Wow, nice Aveo with LOW miles!
Make sure the timing belt has been changed along with the tensioner!
fortunately, the timing belt was just changed. I've made a few posts so far, some about that.
how do you know when to change the timing belts on these cars anyway? it seems like a poor design by chevy for it to cause so much damage if one breaks.
no guarantees with timing chains either but they seem a better design choice. I know they would cause damage when they go, but, I thought the timing belt was supposed to be a "break and fix" alternative vs chains.
RR.
Well, many cars have interference engines and timing belts. So, if the belt breaks the engine is damaged. The Aveo just seems to have a short change interval vs other makes. I'd just make sure to do it before 60k and you're good. Make sure to replace the belt and tensioner because we've had a few of those fail too.
