#126 of 158 Re: Honk if you love remote keylocks [mywreck] by wtd44 Jun 17, 2008 (6:09 pm)
Replying to: mywreck (Jun 17, 2008 12:36 pm) The honking can be slightly startling, but it has a value for reassurance of locking, and also in locating the car. In addition, some game-playing for amusement... Replies to this message: morristrm (Jun 18, 2008 11:40 am) wtd44 (Jun 19, 2008 8:16 pm) kasjun (Jun 28, 2008 3:12 pm)

Replying to: zzsignup (Jun 10, 2008 11:04 pm) "I could be mistaken, but I seem to recall the very first oil change should be around 3000 due to engine break-in."   - My manual does indeed say every 5000 miles for an '08.   I will make the 1st oil change at 5000 miles, after that I'll do evey 7000 miles.   Take care.

Replying to: wtd44 (Jun 19, 2008 8:16 pm) although i prefer the locking to be silent many vehicles have the option of either silent or horn sounding. it can't be too hard to include that. on another note i would like to let anyone out there interested in the chrome clad 17 inch wheels to know they are actually not chrome but only a plastic wrapped wheel that chips easily. our vibe started peeling off after only 1500 miles and pontiac will do nothing about it. just thought i would warn anyone interested in those wheels. i don't know how they figure these are worth 650 dollars extra for plastic.
#131 of 158 Tiny paint pits on the spoiler by smokiescat Jun 28, 2008 (6:55 pm)
At less than 4,000 miles and none of it on what one would call a rugged road, I have pinholes on the front spoiler (air dam). At first, I thought the pits were bugs. Upon close inspection, they are irregularly shaped specks of silver ("liquid platinum"?) paint, each with a small hinge to reveal the black elastomeric spoiler. The coating should be more resilient. I still love my Vibe GT but am disappointed.
#132 of 158 2009 vibe 2.4 oil capacity by rob52 Jul 09, 2008 (5:00 pm)
I CHANGED MY OIL ON A 2.4 ENGINE AND THE DIPSTICK READS FULL AT 4 QUARTS. THE 2009 VIBE MANUAL STATES THE ENGINE IS FULL AT 4.5 QUARTS. HAS ANYONE RUN INTO A SIMILIAR SITUATION? I READ ABOUT 2000 TOYOTA TRUCKS BEING SENT FROM THE FACTORY WITH THE WRONG DIPSTICK AND HAD TO BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA. Replies to this message: wtd44 (Jul 10, 2008 8:29 am)

Replying to: rob52 (Jul 09, 2008 5:00 pm) Did you change the oil filter as well? Whether you did or didn't could make a difference in the oil required to reach the mark on the dipstick. I haven't changed the oil and filter yet on my 2009 Vibe AWD, so I don't have a pat answer.
#134 of 158 Automatic trans by bones8 Jul 10, 2008 (12:39 pm)
Pontiac refers to the Vibe auto trans option as; 5 speed automatic with Driver Shift Control. What does Driver Shift Conrol mean. How is it different from the automatics I have driving? thanks Replies to this message: bikerscum (Jul 10, 2008 4:30 pm) bones8 (Jul 12, 2008 10:48 am)
#135 of 158 Re: Automatic trans [bones8] by bikerscum Jul 10, 2008 (4:30 pm)
Replying to: bones8 (Jul 10, 2008 12:39 pm) The shifter is electronic. Pull it down into drive & it shifts as normal. Move the shifter to the left from there & it becomes a tap shifter... bump it forward to upshift, backward to downshift. It does not give you full manual control.... you can force a downshift, but not an upshift if the trans would not shift into that gear at that speed. In other words, you can't tap it forward 4 times & start out in fifth. Replies to this message: bones8 (Jul 12, 2008 10:48 am)
