Can i send you mine what you need the whole thing or what and can i send it to your PMs?

 

so where do i find the build date

 

There is a sticker on the driver side door. At least there was on mine. I'll take a pic of it when I get home today.

 

bump for knowlage

 

I just thought I would post a reply of what they did. The tech took off the old timing set and just by looking at it it looked fine. With the new one one, I cant hear that knocking/rattling noise any more.

Oh, while he had it torn down, I let him install my GMPP exhaust manifold for me.(free of course )

 

i have had this same problem scince day one. It only does it while it is warming up and then it goes away. I took it to the dealer and they said this is normal for my car lol!! So i dont know what to do. The car runs fine but i hate that sound every morning.

 

To the dude that was checking VIN's, if youre still around can you find out when mine was made: 77322900

Thanks in advance

 

Sorry for the late response. Yours was built after the bulletin calls for. Your build date is 4/10/07.

 

05 Cobalts FTW! Seriously, shame on GM!!!

 

omg... i think this is the solution to my problem

 

fr33k can you check my build date? My VIN is 267876543. Thanks.

 

****! there's my answer

I guess it looks like I'm taking this to my boss so I can get things ordered. Warranty FTW! Having to do it yourself for cheap FTL!

is there a TSB number on this? I tryed taking it to the dealership but they wont do anything because of the motormounts and transmounts. Will GM give the information to me or does a dealership have to call?

 

Mine was made 4/16/06 and has been making that sound since 3k on the od...

here is a vid, you cant really hear it thanks to the wind and CAB mod but when I am looking down at the stock header it seems loudest: http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p...Walkaround.flv

 

Same thing just happened to my friends cobalt. He is a member here (Boostn07) his car was fixed in a day.

 

The dealership HAS to call GM TAC. If they just look on dealerworld they wont find it. GM is hiding it so most people won't go into the dealership and demand theirs being fixed.

The bad thing is it fixed mine for a little while. Now it's doin it again. Same sound but not as loud.

GM has no idea on what it is. And since it's only every now and then and not all the time, they can't/ wont do much about it.

 

i just had that problem and my dealer fixed it.

 

HaHa, do you know what I just thought of reading this. Maybe Mr. Andy Wise of the Memphis ABC news should read this and see what do when you actually, sincerely find a TSB no one knows about and want to help.

I think I might have this, I may say something when I take her in for inspection this weekend.

 

6Z193157 ... anyon wanna look up my build date its been doing it for sometime now the dealer CND and told me it was my pulley on my supercharger..im going to print out this info and give it to them tomorrow and demand they fix it

 

Yours is just before the dates on the TSB. Your build date is 3/21/06. Yours does have a recall/bulletin on your exhaust. If you ever had a SEL and a code P0420 you might can get your cat changed out

08085
MIL ON, DTC P0420, EXHAUST NOISE, POOR PERFORMANCE - REF. TSB 08-06-05-002

 

Ok, is this a danger to the motor?

If the problem was never fixed would there be any risk?

 

hmmm lol well i have a header and dp so i dont have to worry about the recall, but i do have the noise exactly how its descibed here.. are they going to give me **** for it.. im out of warrenty and i dont have the money to get this changed.. they better fix it

 

X2??
