Replying to: urldrivingacar (Aug 17, 2006 6:55 pm) Honestly I think that Chevy should replace EVERY BCM module in all Impala vehicles for NO charge. They know there is a problem with them but of course they will graceously charge you for their mistakes. Keith

Replying to: brkimpalainatl (Aug 21, 2006 12:55 pm) Not a big deal, but it's a therm"O"stat. More importantly, are you sure it's working fine in warm months? The engine should warm up FAST, like 5 minutes of driving, and then level off at the correct normal temperature (around 195 depending on your engine). Are you sure it's not stuck open and warming up too slowly, which you would have trouble noticing in warm weather? Regardless - I think you're on the right track with the thermostat. Make sure all air is bled from the cooling system after a thermostat replacement. Brian |

Hello everyone: I have waxed my Impala many times over the years and it looks great but if I get wax on those dark plastic door moldings it is a pain to get off. The best solution I have found is using powdered cleanser to scrub off the wax, being careful not to scratch the paint. Does anyone have an easier solution?

Replying to: lostwrench (Sep 01, 2006 4:14 pm) Overall, it's a snap to use. I have retired my orbital polisher.

Replying to: lostwrench (Sep 01, 2006 4:14 pm)  ) to remove wax buildup from the black moulding. I've never tried it, but I had a co-worker with a Saab that had exterior black door handles that turned white; I suggested she try peanut butter, and she said it actually worked better than anything else she'd tried.

Replying to: lostwrench (Sep 01, 2006 4:14 pm)  JK - when I was a young first learning driver, I thought I would do my Grandma a favor by washing and waxing her Lincoln Towncar after she let me borrow it for a date. I ended up getting wax all over the plastic trim and it forever stayed there - she neve said anything, but I am sure she noticed it. I would like to think that she was more grateful that I would be thougtful enought to try and return the vehicle in better condidtion that when I borrowed it in.

One of my best friends had a computer module go out on her 2005' Chevy Impala. From my understanding this computer module, due to it's not working has cut out her ABS, and traction control system. The dealer is charging her $800 total for the installation + part, and wanted to ask the edmunds experts if she is getting ripped off ? It just seemed a bit high to me. Thanks in advance, for y'alls help Rocky

I just got the 06 Impala. Very nice car. After it warms up, however, there is a steady tapping (very faint) that is noticable when it idles. I took in in for an oil change and asked them to look at it. They tell me it's the fuel injection ports making noise and is no big deal. The noise itself is not the big deal, but I want this car to last. Does this make sense? Thanks.
