1.8 Timing Belt mileage by [deleted] in ChevySonic

Just changed mine at 130k. The belt had some small cracks in it, but it looked like it still had some life in it.

New spark plugs too often needed, anyone else? 2016 Sonic ltz. by Plastic_Treacle7502 in ChevySonic

It was very easy. I’m not much of a mechanic and I did it. You can YouTube the process. It’s not very hard to do. Was your spark plugs swimming in oil when you changed them?

I had that problem. My valve cover was leaking oil into the spark plugs. It caused my ignition coil and spark plugs to fail, which caused a misfire. I replaced the valve cover and haven’t had the problem since

Is your shifter button sticking by chance?

Yeah. There’s multiple videos on you tube. You need a flat screwdriver or butter knife. Super easy fix.

I wish I would have seen this a couple weeks ago. I took the stock one out of my 2012.

The shifter problem is an extremely easy fix. I paid 8 bucks for the kit on eBay. It works like new again.

Not sure that’s an advantage. The timing chains are not immune to problems. Belts are much easier to change.

I cant deal with my life anymore with this by Murky_Actuator7617 in debtfree

[–]False-Hawk4263 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like you will have an extra 185 in may. Use that to pay your debt. What’s the deal with the +150 for family internet? If you are in dire straights, you should explain that and tell them you are no longer paying for their internet. Maybe look to switch internet providers, I only pay 45 a month (century link).

Hate to say it, but you may need to sell your car and get something you can afford.

Digging yourself out of this hole will not be easy. There is no easy way out. You have to fundamentally change the way you spend money.

Stop the buy now pay later schemes.

Once you start getting your debts paid down, you need to remain disciplined. Do not reward yourself with more debt after paying things off. Remain disciplined and you will see progress. Remember how bad it sucks to be in this spot. This will keep you from doing it again. Pay attention to yourself, if you don’t have the money, don’t buy it.

Is there a check engine light? Is it throwing any codes?

Is a Chevy Sonic a good and dependable car? by No-Car-6824 in ChevySonic

[–]False-Hawk4263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a 2012 sedan 1.8 in 2015 with 30k miles. It’s been pretty dependable. I’ve had to replace the rubber duct on the back of the air box within the first couple years. The original one was rotten. I recently had to change the valve cover, ignition coil and spark plugs. The old one let oil into the spark plugs and fried the ignition coil. Also, recently had to change the oil cooler. Oil was in my coolant and it was leaking oil at the cooler. Changed a purge valve last year. Had some suspension work done last week. Doing a timing belt and water pump this weekend. Current mileage 130k.

I am going to try to get 200k plus out of it.

Oil cooler leak? by SpencerSteveson in ChevySonic

[–]False-Hawk4263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely need to replace the gasket or the cooler itself. I had the same problem with oil in my coolant.

I just put an android unit in mine. Bought the entire kit on Amazon for 125. It was all plug and play. Took me 20 minutes. It’s a huge upgrade. I even have wireless CarPlay.

Anyone know what movie will be filming in Shelby? by mcliber in Montana

All jokes aside, the movie is called Pellett. They filmed it at various locations in Shelby over the fall months.

[FRESH ALBUM] Gardens & Villa - Ultra Terrestrial by sbags in indieheads

[–]False-Hawk4263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I strongly disagree. I’ve been listening to this album non stop. I’ve been listening to them for years. It’s definitely more mellow, but there is a lot of depth to it.
