I don't think so. But it's weird how it only happens in third gear.

Hey guys and gals. As soon as I turn on the vibe there is a ticking coming from around the glove box. But when I hit the "recirculation button" it stops. What do I look for and how do I fix it? I am guessing I can drive the car with that button on right?Someone told me that it is somekind ...

Hey folks,I just had my clutch replaced (112k) for the second time. I bought the clutch kit from the same place I bought it when it went out at 60k miles. It is aftermarket. But, because I work at a Volvo dealer, I had a mechanic do the labor. Now when I try to shift into 3rd there is a loud scratch...

Well I work for a Volvo dealer and I thought it would be easier on him if I just supply them.

I am having my mechanic perform a coolant flush on my 03 GT. Question: Should I have him drain it from the radiator or from the block? I don't think it has ever been flushed (100kmi) And should I go ahead and purchase new rubber hoses from Autozone so he can replace them?Last question: Thermostat? r...

Thanks!

Everyone said clutches are bad on GT's. So at 70k miles it went out. I replaced it and now at 112k miles again it went out. And again I am going with a aftermarket clutch. It's good that even though I haven't taken care of the car this is the only thing that has gone wrong with it. But still, AGAIN ...

What do you guys think about Autozone brake pads/rotors?

Hey guys and gals. On my 2003 Vibe GT I have that grey plastic trim around the vehicle. I believe that the same year they had the option where the whole body would be one color right? My question is, can I either try to find a wrecked Vibe GT and pop them off and replace them with mine? Or just orde...

I have the GT's 6 spd chrome knob

What do you guys think about GM parts direct prices? I've been looking at some prices and I am guessing they are reasonable. Where do most of you guys go for replacement parts?

How do I remove rust from my shift knob?

its 2wd, basically want to stay stock.i just want to do as much as possible to start fresh. i want the car to last a long time mainly because i havent taken care of it.

My car has 100k miles. When does someone normalychange out the the springs/shocks? If I am in need, which ones do you reccomend?OEM? Aftermarket?

I've done the air filters.Radiator fluid no. It is a manual transmission so how does that work?Plus, I am taking it to a Volvo dealer (because thats where I work + discounts) but they will need all the parts. What do I do about the hoses? Which ones exactly and where?

Hey everyone. I've had this car since it was new (2003 GT) I've done all oil changes, the 30k mile service, new serpentine belt 10k miles ago,new clutch 20k miles ago, spark plugs 10k miles ago. Other than that I haven't taken care of my car. Now I am a few hundred miles from 100k miles and I need t...

I work at a Volvo dealer that is why I had them look it over. What does Glaze over mean?

A little over a year ago my brakes started to whistle under braking. I took it to my Volvo dealer which I work in and they showed me the pads and I had about 80% of life still left. Now for the past 2 months its back to whistling again. What can that be? Is there a way to know when you need new pads...

I just recently had all my profiles deleted and re-registered. My profiles were qriel5, 2003vibrator, and my current one is 03vibrator. All my posts were deleted also unfortunately. Had my Vibe since 6/03 and it now has 90k miles. Issues I've had: clutch slipping, serpentine belt nightmare, changed ...

AND DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A WIDE BODY KIT FOR THE VIBE? is it possible to go to a body shop that deals with imports and...
