07 SS Cobalt (supercharged)
I’m looking to buy the car listed above. Any common problems or things I need to look at for when inspecting it? Im new to the Cobalt scene so I’m looking forward to hearing some feedback on this. Thanks! |
Make sure the intercooler pump is working, open the small coolant cap at the front of the engine while it's running and see is the coolant is moving. Look for rust at the bottom of the doors. If you can lift the car up check for broken rear coil springs and torn rearward control arm bushings on the front control arms. Check for any rattling from the timing chain on cold start. Other than that just ask about general maintenance stuff. Hopefully others will chime in here on anything I may have missed.

Thanks! The head was also a major issue for my car. It's had two replacements and the head gasket was partially blown when I had it replaced for an oil leak because that's the only way the part that was leaking was available. Otherwise, the engine's been pretty rock solid. Unless you count the TPS failure recently. To be fair to the car, the people that owned it before me treated her pretty rough. |
