This has happened to me twice now.

First time the dealer changed the PCM as that was the fault showing.
Second time was a Voltage Code related to an Oxygen Sensor, replace and now gone.

It is because the knobs are breaking from the heat. Mine totally broke about a month ago and I followed the other radio know link to fix it. I found knobs for GM at Autozone and fixed. One knob is longer than other and I had to cut it down about an 1/8" to get it to seat properly. Overall I thi...

Well decided I didn't like the orange so went with red. Little background info on the tailgate...... I was moving chairs for a party and one fell and took a gouge out of the bumper so I then decided to use bed liner paint at first but that did not set up right. So then I used Durabak and that had se...

Well got tired of the black grill and the black inserts in fog light area and painted them all this weekend! Black was fading bad so now I think it looks great! What about having a bright White color grill? Well I have orange on the back bumper, need to take a picture of it, so trying to match the ...

Your welcome for the free advertising ! ;) Yes. Thanks! :D Two installation tips: 1) If covering up damage, make sure to smooth out the damage enough to allow the tape to get a good bond surface. 2) The tape has awesome bond strength - when the wheel surface is clean. After a good car wash, use pap...

This is a great idea - definitely checking into it. My daughter recently curbed one of my three remaining pristine wheels. Even if they were damaged on a curb it would protect the wheel and then the wheel band could be replaced. Might try to get my wife's new car done like this before it is too lat...

I swear this is not a set up -- but, with a Pontiac Vibe wheel in the staring role, we just posted a write up on how Wheel Bands can actually survive a curb rash event-- or at least provide for a much easier clean up to a like new condition than if you drive around in bare naked alloy wheels. Here'...

Glad to help, I am the recording secretary for my local USW 2-389 local. Wow such a small world. USW 1-346 here in Toledo is one of my customers. Brian Sidel & Chad Culbertson run it down there. I am employed out of UA Local 50 as a BTJ pipefitter BUT run service calls in the HVAC sector of the...

New Product I just bought through my friends tire shop..... Wheel Bands, track that adheres to whell and a PVC multi-colored plastic pops in, protects and personalizes! That's a really neat idea!

Those look nice :D A bit pricey though :cry: I wonder if they'll get stolen or lost if you hit a curb :o They do add a nice touch to the wheels though ;) They come with a 2 year warranty that also covers the adhesive , so if that happens I get some free, plus I have left over material to do a 5th w...

regnac

Yeah, i don't get why they claim it protects anything... purely cosmetic that said... i actually like em a lot. may try to pick some up for the Civic No , they are really hard PVC, take road abuse quite well. The adhesive is 3M and MAN they are stuck on and do not move at all. Actually they are ora...

It doesn't actually look like that, more like an orange red.... really weird how the picture made it look redder. I do have a K & N replacement filter, after looking at the comparisons and price the difference in performance isn't really worth it is it? Plus the intake is below like a cold air ...

regnac

Yea I'm diggin the paint under the hood. Not sure about red, but painting is going on my "to do" list. I wasn't sure either and still am not, but black would just look stock, thought about orange to go with my calipers but not sure either. Was going to do interior pieces from silver but w...

Can't say I'm a fan of all the red under the hood, but as long as you like it, that's all that matters ;). What you really need under the hood is a K&N Typhoon intake :D! It doesn't actually look like that, more like an orange red.... really weird how the picture made it look redder. I do have ...

Just decided to paint engine components...... 650 degree engine paint, Fire Red from O'Reilly's .... not as red as it looks in the pics

Looks good! I do not think there is an easy fix when a speedo is off - then again most of these 2009-10's seem to have inaccurate speedos anyway! Mine registered a constistent 3 mph higher than what I was really doing almost across the entire range of speeds. I suggest using a GPS (borrow one if yo...

Do you need one unit per headlight? And is this $80 for 2 then? Very very interesting. There are some here that may like this for a projector setup to retain DRL. Myself being one. Myself as well.. another question, where did you get the LED's under the headlight. Also I heard that LED replacement ...

Reason for tire pics, is I just bought them Hercules, made in Ohio. National Road Hazard Coverage http://herculestire.com/indexUS.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; went from 205/45/17 to 215/50/17. On Michigan roads it is a HUGE difference. Speedometer might be off a litt...

Looks good. I've been thinking about painting the calipers too, but that will wait until I have a reason to take them apart. And the heck with a mid life crisis in this car.... I'm 47 and this car is my 4 door "grown up" compromise car. I wanted another 5.0 Mustang, but the wife said grow...

What percent do you figure for the speedometer impact? I think I'll need new tires before we get much snow. The Sumitos that were on the car when I bought it are noisy as heck and are deadly in the rain (as in, you could be dead if you don't slow down). I like the idea of a little more sidewall to ...

They ride a lot better! I will take pics later today and post.

Thanks Kitt, question..... Can I use the Disable DRL intructions and and then wire these to my lights so they come on independent? I asked if the Disable DRL works on 2010 Vibes, trying to simplify mounting and whether I need a separate button to control the LED's. also wondered if I connected the L...

non circular LED
Can you be more specific on what you're looking for?

Do you mean LED strips or a bulb that fits in the housing?

Either one , probably what ever is easier to mount and wire, prefer Strips and even strips under middle bumper.

regnac

Have a base 2010 Vibe with the fog light housing but want to install non circular LED DRL here that will look good. SO MANY crappy looking stuff on internet it is confusing to know what is worth the money.

Thanks!

regnac

I have a 2010 Vibe, has anyone done this on the newer models?

regnac

I have a 2010 Vibe and got the drop in K & N, have one in my wife's 2008 G6 too and have put them in various other vehicles, I would definitely say you get the 2% gain for sure and based on MPG readout's on the G6 at least a 10-15% improvement in gas mileage as well.
