Hey,
I have a couple of questions. I just hit 101,543KM on my 2006 Chevrolet Aveo5 Special Value. I bought the car at 70,000KM and I'm not sure what was done before it was sold to me.. I know it was a lease return though. I've already replaced the sepertine belt - 3 times, a front driver side control arm bushing and ball joint and now I'm looking at a driver side wheel bearing and brake pads.
1) Could I put off the timing belt until I have the money? It's around $200 to get done, but I don't have the money and can't have it lended but I should have it in 2-3 weeks.. Trying to get a job. The question is, if it started slipping or wearing would it give warning signs?
2) I need a new windshield, it's got a big crack but it's still stable, not worrying about it shattering. how much am I looking at for this?
3) I have a minor fender dent/crease in the front driver side fender, what tool do I need to take off the fender cover? Is there any chance I could pop out the dent/crease?
5) I find when my clutch is fully pressed in it's under 1,000RPM. What's happening here? It doesn't do the little 'jerk' so to speak when you shift anymore, but it goes into gear fine and once I let out the clutch it engages fine. It has a really smooth steady acceleration and feel to it.
4) Any other maintance I should have done when I get the money? Right now my list is:
- Timing belt
- Wheel bearing
- Brake pads
- Oil change
- Windshield
