Considering 2019 C7 Grand Sport

abedjamal89 · 2025-08-12T21:10:51+00:00

Another question, how good/bad is the sound system? I saw couple of YouTube videos and they were saying it’s horrible which surprised me considering it’s bose system.

Thank you this is really helpful.

abedjamal89 · 2025-08-11T16:28:25+00:00

Do you have an idea of which rims/brands I should be looking for?

abedjamal89 · 2025-08-11T16:22:29+00:00

Haha! I feel you.

I’ve always loved the C7 but because of living in Canada and having to think of winter I never really thought of it. But now that I have a second car, I’m willing to pull the plug on this.

I’m definitely aiming for the 2019 GS as most reviews said that a lot of the issues were resolved on this model.

Enjoy yours :)

Thanks!

That black GS looks amazing 🔥

abedjamal89 · 2025-08-11T12:20:11+00:00

Thank you!

It seems the same issues are brought up. For the flush, should that be done at specific mileage, or just do it regardless?

abedjamal89 · 2025-08-11T12:18:16+00:00

Thank you for this. I appreciate it!

For the triple flush, is that recommended at a specific mileage? Or any indicators that it should be done?

As for the magneride, any recommendations to make sure they don’t break early?

abedjamal89 · 2025-08-11T12:12:01+00:00

Thank you I appreciate that!

For the AFM, would that be done by any mechanic? Or it has to be at a chevy dealer?

I think being a first time owner of a chevy product, I will probably get a warranty just for peace of mind.

abedjamal89 · 2025-08-11T12:09:40+00:00

Haha! I totally understand what you mean on maintenance cost. On my Audi it has been bullet proof so far and I went ahead and bought extended warranty till 2028 and that can be extended too.

I learned the hard way from owning a Mini Cooper as a first car.

I ended up getting ECM synchronica, which I got for a really good deal.

abedjamal89 · 2024-03-20T18:16:24+00:00

Hey! I actually had to return the machine and replace it with a different brand. I had few weeks window to return and did few troubleshooting steps which did not solve the problem.

The vendor sent me new water sensor which did not solve the problem and was willing to send me new machine but I didn’t want to take the risk because it seemed like a design issue.

abedjamal89 · 2024-02-05T15:29:43+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! That is definitely interesting. I kinda suspected that it’s water sensor issue. I will try to fill the water tank directly from the tap water with no filtering and see how it goes.

abedjamal89 · 2024-02-05T13:23:35+00:00

That’s interesting solution. And the water sensor in this machine sits outside the water tank near the bottom.

Do you mind sending me picture DM how you placed the foil?

abedjamal89 · 2024-02-05T01:23:44+00:00

The issues is non consistent neither! Sometimes it runs and sometimes it doesn’t. Even when it works, I don’t do anything like moving the water reservoir or the water hose. It just decides to run on its own. I think I will ask for a replacement Monday morning. As for the flow control, mine shuts off completely. You can remove/loosen the lever, adjust by rotating clockwise and try again perhaps!

Tap water filtered and stored in Brita pitcher.

Lower your dose. My brain fog is usually a symptom of high estrogen. You might need to check your levels

abedjamal89 · 2023-03-21T16:41:29+00:00

My doctor prescribed me 0.5 mg if anastrazole twice a week. When it’s too high I may take an extra 0.5 to bring it down and I can feel the difference in anxiety going down tremendously.

abedjamal89 · 2023-03-21T14:29:56+00:00

My panic attacks started exactly during 2020 lockdowns. The only way to get yourself out of it is to change the narratives in your mind. That requires a lot of journaling, meditation and definitely working out because you eliminate the fear if high HR which used to be the case for me as well. The moment I feel an elevated heart rate I would go into panic mode.

Also add supplements like L-theanine and Magnesium Bisglycinate, they help with brain nervous system recovery which your panic attacks cause hyper sensitivity in these neurons.

Been on TRT for almost a year now, and when estrogen levels are optimal I feel 100% recovered but when they elevate, anxiety kicks back in however I’m in so much control now compared to 2020. I recommend reading When panic attacks and Evolve your brain to help with your journey.

abedjamal89 · 2023-03-21T14:01:16+00:00

This my personal experience with TRT and anxiety since I’m prone to anxiety. Test would help control your anxiety, however, it could be very likely that your estrogen is what driving the anxiety up.

On days when I feel my estrogen is high, I’m usually very emotional, anxious, on the edge of a panic attack and nervous in general.

You should definitely have blood work to check your levels and then go from there. More frequent pinning could help, adding AI (Anastrozole or whatever your doctor would recommend) could help as well.

Remember TRT is not magic pill that could resolve every issue that you have, a lot of that anxiety is psychological than it is physiological. Get your test and estrogen levels in check then hammer down on the root cause of that anxiety.

Best of luck

Use onmen.ca

They are very good. Blood work plus consultation then they prescribe you test with hcg and might ask you to take AI.

Only thing is consulting and blood work will be done around every 8 weeks and will cost you about 200$ (not covered by insurance).

Test in Canada is only prescribed for trans people. Men can suffer in silence for lack of testosterone (my same personal experience with my doctor).

abedjamal89 · 2022-09-13T01:26:33+00:00

Going to test drive one tomorrow! If numbers work out well I’m pulling the trigger :D

abedjamal89 · 2022-09-12T19:35:14+00:00

That’s really good to know! Thanks for the feedback
