    Lower radiator temperature?

    Sonic 1.4 engine rattle/squeak?

    Anyone know what might be causing this sound? Have you heard this sound before? I replaced the vapor canister purge valve last year when I had a rattling noise and that ratting noise went away. Wondering if this is caused by something else or is it the vapor canister purge valve again. The...

    Trunk Lock Actuator Motor for 2015 Chevy Sonic Hatchback

    Is the actuator motor for the 2015 Sonic hatchback the same as the actuator motor for the sedan? I'm looking to replace mine but all the online parts sites note "sedan", with no mention of "hatchback". If you know the part number for the hatchback trunk lock actuator, that'd be great! Also...

    Help/Advice on Coolant Leak

    I've been trying to figure out the source(s) of my 2015 Chevy Sonic 1.4 (100k miles) coolant leak for months. I've replaced the water pump, coolant thermostat, coolant water outlet, coolant hoses, leaky hose clamps, coolant reservoir. I even tried using K-Seal, hoping there was a minor leak...
