Thanks again for the great info! I'll give it a shot on mine. That SOB is annoying as h#$$. They could have gone just a bit more overboard and hooked it to the horn. I can tell you first hand that tinkering with the buckle switches will get you a air bag light and a B1650 PPS malfuntion code LOL!

Re: (engineertwin2)

It's most noticeable to me @ 70/75 It will do it with the cruise off also. Might try to get a couple snapshots on the Tech 2 (again) and see if something shows odd. Been this road already though. The only wrenching this vehicle has had on it is a valve lash check @ 50k Been a good ride

Re: How to change the engine coolant? (damronjr)

If you want to get it all there is a draincock on the rear of the block on the drivers side (at least on the GT's) The block hold about as much as the radiator.

Re: Solstice comment (jeffgtx)

Yeah they are a cool looking little (removed). Its a shame GM gets something that sells well and can't get them to the dealers. Most of our customers have been waiting up to 11 months so none of them are allowed to be test driven by anyone but the buyer. We have delivered prolly around eight. If you...

Re: water pump leaking (Emerica13)

Better check it closely. Maybe they had the radiator cap off and made a mess. I have never seen a water pump failure on a Vibe come through our service dept yetOh 53k on my 04

Re: (Blue Goose)

Goose if your sure the noise is under the hood you might take a look at the belt tensioner before you dig into the engine. I have seen a couple that have made a metallic fluttering sound on takeoff or a throttle snap. NOW for all you dealer bashers... A few of us DO know a couple things about the ca...
