Hello, im a new VibeR from Honduras

Post by wecafinas »

Greetings friends, just yesterday I received my 2006 Pontiac Vibe brought from America to my country, Honduras. Obviously a used car with a bang. Well, I've been desperate to find the repair manual of this car and can not find free pdf anywhere, so I decided to enter this forum, perhaps to be lucky enough that someone could help me.I apologize because I'm using google translator, and who do not speak English.If someone could guide me on where to find the manual, would be absolutely grateful ... It will continue in the forum because I see very good topics of conversation that can guide me as the owner of Vibe.By the way, I'm from Honduras, Central American country ... entirely Latino.Thanks for reading friends.

Hello bro... well, i have enter to that link, but there is just MATRIX... i downloaded every pdf from there, 980pdf hehe...This is my car, just crashed on USA...I must repair the bumper, the hood (do not know how they say it in English), the fender, and focus ... besides that broke down the rim, damper, and other accessories.Because to some extent disarmed the front of the car, the damaged, but several wires were broken by the collision and here in my city there are not many of these cars, so it is difficult for the mechanic to fix it.......... PS: if I am much in a subforum escribieno inappropriate, please indicate .... Thank you.

Welcome to Genvibe! Looks like a good project you have there. The Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe are mechanically identical, the body is just different. If you understand ingles, or know anyone who does, these videos could help:https://www.youtube.com/user/e...=vibe

Welcome to this great Vibe forum, wecafinas. When it comes to repairing your Vibe, much of what you want to know is already known by some of the members right here. There is a good chance that others here have already done most of what you will be doing, so ask away. I belong to many different types of online forums and this one is, by far, one of the most helpful forums you will ever see.Your posts, even going through a translator, are coming through just fine and are completely understandable.

Greetings again, fellow ...I do not know if here I should ask questions about what I need to learn from you about my Vibe.Currently I have an doubt ... in my car blew two air bags, which had the steering wheel and had the driver's seatbelt. My question is:Should I do anything special to disable electronic sensors or procedure? I am told that the panel will always have signal CHECK. I much appreciate an answer on this issue.PS: Thanks for giving me more welcome.

saludosEl 2003-2008 Pontiac Vibe comparte su motor y la transmisión con el modelo 2003-2008 Toyota Corolla con la base de 1.8l 1ZZ-FE motorNo, no es necesario desconectar los sensores de airbag, ya que ambos han desplegado ya. Sin embargo, si usted realmente quiere hacerlo, entonces simplemente desconectar los cables. Los cables de airbag son de un color amarillo brillanteBuena suerte con su proyecto
