    White Smoke - Tailpipe

    Exact same thing happening to my fiancé's 2013. Same replacements, then big clouds, now just occasional puffs (I followed and watched). Not sure if it's sinister enough to worry about or not.

    Ever find out anything? Very similar thing happening to my fiancé's 2013.

    Valve cover bolt size

    I can confirm that this is a M6-1.0 x 45mm (possibly slightly longer, but works). I was able to get the broken piece out without drilling or helicoiling.

    Valve cover bolt size

    Add me to the list of people that snapped off one of the bolts during valve cover gasket replacement. I want to make sure I have a sound plan to fix the problem. I'm going to get a helicoil kit with the m6-1.0 thread (is this correct?) I have not been able to find the exact GM Bolt so I was...

    1.4t Camshaft cover bolt thread specs

    Edit: I have the 1.8 L non flex fuel engine, if that makes any difference. Add me to the list of people that snapped off one of the bolts during valve cover gasket replacement. I want to make sure I have a sound plan to fix the problem. I'm going to get a helicoil kit with the m6-1.0 thread...

    Sudden loss of power on acceleration and extremely rough idle

    I'm chasing the exact same thing in my fiance's 2013 Sonic. I have narrowed it down and I am pretty sure it is the coil packs. I changed them on my own Sonic a few weeks ago. It is literally a 20-minute job and very easy to do. I changed the spark plugs at the same time. Also very easy.

    O2 sensors?

    Old thread.... So there is no Bank 2, sensor 1, correct? I guess Bank 2 is for V configuration engines

    Switching to stock tune...

    I took the Trifecta tune out for a couple of years (I don't remember why, other than gas mileage went down a lot), and I'm wanting to try it again since I'm working a job that is less city driving, more highway. However, I can't remember how to load it into my Sonic. Got my cable, got my laptop...

    Front fender replacement

    Yes, I searched. But I can't find exactly what I want. I need to replace the front left headlight and turn signal assembly with all the plastics, due to a mild accident. Since I have to take the front bumper cover off, I might as well replace it and the fender as well since they were mildly...

    Switching to stock tune...

    I have 62,000 miles on my car and I'm warranted through 106,000. Should I switch it back to the stock tune when I take it to the dealer? Will I be able to do that easily? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    E85 FFV engine or not?

    I'm tired of looking and reading. I'm getting conflicting information anyway. I've got a 2014 Sonic LT with 1.8 auto. Since I've owned it (18 months, 40k miles), I've always assumed I had a non-FFV engine because the gas cap is black. So I was looking for struts, and was drilling down at...

    Where can I find some, and how long should I go?

    Thought that title might catch your eye. I've read the suspension threads until I'm blue in the face. I don't want fancy racing stuff, lowering, lifting, etc. I just want to (eventually, not sure when) replace my front struts, and return it to stock ride. Although I am considering a rear sway...

    Cargo weight capacity

    I am planning on putting a cargo carrier on my sedan, and it needs to be secure, weatherproof, and lockable. I have found this unit, which I like better than its Thule cousin, because it has a usable tray when removed: Rola Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" (Class II) Trailer Hitches Rola Hitch...

    Tracking on grooved concrete

    I have only had my Sonic for a couple of weeks and haven't driven it that much. I have another car to drive and I will be using it to tow behind RVs that I am delivering from manufacturer to dealers. One of the interstate that goes around Nashville is grooved concrete. The grooves are parallel...

    New from Nashville, Tennessee!

    Why can't I .....? Just kidding! I've gotten my 10 posts, and now awaiting full privileges. I just bought the 3rd Chevy in my lifetime: 1) 1979 Chevy Luv that was my grandfather's. Bought it when I was 16. Piece of junk but I wouldn't get rid of it. 2) 2006 Silverado CC 4x4. Had to sell it due...
