Hi - new to the forum. I'm an experienced mechanic, at home with Fiats but have been looking after my sister's 2009 Aveo 1.4 LT for a few years now. Following an "incident" with a speed hump I have been rebuilding the driver's side front suspension. All OK except I have hit a dead end with the top mount cushion (the bit that goes under the body at the top of the strut. Mainstream suppliers give a flattish disc cushion like this (which also seems to be fitted to the 1.2): [ATTACH... Front suspension top mounts ..read more

My son's Aveo Instrument Cluster Lights suddenly stopped working last night. I have today checked all fuses & everything seems fine but the lights are still not working. I think it is both the dashboard instrument cluster (speedometer etc.) & centre console lights (fan, heater, A/C etc). Can anyone advise what else I can look at ..read more

Hi there, I am wondering if anyone has been having the same problem with their car as I am having... It has developed a problem starting up in the mornings. It feels like it is the distance between start ups that makes it worse or better... i.e. if I leave it overnight and try to start her up @ 9am it may take 20 seconds turning over before it actually starts and if I leave it till midday it can take over 30 seconds. Once it has started though, it will start perfectly throughout the day... T300 Aveo 1.3 Diesel startup problems ..read more

Hello everyone. I have a Chevrolet Aveo 2012. I have had issues with the car for the past three months. The car started shutting off when I stop at a traffic, then it became very difficult to start, and then it eventually stops starting. I changed the crankshaft sensor for that because it was defective as per the diagnostics done. After that, the same set of issues started after using the car for about a week. But this time, the issue is “Camshaft and Crankshaft correlation Sensor”. The... Car not starting ..read more

Just had the fuel tank replaced as it had a leak. When the breather pipe was refitted it split after the clip. Only found this out after I filled the tank to full and had nice pool of petrol under the car. Any suggestions in how to repair as tried to find a replacement with no luck.
