    Overheated now it won't start

    I have a 2012 LTZ 1.4t that was leaking from the thermostat housing. Turns out that part of the housing around the gasket was melted. So I replaced it with an aftermarket unit from O'Reilly. After reconnecting everything I noticed it was leaking slightly from where the hose connects on to the...

    TPMS light issue

    My TPMS light won't turn off. All my tires are at 38 psi. I've checked them with two different gauges. Any ideas? Is the sensor possibly bad?

    CV/Bearing

    So here's what's going on. I have a loud humming/whining noise coming from the front right side. It doesn't really sound like the typical whining I associate with a wheel bearing. I also am getting a thumping noise when turning as if I was driving on a rumble strip. I guess it could be a wheel...

    Oil line recall/tsb

    So last week I blew the oil line that runs from the turbo to the bottom of the oil filter. I was told that there is a recall on this line for the 2012. I never received any notification and other Sonic owners I've spoke to weren't aware of it either. So I thought I would give everyone a heads...

    Renewed Interest

    Well to be honest, I've been really down on the Sonic. I even shopped it around a bit and had someone given me a good deal, it would have been gone. Between the recalls and lack of power, I was all set. However, after weighing my options, I decided to hang on a bit longer. Maybe do a tune and...

    Just not enough

    I've had my 1.4T for almost 2 years now and it's just not "fun" enough. I've thought about doing a tune and a few other performance mods, but I feel like by the time I drop enough cash to get it where I want it, I mine as well just get a more performance oriented car. I know it's the age old...
