In a 2009 Pontiac Vibe : The 1.8 liter and the 2.4 liter four cylinder engines have a timing CHAIN Helpfull
The timing chain is designed to last the lifetime of the engine unlike the timing belt.
I've been informed it has a timing chain, not belt, and therefore does not need to be replaced.
It must be a timing CHAIN , the Gates website doesn't list a timing belt for it
The 1.8 liter four cylinder in a 2003 Pontiac Vibe has a timing CHAIN
The Pontiac Vibes (all models to date) do not use a timing belt, but are equipped with a long lasting timing chain.
Fasten your seat belt or live with it, it will stop after a few moments.
Where is the vsc button on a 2009 Pontiac Vibe car
This is a link to the serpentine belt routing diagram that worked for my '04 Pontiac Vibe. As far as I know, this is the routing for all Pontiac vibe base and GT models. http://forums.genvibe.com/zerofile/1436belt.jpg

By timing strap, I'm assuming that you mean the timing belt. The Pontaic Vibe uses the 1.8 liter engine also used in the Toyota Matrix and Toyota Corolla. This engine has an internal timing chain and does not require replacement. Keep the oil changed and drive that baby worry free regarding the timing chain.
The 2009 Vibe paint label is located in the glove box.
