I own a 2005 colbolt ss/sc with 14,000 miles. I got word today that it might be a blown supercharger. Will this be covered under warranty? Or will they try to pull a fast one and try to say that I beat the car. I'm kind of worried here.

what are your mods? and youre driving 14000 mph? PICS OR BAN!!! seriously how can your motor rev high enough to do that..

seriously if you're stock or close to it you'll be fine.. but if you have like un- gm pulley and such you're gonna get hosed..

14,000 miles on the car. The car is totally stock. When I bought the car from the dealership they said it had a stage 2 kit in it, but I didn't do anything else.

redlineblueline

well that theres your problem





































just playing .....depends on if you beat it or if your modded

Wow, you doin that 14k MPH on street tires? If so, let me know which ones so I can get a set

x2 on the above. Long as you play ball with GM-only parts and you really didn't trash the blower intentionally, you don't have much to worry about. If they say no or you have other mods, I've found that showing them a print copy of the magnuson-moss warranty act helps sometimes, but that depends on the dealer.

Hope this helps.

Well I only had the car for a month, so I dont think they can accuse me of beating it... But you never know thats why I was getting some input

OK, so you bought it used. Did they say it came with a warranty? If they said it had the existing warranty, then you should be fine.

yellowspeed5

yeah it has 6 months left on the warranty and I bought and extended 5 yr on it also.

HickOverLOrd

They will probably check if tires are worn from burnouts or look for rubber in the wheel well or around the car. If they cant prove that you beat on it, it should be under warranty. Thats all there is to it really.

I never heard of people blowing their supercharger? Jesus. The thing sucks and compresses air. If your running stock S2 pulley, I'm curious to know what happend?

^^maybe the bearings went shot and the sc oil leaked out?

ggarcia86

if its a grinding noise it might be your throttle body, mine had to be replaced under warrentee

an0malous

if its stock aside from a stage 2 kit installed by GM techs....they you should have no issue with warranty coverage.

xmusic_addictx

I had this too, second day I had the car.

hedlesshorsmenss

yea its probably the bearings. mine went out and they replaced the whole SC for me. it will set ya back bout a week but it should be covered for sure.

you must have been beating on the thing because most superchargers are good for 100,000 miles.

what is wrong with that???

SSdan

I just find it funny. Rather humoring to be honest.

eurochevy

i think hes implying that the 2.2 isn't fast enough that u gotta shift so fast because u can just wait for it to get there then shift fast because ur revs take so long to climb

SSdan

Bingo.

What's the point?

yellowspeed5

i am saying that i can shift any manual faster than most people i am not implying what eurochevy said if any one wants proof just come for a ride in my car. A race car driver of 40 years said this to me while driving his 911 GT3. "you are one of the fastest shifters that i have ever seen!"
