Thanks,gonna try the fix myself by flipping the little gear over.

Not sure what to call it,but i've got a 2004 vibe,and the other day we started it up and it had a loud heavy clicking noise behind the glove box.I pulled the glove box out,and it was the little arm that opens and closes the recirculation flap on the fan,it kept "clicking" or slipping,and w...

I got a 2004 vibe base model with a auto transmission,and when we got it, it had 130K on it,its now got 160K on it and still runs like a top and the transmission shifts fine,but who knows when the last time it was changed.I've changed transmission filters before,just curious if there is anything spe...

Its kinda hard to explain the noise,it almost reminds you of a lifter pecking real hard,is there anyway to tell if the tensioner piston is bad by looking at it or feeling it? Its a 2004 BTW

My Vibe has been making a odd noise here lately and it seems to be getting louder,so I have narrowed it down to one of the pulleys,First thought it was the timing chain,but took the belt off the car and started it and it didn't make the noise,so that told me it is one of the pulleys.SO I went with c...

What do you guys think it would cost to have the dealership change the timing chain?? I probably could do it,but really ain't got the time right now.

First off I have a 2004 base model Vibe with the 1.8L engine with 157K on it,it runs great and doesn't use any oil.I recently notcied that the engine is making a odd noise while running. First I thought it was a lifter pecking,but upon futher inspection it sounds like the timing chain may be loose a...

Thanks for the comments guys,gives me some peace of mind..I'll let it go,and if it gets worse I'll take it in to have it checked out...We are getting ready to take it on a 6600 mile round trip in 2 weeks...So im a little nervous,but it does run like a top and has never missed a beat since we got it ...

It doesn't do it everytime..It usually only does it the first time you start it for the day..But yesterday it did it after only sitting for about 5 hours. It doesn't keep going,the chatter usually stops in a matter of 1 sec or 2.

We have a 2004 vibe,and sometimes when you start it up,the top part of the engine chatters for a split second like there is no oil getting to it,or it has a weak oil pump or something..It doesnt' do this everytime,just every now and then..Soundsl ike the valves or something..Any idea what could caus...

Wasn't sure where to put those,hope I put it in the right forum.Anyway,We have an 04 Pontiac vibe with the base 1.4l engine,auto transmission and took it on a 300 mile round trip just to see how it would do and what kind of MPG it is getting..It was advertised to geet 36 MPG..But our findings came u...

I had no idea oil was like that..but it does make sense, so all oils with a 30 will perform the same at operating temperture,its just a difference when you first start it up at how thick it is? This is definatly interesting. Think i'll stay with the 5w30 then.Thanks for the info guys.

Our 04 pontiac vibe calls for 5w-30 oil but it also says that 10w30 is acceptable if the temperature isn't going to dip below 32degrees farenhieght..So My question is,would it be okay to run 10w30 in it in the spring and summer (warm) months and then switche back to 5w30 in the colder winter months?...

We have just had our 04 Vibe for about 3 months and when we got it,we didn't check the AC,it was 20 degrees out..LOL But we turned it on and noticed that it isn't very cool..When you turn the AC button on,the compressor (ac unit) clutch kicks on,but it just doesn't get real cool..Im thinking it need...

I just ran back out and check the oil cap,it says 5w-30

We got our first Pontiac Vibe last month,a 2004 model with the 1.8L engine that holds 3.9qts of oil..Love the little car so far..Gets awesome gas mileage..Question is, will putting 4qts in it hurt it? Because I went over while changing it and put 4qts in it.I was trying to watch it,but it went over ...
