How big of a risk would I be taking by not replacing the belt tensioner @ 115k miles? Is it a known failure point? Will be doing these jobs myself and not sure I'll be able to manage that bit. Was planning on just cleaning all the accessible pulley contact points...

Thanks for your thoughts SSizler, I forgot about the PVC valve... recall replacing that a few times on my old 2.3L Mustang. I don't remember seeing that item in the Owner's manual maintenance schedule, but it's been a while since I looked at it. I thought I had the service manual for my Vibe, but tu...

Hey all, I have a 2010 (final year) base automatic Vibe with the 2.4L engine with ~115k miles on the ODO. I consider its use case as "normal", mixed surface and high-way, no towing. There's a little bit of clicking from the engine but that's always been there. Car is due to for tune-up, an...

No sunroof but there's 12V to the map and dome lights. Do you know where the sunroof connector is located? Might save me from having to splice. Tbh, I'm not familiar with the 2009-201? models. I know in both of my 2003's and my 2008, the sunroof controls and the map lights were in the same module r...

Do you have a sunroof? Even if you don't. the wiring for one might still be there. If so, you'll have a definite switched 12v source. No sunroof but there's 12V to the map and dome lights. Do you know where the sunroof connector is located? Might save me from having to splice. Surprised that there'...

Hi all, I'm trying to add a USB port near the rearview mirror in my 2010 Vibe for use with a dashcam. I'm currently running an unsightly wire down to the lighter plug to power the dashcam, which I would like to get rid of. I made the incorrect assumption that the Onstar mirror would have an ignition...

Just for closure, I ended up buying a wheel from ebay seller wheels_america_houston. The refurbished wheel came packaged really well and looks great. I sent my old one back and they refunded me $40 after a few weeks. Will probably reach out to them again if I need to replace another wheel in the fut...

Thanks for the info, I haven't had a chance to swing by the (semi) local place to get the details on the repair. If something like your solution pops up on ebay I'm going to pull the trigger; but haven't had much luck thus far.

Thanks for the feedback... I had assumed that the $160 the local place quoted me over the phone was just to repair the wheel, and they would charge me more to re/mount the tire and balance the wheel, which would put it about equal with the new rim. I understand that trying to repair aluminum can be ...

Hi, One of my wheels on my 2010 2.4L Vibe took a rough hit from a pothole and tire guys haven't been able to balance it right since. It's fine up to about 65mph but after that the vibration kicks in. I've been trying to find a replacement for the 17x7 "p24" silver wheel but all the ones I'...

I know it's a late reply but thanks guys! For some reason I stopping getting email notifications to responses.

A couple weeks ago the TPMS light on my 2010 Vibe started blinking and staying on... I borrowed a code reader from a friend but it couldn't communicate with the TPMS module at all... all other systems were talking fine (ECU, brake, etc.). It remained like this for a couple of weeks but the light rec...
