    Transmission fluid change....is it too late?

    It’s kinda an old wives tale. Usually it’s never too late. Depends on how hard the car was driven too. Sometimes old fluid is better than new fluid as things wear out and yes their are cases of bad transmissions running fine on old fluid and then the minute it’s changed problems. It’s rare...

    P0410 error

    Your car doesn’t have a secondary injection pump. Check IM Readiness on your code reader it’ll say NA not available. That’s why you can’t find it. O2 sensor or vaccum leak etc. The codes right the diagnosis is wrong. No secondary injection pump on this car. That’s not your problem. Generic...

    Does anybody make an aftermarket stock turbo?

    One thing the Sonic does well is handling. But it’s no where near where it should be. You can do some cheap upgrades for that. Take exit ramps like no Tommorrow. Lol. Make it a fun little daily

    Does anybody make an aftermarket stock turbo?

    Sadly tho these cars have a really cheap and primitive turbo set up. The turbo dosent do a whole lot. Luckily it’s a little extra pick up on the high way and cheap to replace. I can barely tell when I hit boost in the Chevy Sonic. In the Mini Cooper S or M235i lol you knew cuz you were gone...

    Tunes...

    LMAO. This is hilarious. Okay personally I’d try ZZP. They have built the worlds fastest Sonic. But it takes major money to get one there and many re-tunes. The trifecta tune didn’t work out so hot for a Canadian on YouTube. All these guys have ways to manipulate things. I talked to one of the...

    HP Tuners Controller Unlocker timed out - car is dead

    ECU just died. Check some fuses tho. Many times the OBD2 is on one. Those two codes and a flash. Don’t go together well. These cars have very primitive ECUs. The data transfer is laughable. But that’s every car. I have had the dealer work on my BMW and fry a few grand worth of **** while they...

    DIY Engine Temp Gauge

    This is a great idea!!! Only issue. We need a better overheat light as well or display. These fucking cars run hotter than ****. 220 Fahrenheit is not hard to achieve. Lol your overheating pretty damn fast by the time stock light triggers.

    h11 bulbs in fog lights?

    RS has black Bow Ties stock. You can replace the emblems. It is a factory option. SeaLight makes good LEDs. I have done all bulbs Headlights both high and low and fogs and reverse lights. Signals I won’t do due to a resistor requirement that’ll get hot. Brake Ligjts I had bad luck with LEDs...

    Sooooooo -- last month I installed a new --

    Yeah doubt your getting that back. You could do like an ultra gauge. I think they have an Ambient Air Temp reading. That temp display on factory radio was specifically for the mylink set up (Windows CE). The sensor is still their and your engine is reading it actively but theirs no way to get...

    P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire

    Visible arcing on Coil Pack from #2 cylinder. Take a guess what I did. JB WELD!!!! LMAO. Cars under warranty! But I don’t got time for that ****. I’m like the packs $90 bucks let’s see how long this lasts. Worst case I’m paying $90 bucks. Ive done something like this before. JB Weld never...

    Bad horn

    I’d trace the wires to the horn. You mention water damage. It’s possible fuse or relay or bad clock spring/pressure switch in steering wheel. But after a flood drive. Could be a bad ground. If she had to park in somebody’s driveway to avoid additional water. Trace the wires make sure their...

    Brake lights keep blowing

    You probably had a bad connection somewhere. Always go bigger gauge if you can. Cars are finicky when it comes to electrical. I’d also do the big 4 upgrade from ZZP if you haven’t done it. $40 bucks and it’s useful stock but almost a must on a car with a system. I burned an alternator and a ton...

    LED UPGRADE 2017+

    Let me know how it works out. I have been happy with the SeaLight brand. I started with the Highs and Lows. Just did the whole car. Leaving blinkers stock. Unless you can recode the BCM I’m not a fan of using resistors to cheat the hyperflash. Plus you loose the warning when one does fail. I’ll...

    HELP!!

    Try to buy the metal sway bar links when they fail. ZZP sells them. Dorman I think their metal factory. Plastic Chevy part, too me that was a stupid move and they cost more. Take car back and bitch. Lol. Could be a CV Joint or something else also etc. Or even a bad a alignment. Sometimes you can...

    LED UPGRADE 2017+

    Okay we are going to be good friends on this forum 🤣. I been wondering what the projector looked like. This also goes to show the issue with projectors designed for Halogen bulbs etc. Most cars with a projector will gladly accept a LED or HID. HID is usually better for projectors. LEDs can be...

    LED UPGRADE 2017+

    Yes it’s a tiny patch. And honestly it’s been on my to do list. I don’t think it’s scattering that much light it’s really dim. But you are correct. Tiny tiny patch above cut off line. What was your answer????? I honestly thought Chevy put a weird projector in it to create that. Been happy with...

    LED UPGRADE 2017+

    Well guys I want to say I have a 2019 Chevy Sonic RS. And the first thing I did aside from maintenance etc was upgrade the bulbs. SeaLight is the brand I chose to clean up the look. Also since we have the DRL running lights stock and LED front side markers. The upgrade really pulled the look...
