Hi everyone!
One major problem happened two weeks ago on my 2007 170k km Vibe-that-I-love: a gas leak. It smelled awful and it left a clear mark in the snow. So I brought it to the garage this morning and the diagnostic is: the extension pipe is touching the plastic gas tank, which made the tank melt over time. There was no protection shield to separate the two parts. So the garage tells me the melting had been going on for some time - according to him, even before October, when he installed this new extension exhaust pipe (without any protective shield!). I don't believe the melting started before October. I feel he just wants to shy away from his responsibility... which could have been fatal (right?)!
My question to the Vibe community: in the original Vibe layout, is there any chance the extension pipe could have been installed THAT CLOSE to the plastic gas tank?
Thanks for any input you may have!
