I have read through the owners' manual and checked the index, I see that the book recommends checking the the timing belt at 30k and replacement at 60k. I have no idea whether this was done at 30k. Should I just have it replaced now? The car was a rental in Colorado. I broke a timing belt on my Ford Escort '93 and it was no big deal. Apparently it is a big deal on the Aveo.
Two small irratations probably not worth the mention:
1. The clock on the dashboard is lighted for about 1 minute or less when the vehicle first starts cold. Thereafter no numbers visible. I am not a mechanic - is this an adjustment or has Chevy decided I should only know what time it is when I first set out in the morning?
2. Yesterday I decided to look under the hood. I pulled the lever beneath the dash and nothing happened. After yanking on it several times the hood released. Is there an adjustment a clutz can make?
Thank you for any help.
