    Cobalt LS/LT/LTZ Info

    I have a 5 speed and notice the car being a bit "Doggy" til I hit around 2500 RPM's. Then it feels like someone kicked it in the tail and really goes. And if you have an automatic, you CAN shift it through the gears to tach it up. There is just no clutch to deal with and if you shift through the...

    Getting a Cobalt

    I have a XFE SS ? Nah. The fuel mileage is not as good and I have read they want you to burn High Test in it. I really like my XFE but it has 2 Quirks. I can't make the drivers side wiper stop hopping across the windshield. And the negative battery terminal , being copper, corrodes...

    Gas mileage drop

    90,000.....supposedly, platinum plugs only go about 100,000 miles, so I would start there. Replace the wires too as they dry out and become porous. Air Filter, and air in tires. Gas filter ? I have a 2009 and as I couldn't find one called the Dealer to find out there is NOT one on it, but just a...

    Brand new 10 XFE cobalt manual clutch is noisy

    I believe it's probably a plastic bushing in the pedal. Plastic changes with weather temp, so sometimes it will squeak, sometimes it won't. And you're right. it IS annoying.

    Folding Seats If you open the trunk, looking at the deck under the back window, you will see two square little knobs attached to cables. Pull them. One for each seat.

    Noise Issue

    Hi, In the Summer when the air is hot , there is less oxygen in the air, so your car may be a little sluggish. When it is cool at night, you may notice it runs like crazy. It is getting more oxygen. This is true of all machinery, not just your car. This being the case, when your a/c is on your...

    Question on Wheels for the Cobalt

    Just be carefull. Keep in mind,when you change the diameter size of the wheels it changes the calibration on the speedometer. Cost me a ticket,so I had it put on a dynomometer so I could see how far I was off.

    2008 Chevy Cobalt sounds loud

    Try taking it to a mechanic just to put it on a lift. It's amazing how much more you can see with it up in the air

    Cobalt tail light plastic covers.

    Actually, if you dig deep enough on line, you can buy the same parts the dealer will sell you, except a lot cheaper. I think you have to print in Cobalt parts and it will take you there. Dealers are like waaaayyyyy expensive. Ugh! hehe

    2010 Cobalt - Oil Change

    An answer I started doing it by the computer and didn't like what I saw. Oil was breaking down after so many miles. I went back to doing it every 3000 miles or every 4 months. This is good anyway,because it kind of gives you an excuse to look at other things as well, like tire pressure, your...

    Cobalt LT brake rotor problems

    On GM vehicles,they are required to used so much recycled steel. Since it rusts so quickly on body parts,they now use recycled steel on replaceable parts. On the rotors,they get a ridge on the outside causing vibration and noise, making you think the brakes are shot. Remedy? Can't remember...

    Studders

    When accelerating Cobalt kind of studders. Almost like there is air in the line. Added injection cleaner , so I know it's clean. Maybe I am expecting too much from a 4 cylinder?
