Thank you again. I didn't have 2,4L in the subject heading but I edited it after you brought it to my attention. I did loosen the alternator but didn't try to forcibly remove it. (It's still held in place by the power of the tensioner) This kind of continues my streak of failure to find the info. I ...

Thank you for the info and link; it had a lot of great information. Sadly It all seems to be for either a 1.8L or an older 2.4L and none of them have the same clearance/ problems so they don't address the problems I'm having. Now I can say I've looked just about everywhere and you have too. Thanks s...

I have searched Gen vibe and Google for days and nobody seems to have pics or clear description of how to remove the Serpentine belt. Just about every problem that could exist, does, exist while trying to change this alternator. Every post or video I have seen turns out to be the 1.8 engine and not ...

There are several Wheel visualizer sites where you can compare a wheel style's appearance to that of your present wheels. Cheaper than buying new wheels and trying them on. I actually like the factory 17" wheels better than any I have seen (Toyota has an almost identical wheel). I really wanted...

Our 2009 Vibe does the same thing. We have had the Intermediate shaft replaced and it needs to be done again already. If you have a clunk when turning and or entering a parking lot it is the same as ours. It is not the column. Our Saturn Vue (04 Redline) had the exact same shaft problem (popping) as...

2009 2.4 Vibe has 5x114.3mm. There is no 5x114. When folks mention 114mm they are causing confusion to those who are not aware of the complete (and correct) size. Other GM have 5x115 but not the Vibe b/c it is really a Toyota Corolla with a new skin. 5x114.3mm is found on many other cars; such as Mu...

Thank You!
I will visit my local dealer as soon as Christmas passes and see if they are willing to help.

Our rattle/noise is really bad and DocDoug seemed to find an answer as he stated in his post above. ...The car didn’t do this when it was new?!@!@#$#@!@!@At 39,000 miles and reading more about the problem, I became angry and called GM Corporate and stated my case. GM coordinated with another deale...

Hello: Could you possibly post a scan of your repair invoice or at least the part number that they replaced so that I could take it to my local dealer. I was actually there last night to try to get the keyless entry working (they couldn't) and the service rep was extremely adamant that I repair the ...
