Mr. Gasket universal fit backing plates / dust sheilds ?

I have a 2010 Vibe base with the 2.4, I need new rear backing plates for the disc brakes. Has anyone tried to adapt these Mr. Gasket universal plates to fit ? Mine were so rusted that they were dragging on the rotor and I just reached them with my hand and ripped them off. So I have no idea what the...

Re: Valve Adjustments?

I just checked the clearance on my 2010 2AZ engine w/ 190000 miles and was happy that all intakes were .009 and all exhausts were at .011 + or - .001 and the engine runs quiet. I took off the right front tire and pulled the plastic panel that covered the crankshaft pulley nut so I could rotate the c...

Re: dkwallis 2010 AWD Vibe

I would check the trans fluid again once you have been driving it a while and it’s warm, running in park check several times to be sure. If it’s high I would siphon some out to make it right as overfilled is not good with any fluid. Actually I would change the fluid and filter as I never trust what ...

Re: Your Vibe's name

I bought my 2010 White Vibe on New Years Eve 2021 the same day that Betty White passed away so I like the name Betty so that’s what my wife and I will call “ her”. I have even ordered a decal with a nice smiling pose of Betty White that will go on the back of my Vibe. My wife’s car is a 2018 VW Golf...

Re: Top speed?

This is not about a Vibe but related, I have a home built rail buggy with a stock 1600 air cooled VW beetle engine. It has no body just a tube chassis built over a beetle floor pan plus a good windshield and roof cage. It has all of the required safety equipment to be street legal and that’s where I...

Re: ABS fuse box ( pic )

I don’t know much about where the Vibe spent most of its life. I know it was in Ohio for at least 3-4 years as I bought it in OH and when I pulled out the rear seat cushion to vacuum and see how much money was there I found a couple of sales receipts from OH in 2018. I don’t believe it has ever been...
