Re: new type of plug (Digger)

Their web site said they are suppose to last 50,000 miles. I'm skeptical that they do better than regular plugs. How old were the plugs that they replaced in the cars that showed the gains? They may have gotten the same or better results by replacing the plugs with just regular new plugs. I'm sticki...

Re: (Digger)

I've had a Pella extractor for about a year now. I heard about them on the VW web site(www.tdiclub.com). It is a cleaner and just as effecient way of changing the oil. But changing the oil filter still makes a mess.

Re: traded in the vibe (Lancer)

I've read the Neons rate poorly in crash test. The Vibes rate overall good. I picked a Vibe with side impact bags because of the safety rating, a 5 out of 5.

Biodiesel is already fairly available depending on where you live. I know someone here in town that brews his own. VW diesels get around 50 mpg. Our government needs to invest more into developing alternative energy sources instead of giving record tax breaks to the oil industry.

Re: reverse sensor (mcgusto82)

I'm interested in installing sensors. Where did you purchase them? Isn't the display suppose to go in the rear window so you can see it while you're looking as you're backing up?

nerf bars or grille protector

Has anyone installed nerf bars or grille protector on their AWD Vibe's? I've looked for after market parts and haven't found any. It's seems they are available for other small AWD cars like the Subaru Forester. I wonder if Nerf Bars from a RAV 4 or other would match? I recently purchased an AWD 04. ...

Re: (jasonvibe)

I just installed all 4 on Monday night. I found the same problem with the front push pins being at least 1/2 inch too long. I bet they won't make it past the winter's ice. But the other 2 screws should hold on the guards. I ordered my guards off ebay. They are GM. Seems like GM should send the right...

Re: DTC P0420 - No Driveability Issues (Toolman)

Autozone just pulled the same code plus another exhaust code this week on my Buick Rendezvous. Turns out my gas cap wasn't seated properly. Why that would trigger an exhaust code, I have no idea. Probably not the case with your car, but maybe worth checking.
