#5474 of 5644 ECHO Birthday! by kneisl1 Nov 15, 2008 (10:58 am)
Today my ECHO is EIGHT years old! Where does the time go huh? I celebrated by treating it to a car wash with the last coupon in my book. (10 washes for $50) 43,200 miles. At this rate in another 12 years it will have 106,000 miles on it! Replies to this message: nippononly (Nov 15, 2008 12:38 pm)

I have never owned a car that was so inexpensive to operate. It still has never needed a repair.   And mine is already past 106,000. In fact, on Friday it turned over 108,200.

Replying to: kneisl1 (Nov 15, 2008 12:46 pm) That's cute! You make me want to have a whole little fleet of Echos! In the complex where I live, there are a total of 3 others, 1 green 4-door (I love that green, I wish I had searched around for a green one), 1 silver 4-door with the factory alloys (my how I envy those factory alloys!), and the only other stick shift, a black 2-door.

Replying to: kneisl1 (Nov 15, 2008 6:09 am) While looking in the engine compartment, I noticed a hose leading the air cleaner box was disconnected. I put it back on and the CEL went off. I hope that's all it was. And this happened right after I got an oil change. Coincidence? I don't know. I guess it could of came off by accident. But I'm not taking my car to that shop anymore.
#5480 of 5644 shop by kneisl1 Nov 16, 2008 (3:01 pm)
Hmm really BAD garages add on repairs and play on your ignorance of your car to run up your bill. Once a Sears mechanic squirted oil on the shocks of my wifes one year old Camry and claimed they needed replacement RIGHT AWAY! When I told him the car was still under warranty his face fell a mile. So I doubt the shop caused the hose to come loose. Unlikely they would touch anything near there to change the oil. A loose hose is small potatoes...usually they go for a $2000 series of repairs!    Just saying because if the garage has done right by you in the past it would be a shame to lose a good place to have your car fixed. Unless of course its Jiffy Lube or equal. Then I advise not going there! Replies to this message: rep5858 (Nov 16, 2008 7:26 pm)
#5481 of 5644 green by kneisl1 Nov 16, 2008 (3:07 pm)
Yeah I like the green color too! An unusual color for ANY car and very striking. There was a green 2001 selling for $4995 with 85k on it about a week after I bought the silver one for my son. The guy was moving to Europe. I wish there was a local ECHO club. Id have them all changing their oil and checking their valve adjustments at 60k miles!

Replying to: kneisl1 (Nov 16, 2008 3:01 pm) I take the car there sometimes. They are not jiffy lube - i heard what could happen there! Could the hose worked itself loose? The guy at the auto shop doesn't seem dishonest. But you never know with this economy he may of did it to make some extra money. I'll take it to my usual mechanic in my area. I commute 110 miles RT daily and that shop was a block away. So i take in there for convenience.
#5483 of 5644 hose by kneisl1 Nov 17, 2008 (6:49 am)
One of my hoses came loose when I changed the air filter once, although that didnt make the CEL come on. Perhaps you had that done recently? If it DID loosen by itself it might do so again. Good idea to keep an eye on it.
