    Help with P0299

    For starters I have a 2015 sonic hatchback 1.4 turbo. I've had a CAI, ZZP pcv bypass kit and ZZP ported intake installed for about a year with no issues during that time. Factory Tune. I found an oil leak coming from the oil cooler. I've had an unused Dorman turbo assembly sitting in my garage...

    Small coolant leak coming from right side of engine (opposite of water pump/belt side). Doing strange things.

    I agree with what Rayne is saying, but just go ahead and spend the $30 for a nee coolant reservoir just to rule that out as being the leaking part. The only other part on that side of the engine is the water outlet and a couple hoses....all are relatively cheap fixes.

    Pioneer Nex headunits

    Was just wondering if anyone has tried installing any of the pioneer avh-nex series head units in their sonic to replace the MyLink. From what i've read so far is that this is doable with the idatalink maestro box and the gm wiring kit. It says it retains steering wheel controls, chimes and...

    Bypass Solenoid Help!!!

    So my CEL has been on for about a month now and i thought it might have something to do with me being over the 3k mark for an oil change. Well that was not the issue. Apparently my Evap purge solenoid is causing the CEL which is the bypass valve...correct me if i'm wrong please lol. The part...
