I'm Buying An Ironman!!!!!

[Gussie2000]

thank you! i will think about it, i will mention it to them after running around and seeing how much it will cost.

for some reason the abs light is on in the car... just took her home, so i am going to have to look into that.

1) One of the ABS sensor are off,so call your dealer & let them have that sensor replace at onces.

The air sound is the air filter!! holy crap its loud, i may buy some sound deadning mat and place it around it. the door i can hear at 70 mph and will need to be repositioned, the dome light wont come on, and i am going to get my fluids checked and changed this weekend.

2) Tomorrow check the air filter housing to see if the cover are air tight closed along the whole intake, the filter cover comes with 4 clamps to keep it in place,also check the intake black plastic pipe,also the filter it self to make sure is not damage.That sound could be a air leak,if you cannot find the source of the problem have the dealer's repair shop solve the issue.

How do i work the cd player, it doesnt take cds, it lights up and all and i hear the motor working to select a cd, but is there a special way to insert the disk or do i just shove it in, because thats not working haha

3) This CD changer is proune to fail,how ever in order to know if it works you must select the CD feature at the tape's deck,then all lites should turn on,after that press the the eject button at the CD changer console to make sure that there's no other CD's inside,after that press the number (1) button,that specific button will blink about 3 or 4 times,when that same lite turn amber it means you can go ahead & carefully place the cd,,don't force it in,the CD changer would actually "grabb" the Cd & slide it in to play.

Another detail i fail to aknowledge you is that if you what to play a Cd in the slot # 4 you just press that specific button,the CD will process your command & play the CD,also if you wnat to remove that CD you press the button the CD is placed on & then press the reject the button onces you had the CD out you can go ahead & put another CD in that same slot.whenever a slot is empty i think the lite will remain amber color to notify you that the slot's empty

Along with the owners manual at the globe box there should be a 4 pages manual to show you how the CD changer works,if is not there then let me know,i'll look into mines this weekend & write you back,but first take care of that air leak,the ABS sensor & the door.

If the CD changer don't work few of the fellow VX'ers have their own removed & stored with no use so you can make a deal for one.

4) the dome light can be easy as a blown bulb to a broken wire in the line,to know if the wires are bad you should take the VX to an audio shop & have them test the wiring for shorts with a multimeter tester,also check the fuse box at the very left side of the dash board,if you haven't noticed there's a fuse box cover,there's the fuse related to the doom light,another possible cause of the non dome light is the switch it self that may be have loose contact properties.

the door i can hear at 70 mph and will need to be repositioned.

WHAT!!!!!! Does it have a roof rack? If so then problem solved, that’s a common issue.

i think i am just going to repalce the whole audio system. i actually found wires throught the car for a sub and what not... they are preran, so i will try to see what they can hook up to.

i do not have an owners manual but if you wouldnt mind letting me know some more info or sending a copy of some pages to me i would greatly appreciae it.

as you said my first priority is the ABS, the door, and silencing the airfilter.

the door is not shutting all the way and i can hear and feel the air coming in.... yes it has a roof rack and its quiet...

also the windows i noticed do not like to stay in the track... is that what the common window issue is? if so i dont mind buying the window brackets i saw earlier today as long as i have the use of my windows.

Also check the ebay.com web site,i sure there's owner's manual for sale,it doesn't matter if is 1999,2000 or 2001,all comes with the same info

I believe moncha (administrator) have the manual for download right here on the board

Yes,the windows is the most comom issue the VX's came along with beside the oil burning.

There's fixes for the windows,the most common is widening the tracks the windows rolls up & down,i did it & it works perfectly,I also removed some of the black rubber on both sides of the tracks.

In order to do that you must remove the door panels & you can see them right front of you

Well, ok then. Mine’s not, my roof rack sounds like a samurai sword being swooshed thru the air right at 70mph. It lets me know I’m speeding.

Killinformula,
Sounds like you got a great deal. All you need now are to get some 18" chrome wheels with some 285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers and you'll be set.
BTW - I think I know a guy who can hook you up.
Peace.
Tom
p.s. It's always great to see another Texan with a VX. Last, I think the guys on the board would agree you got the coolest color for a VX.
