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.

Is the Pontiac vibe 1.8 liter engine an interference engine?
Yes, the 1.8-liter engine found in the Pontiac Vibe is considered an interference engine. This means that if the timing belt or chain fails, the pistons can collide with the valves, potentially causing significant engine damage. It's important to maintain the timing components to prevent such failures. Regular inspections and timely replacements are crucial for engine longevity.

How do you change the serpentine belt on a 2007 Pontiac vibe?
There is a big difference between a TIMING BELT OR CHAIN and a MULTIFUNCTION SERPENTINE ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT. The Timing Belt or Timing Chain is inside the engine and cannot be seen. Some cars have a rubber belt (many Japanese vehicles) that has a limited life, such as around 60,000 to 80,000 miles. It takes 2 -3 hours or more to change it because many parts have to be removed, sometimes the radiator. If it breaks, in some cars, one of the pistons will hit one of the valves and bend it, and this type of engine is called a "valve bender". Fixing a bend valve is very expensive. Many cars have a steel timing chain (many USA vehicles such as Chevy, Pontiac, and others). The steel chain is good for the life of the engine. They usually don't break, maybe 1 in 500,000 vehicles. God bless America and vehicles that are MADE IN USA.
