Well considering I'm not an old timer on this forum, i'll leave the nostalgia to some of you others. This site was one of the reasons I chose to buy my vibe. I've always looked to the internet for common problems and quirks in a vehicle before making a purchase. Though the vibe is not without it's q...
I bought a set a while back, one of the originals were broken and i replaced both.. Can't remember if the not broken one was pas or driver side. I'll check when i get home and get back to ya..
Just an update for those that are interested.. I wrapped up the head gasket and lower intake manifold work.. The van still was throwing P0171(lean) codes, but was no longer leaking coolant nor oil. I replaced the Fuel injectors and ensured no vacuum leaks were present, and no more P0171 codes thus f...
nice ride!! I sold my 02' F-150 due to the cost of gas, and purchased my 05' base Vibe with the proceeds.
I know it's a big argument about which brand is King, but for me it's Ford or Foreign (Toyota, Honda, Nissan).
I really dig those seats, all sorts of jealous now. LoL
Feminine in the sense that it's a girly car, or that a real man wouldn't drive one? NO.. feminine in the sense that I refer to her as a her, or call her sexy pet names when I'm washing off grime? SURE!! My car is a she.. That's all there is to it.. I accept that I'm strange and that my car has a fem...
was under my FWD base 05 the other day changing oil.. It had a drain plug for the trans too.. Might want to doublecheck that before rigging a vacuum with tubing..
Good luck. You might find the job is not nearly as time-consuming as you think. [/i] These forums keep eating my posts.. ?!?!?! .. I'm 30 Hours into it, spent 4 or so of these de-greasing and cleaning mating surfaces.. All in all not too bad, but definatley time consuming.. Would hate to have to do...
this site ate my post.. GRRRRRRR thanks for the insight guys.. I did find a very small coolant leak the other day.. think it's coming from my lower intake manifold.. to replace the gasket is a 5 hr job for a real mechanic.. so it'll take me 10 hrs or 2 weeks.. I'll likely get cracking on this come S...
Right place to post? IDK.. Needed a place to rant and possibly get some assistance.. Let's start with the positive.. I purchased my 05 vibe base last year.. It's been a great vehicle. I installed a kick A## sound system, tinted my windows, and cleaned the crap out of it. I am tickled pink with my li...
Looks Great! Seems like a very reasonable price for mp3 & usb, bluetooth. Did you do a lot of research? How do you like this new unit? I'll be looking for an inexpensive replacement stereo for my 05 base soon. chiadog The unit is awesome!! I thought the price was quite reasonable when looking a...
I'll bite... I installed an aftermarket HU last week. and plan to do some accessories and modding in the next few months.. So what better place to park it and enjoy my pictures!! Here is what I purchased: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500CDE133B/Alpine-CDE-133BT.html?tp=5684 Will upload pics later, i...
Anyone see the window catching a door check when rolled down? I am facing this problem and am seeking alternatives to replacing the check. Lets face it, I'm cheap..
Glad to hear you're starting off right by fixing/replacing the broken/missing parts. Once you're done with that, do you have any plans for mods? Glad to hear you agree about the color, but it's not grey ;). There are a few different shades of grey on Vibes and then there's silver; Satellite, Platin...
Thanks all for the kind welcome! I usually am a nonparticipant when it comes to forums. Seems there is always a troll you want to stab, but cant. :twisted: I found a website http://www.gmpartseast.com that is cheaper than the one mentioned here http://forums.genvibe.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=29&...
we welcome eager modders ;) so long as you post pics. if not?..... the mob awaits Well I'd hate for the mob to come get me :| This forum has a picture size limit that I cannot abide by, so here is an imgur link http://imgur.com/a/pJNBV#5 Seriously though, kind of embarrassed to post pictures of the...
So I'm new to this forum and look forward to meeting peeps as enthusiastic as I am about my car. I bought my 05 Vibe, base model with moon and tunes package, and 156k miles, last Saturday. I haven't been a Pontiac fan since the GTO but the vibe caught my eye. Sleek, hatchback, and Toyota motor. WHOO...
