he states that the timing belt was replaced before he got it. He was sitting close to 80,000 miles back in January, probably in the upper 80s now. He even said he was going to replace it around 100k miles. That seems like decent servicing to me, no?
Yes i got the car at 63,000 miles and i was told that all 60,000 mile matanice was done i was planning to replace the belt at 100,000 miles but just over 90,000 miles like 90,025 miles the belt broke the teeth came off about a 2 inch stretch of the belt. here is the problem we aveo owners have an interferance motor. Yes they do make room for this problem BUT if you have build up on the valves you no longer have the space needed to save the valves i used injector cleaner and tecron and octain booster to pervent the valves becoming a problem but i guess i didn't do enough. today they told me ALL the valves are bent. my $375 repair just jumped to over a grand or more. everything i read says it a $1600 - $2000 Job in U.S. Dollers for you canadians. Look the lesson her is if you have a timing belt that is over 60,000 miles on it you NEED TO REPLACE IT NOW! if you got your aveo used and it has over 60,000 mile on it Just get it done it will save you Money in the long run. my car was a ticking time bomb i took the dealers word that ALL 60,000 mile Service had been done that means the timing belt was replaced MINE wasn't i have the stock belt. i will be talking to my lawer in the moring about sueing the dealership for selling me a car that DID NOT have a service done that they told me it was.
