guitarheroal

got new tires then took a road trip to vegas over the weekend! got 33 mpg on one tank of gas. I am thoroughly impressed!

Guitarheroal

bump it up

Guitarheroal

will those fit a 2004 vibe gt with 17 inch wheels? I went down to the compatibility section of the ebay listing and it says it doesnt fit.

Guitarheroal

only 4 of mine are rounded out, on the passenger side, but i'll probably buy 2 sets, so i'll have 8. They should fit an 04 vibe gt with 17 inch alloys correct?

Guitarheroal

not too sure what section this thread should go under, but wheels and tires seemed closest. I need some new lug nuts cause a few of mine rounded out. I was looking around and was wondering if these will fit and if they are a good buy;http://www.amazon.com/McGard-6...d=017http://www.amazon.com/McGard...

Guitarheroal

my car was making a rhythmic, low grumbling noise too. It ended up being my passenger strut, and it was blown. Dunno if that's whats wrong with your car but just throwing it out there!

Guitarheroal

Busy weekend for the Vibe and I! Installed a new passenger side strut/strut boot/strut mount ( gonna do the other side when i have time). Bought and installed a dash cover. Cleaned the MAF sensor. Replaced the passenger side wheel well cover + push pins cause the push pins were gone, and the cover r...

Guitarheroal

great find! i'll probably look into this too when i free up some funds. I honked my horn at someone about a week ago for the first time and was a little embarassed afterwards. havent used it since.

Guitarheroal

excellent! i have a ton of zip ties that i can use. thanks for the suggestion!

Guitarheroal

mine are all gone too. is it important to replace them?

Guitarheroal

Quote, originally posted by vibedrivermatt Â»well I'm not sure which part your speaking of when you say "strut mount bushing" but I'm pretty sure you wont be needing one if you get those struts and strut mounts from your first post. The dust seal is different from this and is not a bushing...

Guitarheroal

thanks for the responses! are dust seals and dust boots the same thing? Sorry i am still fairly new to car suspension.

Guitarheroal

Hello suspension gurus,I am guessing that this subject has been probably beaten to death, so i've tried to do all the research, and have very specific questions. I have a 2004 vibe gt and took my car to a mechanic and they said i needed new struts and strut mounts in both the front for over 900+ tax...

Guitarheroal

i wish i could, but the clip on the panel broke off as well as where the clip goes into. I have no idea where they went either. i might be sol and will try to just glue it on.
