So my car died....

Aveo is the only GM the is built by Daewoo? so its probably not interchangeable with cobalts or anything.

I would think it would be the same, but in another thread on here, it was discussed that they adding a gallon of fuel to the tank, so the dimensions of the 09 might require a different pump, and it is typically part of the fuel gauge sending unit.

you know i've heard other forum members mention minor problems with the newer aveo's. the only problem i ever had was when i first got my 04 there was a vacuum line that was connected and the hose was too short. it broke and my car wouldnt hold idle. they replaced the hose and i was on my way in 15 minutes. car has been great ever since. i hope your problem works out to be very minor and is resolved quickly.

there are only two available in the US

The dealer might have been joking. There should always be a suitable fuel pump. I heard aveo's fuel pump is interchangeable with that of Chevy Niva. But you don't have this model over there.

according to the car allowance, they re going to need to have my car for more than 3 days to qualify, so i dont think there is one in the immediate area. so whether joking or not, i am not getting my car back until next week at the earliest.

with the locating system they have you can see where the part is sitting on any shelf in any dealership throughout the US.

They're probably telling you the truth. At our dealership, it sometimes takes a week or more for parts to come in. We actually have to wait for them to be produced before we can get them

If not for the qualification at the dealer you could try finding a suitable model. There are bound to be some. There should be sites to tell you suitable models.

if u go thru a site then its not covered under warranty and hes got warranty so its best to do it thru stealership.

I guess it's no problem replacing it with the original before you show up at the dealer next time for maintenance. Besides you think they are gonnna look in there to check if there's the original?

Dude what? His car died on the road with under 10k miles and was towed to the dealership.

Why would he dick around putting a fuel pump in himself multiple times?, when its all under warranty, and he can have a rental, and no messy gas smell?

I might be reading what your saying wrong. If so sorry.

When I bought my cruise control there was only 1 in the country, also on the west coast.

The good news is, it might mean they dont need a huge inventory of parts here, because they dont get many that go bad.

The bad news,....maybe theres been a rash of failures, and there using up the supply as fast as they can get them here?

I think its all just the fact that all the parts got to be shipped here, unlike a car with the Plant and all the parts somewhere in Ohio like the Cobalt (Lordstown, Ohio)

Yes, I considered that by saing "If not for the qualification at the dealer". If his car hadn't been towed to the dealer and he wasn't given a rental he could at least change the part easily. I meant "if". But luckily it's not the case.
