Re: Intermittent blue smoke

On old cars, before catalytic convertors were installed, start up smoke was cause by hard valve stem seals that were leaking oil as long as the engine did not burn a lot of oil. A catalytic convertor can cover up the oil smoke as the catalytic convertor gets very hot. The catalytic convertor can bu...

Hey all,

Looking for a transmission mount to replace due to vibration. I can't seem to find one or it is discontinued.

Thanks!

Paint peel fix?

Hey all,

I've been living in denial about this problem. Is there anything I can do to prevent the peeling getting worse? Or is the only thing I can do is get the hood repainted?

Thanks!

Mike

Finding tranny code to buy correct mounts

Hey all, So my 2010 AWD 2.4L Vibe started vibrating about a year ago when in gear (went away if in neutral). It wasn't so bad for awhile, but now it's getting worse and even vibrates a little when in neutral. Cleaned the MAF, replace spark plugs, but no better. Think I've isolated it too motor and/o...

Rough ride getting rougher..time for new shocks/struts?

Hey all and thanks in advance for advice! Got a 2010 2.4L AWD 71K miles and it's starting to feel like a much rougher ride. The ride has never been great, as mentioned in other posts, but it seems to be getting worse. My local Big O tires changed front tires and I asked them to look at the suspensio...

Re: Vibe is vibratin'

hey caretaker... did u replace due to vibrations?

Even so, I think I'll probably do the plugs and coils anyway even if it does turn out to be the mounts just to keep ahead of the maintenance ;)

Thanks!

Re: '09 Vibe GT - Engine & Transmission Mount Replacement

I have the 2.4L and I'm not sure if there's as much room at back of engine to get to the rear motor mount. Will have to investigate tomorrow

Re: '09 Vibe GT - Engine & Transmission Mount Replacement

Hey sorry to revive old post, but I think I'm headed for this same thing with my 2010 Vibe. Do you know of any online guides or videos ? I think I'm going to have to DIY this :)

Thanks!
