glad your ok!!!!!!! i had a siezure at work due to epilepsy, emergency room docs in canada automaticly have to report to licence office and you get your licence suspended till you are sezure free for one year. takes a long time to get your licence back, how does it work with diabetetes?

coratz

i inspected my plugs at 30000km due to a rough idle. the plugs all have a white coating on them indicating to lean of a fuel mixture and there getting to hot.

Attached files

coratz

irididum plugs come pregaped you will wreck the plugs if you try to gap them.

coratz

if you take the plastic engine cover off, you will see a sticker on the side that says iridium plugs only and dont gap them??? i would change your pcv vavle for your other engine problems if you have not already done so.

coratz

get it fixed, you will have wind noise, and probably the windows will rattle when the are part way down. that is not aceptable on a brand new car.

coratz

had to have the entire seal and window moulding replaced frow it warped out of track. it strted to leak on the inside of the car(drivers window) under warenty 30000km 2003 vibe

coratz

got 680km till the low fuel light just came on. mix of highway and city driving on pioneer gas. i estimate with about 43l of gas. this does not happen all the time, seems with esso gas i get less. low fuel light comes on at 600 and 640

coratz

coratz

ah!!! great mat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cheap too!!! but will it repell doggy puke!!!!! i have two dogs, and each trip i take one or the other will decide to get car sick.

coratz

but, when you replaced the cabin air filter or take it out totatly did you notice an increase in blower noise??? my vibes ac/ heater is genraly much noiser on med/full blast now that i changed/ or remove the filter / i dont want to look like a total idiot if i bring it to the dealer. are your vibes ...

coratz

coratz

happy birthday genvibe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

coratz

pop the hood check the brake fluid level , check the front wheels, feel how close the "squealer is to the rotor" this will tell you roughly how much pad is left without acutally looking. or go some where for a free brake inspection.

coratz

my base vibe 2003 has enoungh power to get me in plenty troube up to the sppeed limit. all these turbos being added why? is this for the track?

coratz

you will also kill your emmissions warenty on them which i think is like 7 or 8 years in canada. not a good move since there are two of them.

coratz

buy the rear bumper protector,, it really saves claw marks from the dogs getting in and out. also the real cargo mat is great for fliping over when traveling with dogs, puke from to many timbits hoses right off.

coratz

it cheaper at future shop for it includes BASIC!!!! instalation by a contracted out installer. im pretty sure it is Gain automotive. hoodpins backup eqip/ etc all cost extra. it is a good alarm through. plan on spending a bit more for the extra part for the " included instlation"

coratz

interesting--- so just what does that sensor do? if you eat to much at wendys or macdonalds the airbags go at full force due to the supersize combo in your belly? no for real, what are the specs??????? i know there are warning that unless your 12 , your not to be in the front seat. anyone know the a...

coratz

get a Viper alarm system put in professionaly with a waranty. i personally feel that paging systems are useless for i would not want to confront a car theif personaly. i have had a viper system for 2 years and with all the features that you require and have had no problems. one false alarm due to th...

coratz

a trip through an automatic indoor carwash usually melts your vibrations away.

coratz

does anyone one know the toyota color or is it a "gm colour" for touch up paint for the "Dupli colour touch up paints" for the satalite silver vibe. They are a lot cheaper than the dealer brands.thanks

coratz

i wonder what the two tread wear ratings on the conti vs rsa's are? anyone looked into this?

coratz

with the goodyears or conti's it really depends on how you drive ......will depend on how fast they will wear out. ive worn out tires in 10 000km(dunlops) the vibe has the goodyear rsa's and 17500km the tires look like new and still have the rubber beads on the side from the factory. why I ask?? my ...

coratz

did you guys know that toyoyta/ pontiac has tried to save a bit of money and materials buy cuting out the space underneath the front passanger seat fold down plastic cover????? the plastic cover on my vibe has fallen off for the plastic clips that hold it in place have broken , i hope this is a ware...

coratz

coratz

for you technojunkies out there..... do you think mrsamwongs pcm will re learn his fuel/air/knock mix right away? seeing that he did this 87 octane thing since his car was new for a few months? maybe a battery disconect after a proper octane fill up???

coratz

wow thanks , that was cool. i could imagine if that was a weak link of the car----warped hoods messed up alighnments etc...... i always thought that a strut tower brace was a cosmetic improvement or a way for advertisment. gm DID make some weak unibodys in those sunbird with the 3.1 motors in 91, th...

coratz

coratz

coratz

coratz

anyone seen that dcp???solar charger in the canadian tire flyer, that looks pretty cool for 80 bucks. i wonder what benfits that would have on your battery. for to tech junkies out there, why have they not miniturized the 12 volt auto battery? make it pocket sized so you could keep it warm and fully...

coratz

hey any of you guys that do your own oil worry about marking up your frame rails/underbody? i use blocks of wood under my jackstands/floor jack but i still manage to dent it up!!!! anyone got any idea other than jack your car up slower? my wife just does not think a lift is a worthwhile expense righ...

coratz

i posted at the begining of september..... the stock toyota battery self destructed and leaked acid all over the engine/hood, hoses everything. The stock battery (toyota) that came with the vibe was junk) get the delco one put in. The vibe cranks way faster now.

coratz

coratz

they are in the canadian tire flyer this week. cool!

coratz

could be a scam to get more money a month at a higher interest rate out of your girlfriend. its an old dealer trick to make the financing fall through a few weeks later. she may get suckered into a higher rate loan. dealer probably knows her fico score and is going to roll her into a 12 to 15 % loan...

coratz

got the floor jack out today and had a peek under the vibe. shes almost a year old in october. i did notice quite a bit of corosion on the control arms for a car being so new. you guys/ girls may want to rust/check/krown that area for i did today. i am quite pleased with the amount of factory applie...

coratz

when i moved last month i wanted to save the movers a bit of time..... the vibe fit a full size washing machine in the back with the seat folded down. i then went back for the dryer lol!!!!!! at a red light a driver of a full size dodge pickup was laughing so hard he had tears streaming down his fac...

coratz

i have noticed that some of you gays/ guys are gettin up in km/ miles has anyone had to replace any pads/shoes or rotors yet? if so at what milage. please post miles or kilometers. i wonder what the life expectancy is. thanks guy/gals

coratz

fipk from k/n, drop in air filter from k/n, header, zex kit or nx kit,kind of hard to get more torque out of a 1.8l for 400 bucks

coratz

why do people mount those in windows in cars in plain view? i could never figure that out. kind of hard to break saftey glass if there is a real fire or some thing?

coratz

i doubt thats a warenty part. i might call gmcanada and tell themto give it to me free or threaten to go down the street to Ford and ask them to glue a Ford logo on my vibe lol!!
