so i took my car back to the dealership about a week ago bc it was making a weird ticking noise, so they replaced the tensioner and valve cover gasket.. so i picked it up and its making the same sound as it was before they fixed it, but now its alot louder and theres a big noise near the driverside part of the motor underneath..my mechanic thinks it could be a wrist pin and the ticking noise on top of the motor is a timing chain (hopefully)...soo what does everyone think it could be?

 

damn dat sucks joey

 

yeah it does it bogs really bad now too wtf

wtf 46 views and no comments!?!?

 

i think they make **** worse so u bring it back more and more so they make u pump more and more money to them...thats what my friend at jiffy lube does all the time but usually if they **** him off he does it

 

yaaaa they wouldnt do that if it was under warranty...

 

yeah its under warranty, its going in the dealer monday and the noise is coming from the back of the motor so they have to rip it out..gay

 

Its non of those things, have them check your exhaust. You most likely have a exhaust air leak.

 

no, its making a horrible engine noise when i rev it up, i also have real bad idle surge goes all the way up to 1500 and down to 500 when i come to a stop and idle

 

cobalt will be gone by the end of may or june..

 

I guess you cant whine about the dealers doing it,if you have a friend you know does it and then come on here and brag about it .

Its guys like your friend that make people hate bringing there car anywhere !

 

bring it to a different dealer for a 2nd opinion

 

getting a new car man??

 

hope soo

make sure they check your lifters while inside..

 

Update! so i got my car back today and they tell me it isnt fixed yet bc there waiting on parts.. the parts they need is the exhaust cam, cam sensor and cam housing along with someone other misc things.. but its apparently ok to drive around until i gets fixed
