I replaced the battery this summer. I bought a good one, but the best that Canadian Tire had. But not a particularly cold weather battery. I bought it in vancouver. Now it seems like the battery charge is fine. this afternoon I tried to jump it but that didn't change a thing.

Howdy all, So my family and our Vibe have made the move from warmer and wetter Vancouver to drier but much colder New Brunswick. And now I am having a bit of a cold weather conundrum. I can't get it to start in -5 and below. If but if I plug it in for even 60 seconds it seems to start fine. The thin...

LOL, I think that just solved my problem.

We saw a very minor improvment in MPG if any.. There really is more torque.. It is a bit more fun to drive... once you get used to shifting a lot more then with a five speed. After driving this around both my wife and I were wondering if we shouldn't match the engin to the tranny and spend 750 on th...

Keith's setup looks good... But according to cosmo racing the 05 base cai is different from the 03-04 base cai. Which makes me wonder if i wouldn't be in for a world of hurt if I went with the wrong one. Perhaps the engine bay is shaped differently?? Has anyone actually attached an 05-06 to an 03-04?

This might sound redneck.. but well I am a bit of a redneck so I come by this naturally... If I installed an SRI and then used a wind tunnel- like a dryer vent hose- to direct cool air up toward the ram from near the fog light then that would provide a direct flow of cold air and avoid the whole fea...

So I am looking at buying and installing a CAI in my 03 base vibe. Looks like fun. But I live in Vancouver BC.. A very rainy city which makes me wonder if it might be a bad idea to install a CAI. But the real question is where does the filter end up in the engine compartment? Do you need to remove t...

nope... that is a different vibe

Well the story is finished... I bought a used transmission we had it installed by a local transmission group. When they were finished they called me to tell me they had run into a bit of an issue.. Basically the wrecker had given me a 6 speed instead of a 5 speed. But it works fine in the car. So no...

Thanks for that... Good to know... Made it easy to find a used transmission. I am now crossing my fingers and hoping it is a good one...A few of the people I talked to seemed suprised that our car needed a new tranny. It has 160,000 Kilometers on it... What has been the average life of your transmis...

I guess I am looking for some advice... For the past month and a half our car has been making a funny noise when accelerating... At first I thought it was a few other issues... Sparks.. Airflow.. but after some research in the forums here I found a description that perfectly matched the symptoms of ...

This forum is a great resource!Only yesterday did my wife and I find our passenger side floor wet, and after one quick look at the forum I was able to go out quickly figure out the problem. Our AC is leaking on to the carpet instead of going out the drainage hole. But unlike most everyone else on th...

Well, my rear wiper is dead. When we try to use it it makes a ticking noise and nothing else.. No heat or anything like that, it just ticks and moves not. So I took a look at it and it doesn't look like a difficult repair, as long as I don't screw up the defroster. So I noticed a few other people ha...
