2005 Aveo 5-spd sedan - timing belt broke - being repaired

[Daox]

In 2006 they went to a drive by wire throttle. I that is the only difference I know of until the ecotec engine was put in the Aveos in 2009. Horsepower and mileage stayed relatively the same until the ecotec as well.

only thing i can think of for added mileage would be aerodynamic changes with the front end?

or isnt 2007 when the new emissions test came out? maybe it did slightly better comparing the new test with the old?

were off topic now, fix this thing!!

I'm just waiting on the salvage yard now. I need a confirmation email so I can go there, show them the email, and pick it up. Best guess is I'll have it Thursday night.

Woohoo! It's rare to read people say that on forums. I like it.

I agree: get at it, Tim!

So about the difference between ecotec and etec... just kidding...

Back to the topic. What brand belt are planning on using? I've seen some discussions about it in a very old thread but didn't wana bump it. What's a good brand? Knowing that it can brake so easy I would not wanna get a cheap belt. Also does it make a difference (brand wise) what water pump and tensioner you get?

[Daox]

I'm not even sure I'll replace the belt or anything on it. I'll inspect it to see what condition its all in.

Serega - nothing wrong with bumping old threads with new questions/info.
