05 Vibe with about 167,000 miles.
Usual story. Oil leak for many months . My honest, experiecned mobile mechanic thought it was coming out of the two wires around near the bottom pulleys. we changed the valve cover gasket at least once. changed a grommet to do with the two wires.
I,m planning to have him just change the O Ring for the timing chain tensioner.
Toyota dealer says on the 05 corolla there is two different O Rings.
To make things as risk free as possible how about just changing the O Ring and not the tensioner itself.
Any one had luck like that.
If it is the timing chain cover, is that a major job?
Also it will be appreciated if some one knows the part number for the O Ring.
Hoping this Vibe will be in the family for several more years .
Thanks for any help.
