  • ABS light sometimes stays on after starting at Nubira

    Hello all, I bought a new Chevrolet Nubira 1.6 SX last year. Since then the ABS light is sometimes on after starting. Was there already 3x at the dealer, the first time the wheel sensors were changed, but no improvement. The other two times it stayed at the shoulder twitch, he also does not know. A joke in my opinion. Does someone have similar problems here and can help me there? If this happens in 2 years at the Tüv, then I can probably get the car a tap. Thanks in advance !!!

  • Gearbox for Matiz Built 2009

    Hello, I have a Matiz year 2009 and was now at the first inspection (just under 19,000 km). I have the problem now and then that the 2nd course is difficult to put in (only when switching down). A week ago then was this famous ratchet…. The inserting was very early to recognize….in the workshop they told me that it was slowing down! After already two weeks I have noted this “error”. For the annual inspection sample was driven and now the car goes next Woc he in the workshop and the gearbox is built apart….on guarantee of course! Now I have heard from my “screw workshop” that the Matiz has more problems with the gearbox. Is that really so? Actually I wanted to drive the car until he separates into the years and us the “TÜV”….. Greeting Kerstin

  • Chevrolet Cruze hatchback 2,0D

    I am currently swinging between a Chevrolet Cruze hatchback 2.0 D LT/LTZ with almost full equipment for 15k and a Seat Ibiza 1.4 TSI. Both cars are very different, but both are equally expensive (15k) and offer good driving performance. In the price range, the Ford Focus 1.6 Eco Boost is still playing along. from the optical point of view, I like Ibiza and the Cruze best, with the Cruze having the better equipment, less used and you can step on it without directly 9 l on the Uh For this, Ibiza is an EU vehicle and spare parts and the taxes should be cheaper. Who knows the Chevrolet Cruze 2.0 D as a hatchback? What does it consume, is it sensitive if you buy it as a new car and drive it carefully yourself? Why does it only drive 205 with 163 hp when the 130 hp already drives 200.

  • Buying went wrong

    Hello together, once accepted A visits a car with gas system and B assures him that the TÜV is made new as well as a complete large inspection including change of timing belt and water pump etc. .B sends after the TÜV A the TÜV certificate that he has passed through the TÜV and wants to pick up the car as agreed with B. In the TÜV notification the gas system is still included. A assures the car and allows it and wants to pick it up, then he is informed that the Ga A has made 1000 euros of 2900 euros down payment. A wants the car to be repaired as agreed, that car was offered with car gas and so it also wishes A to be handed over. B wants the gas system to be repaired only if it is economical, otherwise it is not thought of by B. Does B have to provide the car as described in the offer after down payment or can he withdraw from the purchase contract? Must B incurred costs for the registration of insurance, admission, green posters, travel costs by public transport etc. take over at the withdrawal of the contract? Thank you!! Greetings

  • Questions about the cylinder head seal change at the Matiz

    Hello, background / motivations etc. (so you can safely skip) my wife’s matiz has been slowly consuming water for half a year. Since we don’t want to drive the car for long and I didn’t expect it to be problematic quickly, I tolerated it. Now on the way from work the engine control light has started and for a short time he probably also indicated that the engine temperature is too high. I already thought that but still wanted to get an opinion and price from the mechanic and I filled up his coolant container again the next day and left it to drive about 500m to the workshop. He jumped a bit reluctantly, squirted white and embroidered. I was already 90% sure that it is the ZKD. This confirmed also the mechanic. The cost should amount to at least 350€, which I personally find amazing little for the work. But denno The 350 is the lower floor of the price range. Since I have already done a lot of manual work on the car, I have decided to do it myself now. I have never changed a ZKD and therefore stand there a bit awe-inspiringly and do not want to do anything wrong the first time. Since I was afraid that the screws on the exhaust are so rusty that I can’t get them off, I have the Amit first started to solve all of them. I also managed to get the screw from the bottom left, except for the screw that sits above the oil filter. I think if I unscrew the oil filter, I can get the screw from the bottom better. So I already drained the oil now. It came out first about 250ml of water. So ZKD is 100% leaky.From here I need help Now I wanted to order a cylinder head seal kit via daparto am on a set of Blue Print ADG0629 4, which is delivered by Autoteile-Devil. However, with Autoteile-Devil it is not shown to me as suitable for our Matiz, only for M100 and M150. So I am on the Plueprint homepage and there it is shown for M2 (M200?) only for B10S, B10S1, LQ4. But I have no idea which engine we have. I know that it is 1.0L, 4 cylinders with 67Ps. How can I find out which engine code is installed with us and whether the seal is suitable? Instructions for changing the cylinder head. For whole sets – which I looked at – there are no cylinder head screws included. But that doesn’t mean that they are not stretch screws and that need to be replaced. Do I also need new screws?How do you leave off the cooling water on the skilfully without messing up the whole parking lot? The Matiz has no drain tap. Is it actually enough if I leave the cooling liquid at the small cooling circuit? So if I use the connection e (See ang Depending image of the cooling circuit; source: autocats.ws) drain? I want to build everything apart next, so that I only have to assemble it immediately after delivery of the parts. Do I actually have to dismantle the two wheels for alternator and climate to see the marking on the crankshaft? Can one somehow avoid the more work? In the train I also wanted to replace the oil force, because the old one is rusty and it is already last time at the TÜV as a note Since the exhaust goes directly under the oil face, I wonder if I can get the tub out there without disassemblying the exhaust. Does anyone have any experience? I will certainly have further questions. These are the ones that are currently most of my concern. Thanks in advance for the answers.

  • Recommendation for purchase Nubira?

    Hi, everybody! I’m going to take a quick detour from the US Car Forum here. My wife should have a station wagon. I noticed the Chevrolet Nubira. It would be a Nubira 1.6 petrolter with 109 hp, 30,000 km, built in 2007 by € 8,000 from the friendly with 1 year warranty/guarantee. Are there any abnormalities with this vehicle? Timing belt interval? Rost? Any major problems? Have read frequently here in the forum of engine management problems (Lambdasonde and I would be happy if you could give me some tips, shortcomings and also satisfaction tips. I conclude the very favorable price that the average European can’t do anything with “Chevrolet”, and that this brand (although Daewoo is under it) is not for the general people. It is well known that every “American” car needs at least 30 liters And this “unknowledge advantage” I would like to Thanks in advance!

  • HYundai Atos Vs. Chevrolet Matiz… which is better???

    Hello together…. My girlfriend wants to buy a new car and has “looked out” in the two above mentioned cars. Here in the forum we have already read some good and bad postings about both cars. Unfortunately she can’t really decide which one is better than that. Maybe some of you can share your experiences with both cars. Thank you for your answers. Many greetings from the north……

  • Aveo 1.2 (84PS): How much does valve play check?

    Since the 1.2 does not have any hydros, the valve play has to be checked every 15000km. What costs do I get? Hopefully not such! Detail question: If a valve play setting is due, does this work with the 1.2er with adjustment plate or do the complete cup plunger have to be replaced? Do the camshafts have to go out or does this happen with a high-turned cam with a valve lower holder (special tool)? thank you & Greet
