make sure the intercooler pump/system works properly, i would be willing to place money that it isnt. gl with the car PS those wheels are ugly as sin.

 

Car runs and drives fine... how would i quickly test the intercooler pump? or tell if it isnt functionong right?

And whats wrong with the wheels? Wouldnt be my FIRST choice... but i dont think they are too bad...

 

yeah since they are the adr version of the rial nogaros :p ... pop the cap between the sc and rad support, turn car on, if you see fluid rushing your **** works.

 

What cap is it? Any idea what it says on it?


you talking about the cap in front of the SC in this pic? The one close to the intake?

 

its the one above the gm performance badge

 

is that the car ur buying cause your suppose to remove the filler neck when you install the opt b.

 

^true ****... also why isnt there any fluid in the tank? is it hooked up?

 

Looks like they put opt b in but didn't hook it up or fil it

 

i need to clean my engine bay, it looks like **** because the washer line broke and i ended up with it everywhere now that its fixed thanks to 5 feet of nylon hose ...

 

^^ That was just a pic i found on google for reference.... wasnt the car im buying lol.

SO its the cap that looks like a radiator cap right in front of the supercharger.... ill make sure i check that when i look at the car again on Sunday.

 

its like 89 on ZZps website also it could be wired backwards. so it flows slowly thats the case.

 

I was gonna say, DAMN that car is clean

 

and ps if you dont want those rims ill trade you for my gunmetal stockers with tires lol

 

Lol... i actually like the rims. Like i said... wouldnt have been my first choice... but i definitely do like them...


Plus they got new tires on them

 

It'll flow right to left instead of left to right.

Stick a straw or something in there and make sure the fluid is being sucked to the right. It can still bubble even if the pump is dead (from vibes).

Good luck

 

Went and saw the Cobalt yesterday.... all drove great... rode great.... and was good. Im definitely gunna pick this thing up.... especially at the price my buddy is gunna sell it to me for. The only things i noticed that i wasnt all that fond of... is that the right front HID stopped working.... and he apparently put a regular bulb in there but it didnt work either.... but when i put the brights on... they both worked. Odd. Im assuming a dual filament bulb.... so maybe ill just try a different bulb. The other thing was the rear sub has been removed... so its just running music from the facotory speakers. The factory sub is laying in the trunk... so i may try to fabricate something. The last thing... which im most concerned with is the IC pump was NOT working. I pulled the cap on it and there was no coolant flowing in the lines. That is something id like to address immediately.... I guess ill be looking for a write up on how to replace it. Any opinions on best place to buy the new part for the best price?

here are the pics i took yesterday...just a couple quick shots.

move the ss badge to the button of the door, never understood why it was placed there in the 05 model looks out of place lol

 

Pump is not hard to replace AT ALL.
Jack car up and locate black pump
disconnect electrical, hose and bracket
put new pump in and reverse ^^ the last step
????
Profit

 

Cool~ Thanks. I hear the clamps are glued on and are a bitch to get off... so im sure this will be fun doing on my back on the ground LOL.

Should i just go with the Bosch replacement? Found one shipped for $124.

 

Yup pump is retarded easy the only advice id add to this is that the hoses that are connect to the pump are glued on so you may as well take a razor and cut around the hose unless you enjoy slamming ur hands into stuff trying to pull them apart.

 

better advice, remove the ss badge and dont put it back on

 

ehh to plain for my taste then it looks like you just got a reg cobalt with a body kit, I like having the badge so people have an idea of what it is.

 

So boys and girls.... its official... i did indeed buy the car yesterday~

Drove it around for a while.... and am loving it already. Got a great deal on the car too. I wont be driving it very hard for a while.... until i replace the IC pump anyways.

Gunne try to detail and clean it real soon.... and then post pics on here of it.

 

check your low beam fuse for the headlight issue. My OEM plug was wet and it blue mine. Took me a few to figure out it was the fuse. also leave the door badges, not many 05s have them like that as it was corrected halfway through production. Kinda cool i think anyway.

 

most people dont even realize its a cobalt until i tell them. it looks cleaner without all the gay badges. remove rear ones too. paint bowtie body color, paint headlight housings black, and get tc grills. also needs a drop...
