#1427 of 1578 Re: Aveo 2007 Oil leak got worse [grace4ever] by ilaveo Nov 18, 2007 (4:01 pm)
Replying to: grace4ever (Nov 08, 2007 7:56 am) Changing a fairly new car over to synthetics is unlikely to cause trouble. Over time the seals and such supposedly get conditioned to regular dino oil and its additives, so you might have issues with leaks if you switched oils on an older engine. They claim to have worked out the compatiblility problems, so it isn't supposed to be a problem then either. If you like the other properties of synthetic oil enough to pay the extra $$$, I say go for it, Replies to this message: c118fe (Nov 19, 2007 5:09 am) ilaveo (Nov 19, 2007 9:33 pm)

Replying to: ilaveo (Nov 18, 2007 4:01 pm) Would you consider 17,050 a new engine? I had a V10 dodge P.U. that I switched 75,000 and no problems,reached 142,000. Replies to this message: ilaveo (Nov 19, 2007 9:33 pm)

Replying to: c118fe (Nov 19, 2007 5:09 am) I would consider 17K pretty new. The numbers I've seen thrown around are 50K and 100k for the end of engine newness. YMMV

Replying to: flaaveo (Nov 07, 2007 1:38 pm) The repetitive occurring fog /film on the inside of your windshield and other glass areas could be caused by a petroleum coating used by some plastic/vinyl manufacturers on their seating, dashboards, door panels. The petroleum coating heats in the sunlight or by using the heater/defroster and becomes gaseous. The gas floats around the interior of the vehicle and attaches to glass....and an interior film is seen.   The FIX: You need a good,oil cutting liquid cleaner. A cleaner, not a petroleum based solvent. Wipe down with the cleaner and rinse with clean water every piece of interior plastic and vinyl which includes the door panels, console, seats, vinyl headliner, dash...everything plastic and vinyl. Leave the doors and hatch open to dry. More than one cleaning may be necessary.                                                                     ..and drive like your life depends on it.   The Wheelman Replies to this message: c118fe (Nov 26, 2007 11:38 am) wheelman (Dec 19, 2007 4:15 am)

Replying to: wheelman (Nov 26, 2007 10:52 am) I thought it might have been anti-freeze from heater being it only happens in cold weather and I've added 2 pints of AF in 7000 mi.No evident leak. Replies to this message: wheelman (Dec 19, 2007 4:15 am)

Replying to: poncho167 (Nov 08, 2007 3:26 pm) I use castrol's fully synthetic oil in my 05 aveo. I've been doing that since it had 6,000 miles on it. It now has 18,000. I have had no problems with it.
#1433 of 1578 Air Bag System by rlbellinger Dec 11, 2007 (8:43 am)
2007 Chevrolet Aveo passenger airbag light stays on when my wife who weights about 130 lbs. I have had the auto into the dealership 7 times sence I purchesed it in Feb 2007 to repair this problem. They claim that they have contacted GM about this problem, but not come up with a fix for it. I called GM customer relations about this problem. They are no help eather. They claim they replaced every thing connected with the air bag system, but it still don't work. My wife will not ride in the car the way it is, so I have a car that I can't take my wife with me when I go any place. I would not purchase another GM product because of this, their customer service is not good. Replies to this message: poncho167 (Dec 12, 2007 5:05 am)

Replying to: c118fe (Nov 26, 2007 11:38 am) Film or fog clinging to the interior glass may be caused be leaking anti freeze, but I doubt it. BIG PROBLEM IN THE MAKING: Your climate system (radiator, air conditioner, heater, condenser, and associated tubing ) is a closed, sealed and pressurized system and you should not be losing any fluid at all. You may a small leak which drips fluid onto a hot engine or exhaust pipe and then evaporates. Recommend you take the vehicle to a Chevrolet dealer, tell the Service Manager you are losing antifreeze and request that a technician do a pressure test on the heating/cooling system.   The WheelMan   PS. Pets love the taste of antifreeze, unfortunately antifreeze will kill your pets.   T W
