Replaced both lights for the heater and A/C controls. While I was in there I took that ugly green thing off the lighter plug LED in so it now glows white. Looking for a red one, anyone know where I can try? All the auto parts stores here said they don't have anything that small.

Yesterday, washed, cleaned interior surfaces with Mequiars Quick Interior, worked on some scratches, and put some Mequiars NXT wax down. Also applied my Grafwerks lift gate inlay. Tedious work for my big meaty welders hands, but it looks great. Screwed up the rear arrowhead overlay of all things and ordered a new one.

Just another oil change today. I lost track of a few of them, but I know I'm in the forties on the oil change count.

cool stuff everyone is working on their vibes. i just finished putting my thottle body back on today. i took the throttle body off to clean the idle air control valve, because i had a rough idle and stalled once, clean the maf and anything else with carbon. got it all back together and it really runs better, there's alot less engine vibration also.

Thewolf · Post by **Thewolf** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 12:40 pm

Oil & filter, and spark plugs. 127k and counting on a 2004 GT. 110k on the first clutch. Great car!

Well, it was started, last night and it wasn't actually to the Vibe itself, but to something going in it. I've got the first coat of Herculiner on the sub box! Looks pretty good with the first coat, but going to be much better once the second is applied!

Kamikaze · Post by **Kamikaze** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 11:45 pm

I de-badged the rest of the Vibe over the weekend.

A day shy of 7 months since delivery of my '09 and 2,513 miles - went to dealer to get first oil change. Went to grocery store - bought 2 cases of Bud Light - there was a $12 rebate so I passed up the cheap beer.. Why do I feel like I am twittering?

Yup! Took them this morning.

bodhi_tree777 · Post by **bodhi_tree777** » Wed Aug 12, 2009 3:34 am

looks very nice, I just may have to try this. I thought you meant you'd actually dyed the whole carpet floor, which I guess would also be possible. Just more of an undertaking.When you say the Vibe logo wasn't dyed, do you mean that you avoided dying it or that it simply didn't take the color the way the carpet fibers did?

MSAGRO · Post by **MSAGRO** » Wed Aug 12, 2009 5:50 am

Does not take the color the way the carpet fibers did. Must be the shiny thread they use for the logo.

Blueridge9 · Post by **Blueridge9** » Wed Aug 12, 2009 10:36 am

Great idea dying the floor mats, they turned out well. Here's what I did: I hit a concrete curb in the parking lot and could hear something scraping so had to replace a screw that dropped off under the bumper and now she's good to go.

I did the first oil change on my mom's '09 GT (2487 miles) today. Checked all the fluids, tires, etc. I also rotated the tires on my '09 GT (5247 miles).I also wanted to detail both of them this weekend, but it's supposed to rain all week so I figured it wasn't really worth it. Next weekend they will both be getting fully detailed for sure.

star_deceiver · Post by **star_deceiver** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 2:13 pm

Changed the oil/filter for the 2nd time. 1st at 500kms, this one at 6881kms.

technically it was yesterday but i didn't have time to post. i changed oil/filter, cleaned out the cabin filter(not very well), rotated the tires and painted the drums black. looks nice. i left the calipers cause i didn't feel like taping up everything but i actually like the look of them as grey.

I refilled with just shy of 3qts seemed like more drained out, but the level checks ok. I'll keep an eye on it and add more if need be.Rear Diff Fluid drain and Fill just over half a qt here inline with owners manual.Used Royal Purple Fluids.Brake Inspection determined Fronts are at 50% @ 60K miles. Some rusting of the calipers. When Brake job is needed later on calipers will be replaced as well.I wanted to do this a couple weeks ago, but I've been dealing with gastritis and heat exhaustion. But feeling better now.I've had a busy morning. It is Labor day weekend after all.

First oil and filter change (1,200 miles). I like the vertical filter - took just under 4 qts to refill.

My Vibe has been attacked by ARTILLERY FUNGUS twice. I had to spend hours rubbing and picking it off of the rear corner and the roof!Look up the term "artillery fungus" this is a very serious bombing raid.Tip: Use a wet paper towel and your finger nail within it and pick them off and keep rubbing lightly until it's spot is completely gone.
