11/4/2011 Spoon SportsOn a 2008 G8? A leak? Looks like Pontiac didn't get their Sh** together. Could be from the tubes going into the radiator, i mean all the other things to check are for old cars and i dont think those are applicable to you. Dont you still have warranty on that thing? Its barely 3 years old

Should I flush the transmission at 36,000 miles when manual calls fo 60,000 w/ extreme conditions?tess - 2008 Pontiac Vibe - Preventive Maintenance - 10/19/2011No signs of a problem.
-
10/19/2011 CamarozenI would stick to what the manual calls for unless the fluid looks or smells contaminated. It will turn brown or have a burnt odor when these conditions occur.
10/19/2011 tessNo odor, but doesn't look the best. Dip stick left combination of red w/ some black/brown. Manual actually says that, other than extreme conditions, fluid never needs changing. That seems odd to me.

Note: i would recommended to schedule to change the plastic Tee flush every 5 years to 7 years ?. It will crack in the long run.I wish Prestone could make it out of aluminum Tee flush.

10/7/2011 jdlOn left side of firewall bracket, near wiper motor.
10/7/2011 mike hillThanks I have been looking behind the dash. It is right behind the brake booster on the fire wall
10/7/2011 mike hillother than the actuator what else could be wrong with the lights. They come on but will not raise the motors are new and the switch is good. My girlfriend wrecked the car and the motors were crushed. I replaced the motors and all fuses are good and the wiring harness diagram show nothing else in the system. Are there relays that go with it also, if so where are they?
