#1925 of 2171 timing belt or chain? by p100 Nov 13, 2007 (12:12 pm)
Do they use a timing belt or a chain on late model (07 and 08) 2,2 liter and 2.4 liter engines? Replies to this message: cmhj2000 (Nov 13, 2007 5:35 pm)

#1927 of 2171 Need help. by grosloup Nov 15, 2007 (4:25 pm)
I'm presently driving a 2005 chevrolet Equinox LT FWD. (s.u.v.) and thinking of trading it in for a 2008 Cobalt LT sport coupe. This is were I need help ... my friends are all telling me not to do it. They tell me that I have more protection in a Equinox and that it is safer to drive than the Cobalt and that the Equinox is more reliable than the Cobalt. What do you Cobalt owners think about what they are telling me. Is that possible? Up here we have lots of snow in winter time. That could be a factor ?

Replying to: grosloup (Nov 15, 2007 4:25 pm) the cobalt isn't a suv so itnot a direct comparison. my cobalt has front and side airbags and seatbelts. also cobalts are pretty tough cars. sa far as reliable i have one and another person i work with has won and neither of us have had any problems.

Replying to: grosloup (Nov 15, 2007 4:25 pm) Cobalts have 5-star frontal rating and last I saw were rated good in side impact as well along with the Corolla. The side inpact test I saw over a-year-ago had no car better.
#1930 of 2171 Reliability experience by nyguy1 Nov 21, 2007 (2:36 am)
I have a 2005 Base model Cobalt with no options as well as a 2007 LS with no options. The 2005 has 40K miles and the 2007 is at 10K. Both cars have never been back for any repairs. Gas, oil, and tires only. MPG is great, around 35-37 on the highway consistantly. Great cars, low price, who can ask for more?
#1931 of 2171 Socket Wrench for Ecotec Engines by alternator Dec 08, 2007 (7:21 pm)
For do-it-yourselfers, the GM Ecotec engine requires a low-profile 1 1/4 inch socket to remove the plastic cap on top of the built-in oil filter. This tool is not easy to find.   However, Amazon.com is presently selling the "Lisle 14700 Oil Filter Wrench for GM 2.2L" for $8.94 --- shipping is free if you buy something else that makes your order total over $25 (the something else can be anything you were probably going to buy anyway --- such as say a computer printer ink cartridge.)

Replying to: alternator (Dec 08, 2007 7:21 pm) You can get an Ecotec oil filter housing socket on eBay for under $10. I got a Lisle brand socket mailed to my door for $9. Very easy find at most any auto parts store as well.   Joel

Replying to: alternator (Dec 08, 2007 7:21 pm) Walked into my local CarQuest and walked out 5 min. later with the correct tool. Cost less than 10 bucks.
