Checking in for the first time.

Post by thirdbird »

Hello, Found this site surfing around and I'm glad I did.I'm in need of a new viscous coupler for my daughter's AWD Vibe. Pontiac says there are none available in the entire USA!!! However, Toyota does have them available. QUESTION:Are they the same parts (viscous coupler AWD Matrix/Vibe)Pontiac P/N 88969224Toyota P/N 41330-12040Thanks for any input.Dave

Welcome tothe site. If Toyota PArts can pull up the peice then chances are its the same one. Usually I find if its mechanical Toyota will have the idenitcal part and for cheaper.

tttNo firm answer??? I appreciate the input so far and the welcomes, very nice!Pontiac nor Toyota will either confirm or deny that the part numbers are interchanegable. With only 37k on the odmeter, I may try warranty possibilites. Don't hold out much hope for that though.
