Aveo 09

[Halie]

I have an 09 Chevy aveo, LT 1.6 engine, not a hatchback, timing belt broke while driving... want to know of any interchangeable engines that could be swapped? been sitting 6 months, replaced the starter, timing belt, spending to much, head replacement is going to run 2k and im still paying for my car.. help?

I'm curious, how many miles were on the car?

Don't know about interchangeable engines, sorry.

Direct replacement years for your Aveo are 2009 to 2011. That's very rare for your year. It's recommended at 100,000 miles.

$2000 might be on the high side for cost.

It had 163*** when it quit on me, i was unaware that it needed that replaced when i purchased it

and yes its about a 2000$ repair... which is why i was asking about replacing the engine? does it have to be the same year same model ect? or will one work from other years?

as Poison Ivy said, you have only 3 Model years to choose from for a replacement engine: your model year of 2009, My Model year of 2010, and the 2011 Model year. your best bet is to go for 2010 or 2011 engines; they'll have less miles on them.
