The 2009 Pontiac Vibe is equipped with a timing chain, not a timing belt. Timing chains are generally more durable and do not require regular replacement like timing belts do. This design helps reduce maintenance costs over the vehicle's lifespan.

Changing the timing strap on a 2004 Pontiac vibe?

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.

How do you replace serpentine belt on 2009 Pontiac vibe. Where is the tension release?

To replace the serpentine belt on a 2009 Pontiac Vibe, first, locate the serpentine belt routing diagram, usually found on a sticker in the engine compartment. Use a ratchet or a wrench to rotate the tensioner pulley counterclockwise to relieve tension on the belt, allowing you to slip it off. Remove the old belt and install the new one, following the routing diagram. Finally, release the tensioner to secure the new belt in place.
