The Pontiac Vibes (all models to date) do not use a timing belt, but are equipped with a long lasting timing chain.
I've been informed it has a timing chain, not belt, and therefore does not need to be replaced.
No, timing chain doesn't need replacing.
I need diagram on changing the timing chain
NO......
not for changing the belt. however you will need it for the ignition timing once you have replaced the timing belt
there is a timing chain on the car no belt.
Timing chain is usually replaced at 200K.
I have a 2003 Element and just found out recently from a Honda shop that It has a timing chain that does not need changing.
The timing belt should be changed every 90,000 miles.
You do not need to, but it's highly recommended.
Never, it will last the life of the engine.
According to the owners manual, 2005 Passat TDI timing belt needs changing on the 100,000 mile service.
