#1496 of 1578 Re: Daewoo engine Lanos thermostat timing belt [carnut32] by flaaveo Sep 18, 2008 (6:37 pm)
Replying to: carnut32 (Sep 18, 2008 9:53 am) How old is your Aveo? Or how many miles do you have on it...that you have had to replace the thermostat already? I often read in older post...that people replace their water pump at the same time they replace the timing belt, to save money and once the engine is 'opened' to replace the belt,...it is easier to replace the water pump at the same time, and it saves a lot of money I am told,...at the mileage that the manual says to replace the belt. Did you do that to already?
#1497 of 1578 The Other Aveo by andy_h Sep 22, 2008 (9:40 am)
Well, the other Aveo version oversea, will be the Pontiac G3. It does have a cheesy smiley face. The Aveo face is better and is more aggressive. Replies to this message: poncho167 (Sep 24, 2008 3:27 pm)

Replying to: andy_h (Sep 22, 2008 9:40 am) That G3 will likely be in Pontiac dealers next year from what I have read. It only makes sense in helping bring that divisions mileage up and it wouldn't cost them that much more when they import it.
#1499 of 1578 Sicilian Aveo Trip by mbtomg Sep 27, 2008 (7:17 pm)
Surprised to find an Aveo forum!! There are VERY few of them here in Georgia, at least outside Atlanta. But I just got back from a visit home with my wife for several weeks, to Palermo, Sicily. A friend of mine from Virgina whose job means he LIVES on planes used miles to come over for a week, and we borrowed my father-in-law's 2007 hatch Aveo (called a Chevrolet Kalos in '07, they kept the old Daewoo name until this year) for a 4 day trip around the whole island. It is a 1.2 liter GPL model, uses compressed gas! Switches back and forth to gasoline while driving with a little switch, and the tank fits in the spare well, which means the spare is in a cover, taking up (scarce) luggage space. But GPL is 1/2 the cost of gasoline (they call gas benzina) and the milage is about the same. We ran in the 70-80 mph (interstate speed limit is 130 kph, about 83 mph) range, and the car did a great job. We didn't find too much noise, and there is constant strong wind on the central rolling plains of Sicily. I drive a Towncar 350+ miles round trip to consulting job each week, and don't think I'd want one here because passing on Georgia 2-lane hiways would be hairy. (I don't drive the Towncar in town - ironic - have an old 240D Merc for that which gets 27 mpg in town). And for all you guys talking about small cars, the Aveo is my parents-in-law's BIG Chevrolet! Their other car is a Chevrolet Matiz - actually more fun than the Aveo, but not a highway car really . If anyone is interested, you can probably google it and find Chevy in Italy with pics and so on, though might be in Italian you know.
#1500 of 1578 Check Engine Light Issue by junymom Oct 01, 2008 (9:23 am)
Hi there: has anyone else had issues with their check engine light coming on again and again and again? I purchased my 2008 Aveo 5 2 weeks ago. I left the dealership and on my way home the CE light came on. I read the manual and followed the emission suggestions (check the gas cap, better gas, weight distribution, etc.) to no avail. I took the car in and they told me that there was excess carbon in the muffler so they cleaned it and the car is fine now. So yesterday, just 1 week after receiving my car back from the dealer, on came the CE light again. Its at the dealership now (again). Anyone else experience this? Thanks!

Replying to: junymom (Oct 01, 2008 9:23 am) Sounds like it could be the exhaust oxygen sensor. See the other most recent engine problem posts/ Replies to this message: junymom (Oct 02, 2008 3:24 pm)

Replying to: poncho167 (Oct 02, 2008 3:16 pm) Actually, it seems that the intake manifold was improperly built at the factory preventing the entire emissions system from properly working. Chevy is replacing the intake manifold as well as the EGR valve so the problem should go away completely. Thanks for the help though!
