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.
#5484 of 5644 Son will keep the ECHO by babyboomer Dec 01, 2008 (6:35 pm)
Drove the 2001 ECHO from Nashville, TN to Indianapolis, IN. for Thanksgiving. The car did great! The only problem I had was trying to tolerate my son's music. Years ago I swapped the ECHO for his 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee because he commutes many miles each day. I told him I would swap back any time. He said it was the best deal he ever made so will keep the ECHO.   I agreed.
#5485 of 5644 music by kneisl1 Dec 02, 2008 (6:44 am)
What sort of music does he listen to? Mine was into Metalica and the like for a while. I always liked the Doors. Replies to this message: babyboomer (Dec 06, 2008 5:05 am)
