My car started doing this exact thing this morning (VSC light blinking, ABS, Traction Control and brake lights all steady)... I will hope for the best until I have a day off where I can get it to the garage to be looked at while I wait. I can definitely tell the traction control isn't working proper...
Mine is possibly still for sale... 2009 2.4l automatic, ultra white. Will come with two sets of wheels (stock 17" powdercoated metallic red with all season tires and 18" wheels with summer tires), plus a cold air intake (and the original stock filtration system which is only ever on for PA...
So an update... the other night I puled the passenger carpet back and unconnected the lower section of the drain hose, and promptly flooded my floor. D'oh! But earlier today we finally got it to the boyfriend's garage, and he used his air compressor to blow out anything that would have been blocking...
I saw that your Privat wheels are 18"x8". Do you have any idea what the offset is? Also, could you please post some pictures showing how far the wheels stick out of the wheel wells? I am considering getting some aftermarket 18" wheels for my 2009 GT and am trying to get an idea of ho...
Yeah it sounds like the condensate drain pan and/or tube are the culprit. Not sure exactly where they are located but it should be illustrated in my Helm manuals. I'll have to look into this for you when I get back in town early next week ;) Thank you... if we haven't gotten it figured out before y...
Sorry I can't provide any help related to your current issue, but I take it you decided not to sell the Vibe? Just curious... The sale is on hold for the winter... was going to sell outright to a dealer a month or so back and they lowballed me so I decided to just keep it for now. I am still thinki...
Slight followup... still wet, slowly drying though. No, it's not rainwater. It's definitely a/c related due to the location where it was leaking and the conditions of the vehicle's usage when it was leaking. Haven't used the a/c in over a week thanks to some delightfully brisk weather we are having ...
So about two weeks ago I noticed my driver's side floor mat was wet but didn't think much of it that day since it was raining. Over the few days that followed though, the floor only got wetter. The passenger side had some dampness as well, but nothing like the driver's side. It was definitely runnin...
It's officially up for sale... if anyone knows of someone within oh, 100-150 miles of central PA that's looking for a clean, well-maintained car, feel free to send them my link!
I'm posting this as a feeler for now, will possibly change to a full-blown for sale soon though. I truly love my Vibe, but I'm looking to move soon and need to adjust the budget, which means car payments need to go. Well, that, and I've become obsessed with older VW's again thanks to my boyfriend. A...

I've been doing a ton of googling lately because I want to lower my car, but there's not much available in the way of coilovers. I don't want to just do the lowering springs, my boyfriend, the car guru of the two of us, highly recommends coilovers over the springs and from my research, I tend to agr...
I like it, but then, I've been spending a lot of time hanging out with VW people lately with mismatching car parts. Seriously though, I think it looks good. Wonder how it'll hold up to the elements (especially flying stones).
First class works for me, as does $80... My Paypal email is payments(AT)blackrayne(DOT)com, I am off tomorrow so if you send payment before then they will go out bright and early in the AM.
How does $100 even with shipping sound? I'm guesstimating the shipping weight as 3 pounds, which looks like it would be $28.35 for Priority International shipping.
Got the new tires mounted last week, couldn't wait to get them on the car... thankfully, it's definitely been summery here, and I am loving my new wheels...Taken during the switchover from winter to summer wheels at my boyfriend's place, that's the front end of his VW pickup peeking out behind my ca...
So I bought these hood dampers/lifts on ebay, hoping they would work for a 2009 Vibe, but alas, they are too long. Will definitely work for the earlier Matrix, should work for a Vibe as well. With shipping I paid $56.00, will sell for $45 including shipping in the US. The ends are midly scratched fr...

I love that the other wheels are going to another Vibe owner... he hadn't done any mods to his, but after hearing about what I'm doing with mine I know he's got some ideas now. I have a photo to post of the CAI, just gotta do it from my computer, so I'll do it tonight (on my phone now). I LOVE it!!!...
So I finished school a few weeks ago and almost have some free time again. Got a lot planned for my Vibe for the upcoming weeks... first, the K&N CAI is sitting in the dining room, it's getting installed Thursday (day off work, hanging out with the boyfriend at his garage to do the CAI and an oi...
Yeah, I know... But between working full time and going to school part time and starting up my own business and two kids and a boyfriend and occasionally sleeping, I haven't had much time to be online lately.
Added two more photos... the Momo pedals are finally on (save for one screw on the brake, we'll get that one on soon). I LOVE them... I wasn't happy when I discovered that the gas pedal had been cut down as per the recall a while back (it was done before I bought the car and I didn't notice it until...

I added two more new photos to my first post... she's been debadged for a while now, plus she's had the addition of a rear bumper protector and the bug deflector. I'm really liking those two additions, not only for their functionality, but also because I like the bit of added accent they give. Next ...

So I guess this is my way of introducing myself, jumping right in and sharing my Vibe. I originally had a 2005 Matrix (sadly, she is no more, thanks to a hit and run that totaled her earlier this year... photos, if you care to see them, are here ), and I loved it so much that I wanted another... but...
