Re: Heater Core Question

Strangest thing tonight while working. I had heat as I would normally have it out of all the vents. It was as hot as it should be. This car has really caused me a lot of confusion on what the problem could be. I never lost heat at all and it got to 35 degrees which the night before I had no heat exc...

I had an 03 that was an automatic but totaled it in 2011. Best car I owned until I got my 2010 Vibe. I am considering on buying a Gen 1 Vibe since I liked it so much. Before I bought my 2010,I was looking at I think an 05 or 07 that was AWD and had 78,000 miles on it. I found out repairs would be wa...

Re: What did you do to your Vibe today?

Also changed both air filters. I never owned a car with a cabin filter and I have only had my Vibe since Feb 2015 and it was pitch black. I don't think it has ever been changed.

The one I posted is a few dollars cheaper on the parts I needed. The center console pieces were missing in my car and they had them a little cheaper.

Re: O2 Sensor

hi VibeIN: When you get the codes checked at a parts store you need to careful: always write down the DTC (digital trouble code) as it shows on the scanner. The store clerk may just know that a code is based on a particular sensor. For example "P0171: lean condition on cylinder bank 1". T...

Re: how reliable are the 1.8

I had an 03 Base model I bought with 67,000 miles on it.Totaled it out at 120,000 miles. Only problem I had was a new starter I put on besides oil changes,brakes and tires. I took that car everywhere and it ran like it was new when I wrecked it.

What can I say,I knew what I was buying when I got another Vibe since my 1st one was probably the best car I owned,I figured I would give it another shot. Hasn't disappointed me yet. The prob...

I check my oil weekly and haven't had a problem with it.I haven't changed the oil yet since it got changed before I bought it and still has a few thousand miles to go before it is due. I had a 2003 Vibe and as much ...

Re: Vibe 2005 when starting after longer time RPM's kicks hi

I had a 2003 that would idle at about 1800rpm on cold starts but after it would warm up it would go to a normal idle until the engine got cold again.Never worried about it and it wasn't the first one I seen like it.I figured it was just normal.
