712 Questions
What is the fair market value for a 2004 Chevy Aveo?
Don't expect to get much if anything for your Aveo. They are cheap and unreliable and expensive to fix. I know this because I am stuck with one too.
How do you change the spark plugs in a Chevy aveo?
You will first have to remove the the cover that cover's your valve cover. This can be done by removing the two hex screws that hold this cover on. Be sure to remove the hose that runs along the back side of this cover before pulling it out. Once you have pulled it off, you will notice the spark plug wires going down on top of the engine. Simply remove the wire, and then the spark plug one at a time. When you get the new spark plug ready, be sure to gap the plug prior to install. The owners manual will state the gap (or a range the gap has to be between). Then, spread some anti seize around the threads before you put the spark plug into the engine. Put it in, tighten it down until it is wrench tight, and then put the spark plug wire back on. Repeat this step until you are all done. Replace the cover in the reverse order as described above.
Where is the crankshaft position sensor located on a 2007 Chevy Aveo?
Most likely on front cover of engine by crankshaft
Where is the oil drain plug on a 2004 Chevrolet aveo?
Underneath the Motor. Go underneath the car and look for the silver metal box. It should say Daewoo on it. It is a bolt facing the back. Remove Lefty-Loosy, Righty-Tighty.
Why can't you get your trunk open from the inside or with a key?
2010 Aveo can't get trunk to work with key,lever,or emergency lever.
When to change fuel filter on Chevy aveo?
The Aveo has a non-serviceable paper fuel filter inside the fuel pump. Replacement of the filter requires replacement of the entire pump, so it should only be replaced when the pump itself fail.
In newer models, there is an access panel underneath the rear seat that can be used to replace the entire fuel pump. In models without an access panel, the fuel tank must be removed to access the pump from underneath the car.
Where is the fuel filter on a Chevy Caprice?
If the Caprice is a 1991+ caprice, then it should be located near the passenger side rear tire. You will find that it is an inline fuel filter about the size of a small can of tomato paste with poles sticking out each end. The filter is easy to remove by hand, but sometime can be a pain if it has not been changed out in awhile. Most replacements are plastic filters, but NAPA has metal versions. Easier to see where the unit is by taking a flash light and laying down on the opposite side of the car and looking over. I had a hard time finding it the first time I went looking. Now that I know where it is, I can do it in about 10-15 minutes tops depending on what I am doing.
How do you repair air conditioner in a 2004 Chevy aveo?
Most A/C's on Aveos need freon to get fixed. It is about $80 to get that done. If the freon is fully charged the next possible problem is that the low pressure switch is bad on the accululatordrier. Next look at the compressor relay. Last the compressor itself may be bad.
You should have it looked at by a professional A/C mechanic because the system is under pressure and it takes special equipment to drain and refill the freon.
A 2011 LS sedan has a 12 US gallon fuel tank capacity.
Where is the coolant temperature sensor on a 2009 Chevy aveo located?
the temp sensor is located on the right side of the engine under the intake manifold on the engine block. Easiest access is from underneath.
Location on engine: no special tools is need it to remove it
How do you replace headlight bulbs in Chevy Aveo?
It depends on the car year and style probably. I just replaced the headlights on my friends '04 Chevy aveo hatchback.
1) Open Hood
2) Behind the headlights there is a large round rubber gasket surrounding the light and wiring, pull the tab at the bottom of this gasket until it starts to come loose from the headlight assembly.
3) Pull away the gasket as much as possible, exposing the rear of the lightbulb.
4) There is a single metal piece that loops around the back of the bulb and secures it in two places. On the left side (when looking down into the hood), you must press it in (towards yourself) and then press it away from you. This will unhinge that side and should allow it to pivot away, thereby un-securing the bulb.
5) Pull the bulb out and then pull it away from the wiring connection on the back. This was more difficult than it should have been.
6) Replace the bulb with the new one and repeat steps in reverse to secure.
The passenger side was a bit easier due to the fact that there was a bit more space available to maneuver. I was able to do it on the driver side without removing the battery.
[Mr. Really Nice Guy: 20081128] Having just replaced a bulb in a 2006 Aveo, I can say that these instructions are close, but a better answer would be to check your service manual that should've come with the car. I could not remove the bulb using just these instructions. In fact, if the previous poster was able to do the driver side bulb without removing the battery, he's downright amazing. Instead, I had to remove the front grill, then the headlamp assembly, and then the retaining clip inside of the assembly. Quick note: try to avoid removing the clip, entirely. It can be confusing to put it back together. But, as I said, the instruction manual for the car has this information. It was easy to find in the index.
OK 2009/02/24 I just did both sides on 2004 Aveo Hatch LS. I found directions above from first poster very useful, more useful than the book that came with the car. His step 4 in particular is much better than the book. However, one BIG improvement is this: as per the book, remove the wire harness connector FIRST. It is a LOT easier to get off while the bulb is secure in the fixture. Notice, first poster complained it was way too hard. Even doing it first, it is sticky. You need to work the plastic connector back and forth gently to get it off. I wore those yellow plastic kitchen gloves and could get a better grip. After the wire harness is off, it is easy to get the headlamp cap off (the big black gasket). Do the passenger side FIRST - it is easier. About the drivers side: I don't know about 2006, but for my 2004, no need to remove battery or grill or anything. There IS a hose coming from coolant reservoir to the radiator. It is clipped in place; I carefully pulled it away from the clip in order to move the whole thing about 2 inches to get it out of the way. After that driver's side is not too bad. DONT FORGET TO PUT THE HOSE BACK where it came from. Other notes: the lamp 2004 Aveo Hatch wants is 9003/HB2. Dont touch the glass of the lamp. Hold it by the metal only. There are 3 tabs on the lamp so it only goes in one way. There are three spades for the wire harness. One of the spades lines up with one of the tabs - this defines the TOP of the lamp. One last thing, evidently the lights do not come on unless the engine is started. I *never* knew this before today (why would I?). I tried to test the lamp w/o starting the engine and was all mad it did not work. I started the engine and tried again and was happy.
This is a slight modification of the first instruction:
1) Open Hood
2) Behind headlight ass'y, there is a large, round rubber gasket surrounding the light bulb. The bulb extends thru the gasket with a connector pressed onto its terminals. Carefully pry off the connector with a thin blade screwdriver, or simply rock it left and right while pulling toward firewall. NOTE: If it is the driver side, the battery will be somewhat in the way. I recommend removing its clamp (straddling bracket held by two rods and two 10mm nuts). Put the nuts and rods aside, then lift and slide the battery toward the engine as far as it will go. For additional lamp installation room, prop a ~ one inch object under the right side of the battery (a screwdriver handle will work).
3) Pull the tab at the bottom of this gasket until it starts to come loose from the headlight assembly. Remove it and put it aside.
4) Note how the bulb is installed. Then remove it by unhooking the non pivoting side of the clamp, then swing it away from the bulb.
5) Remove and replace the bulb (large tab up, and middle electrical terminal up).
6) Re-hook the wire clamp.
7) Reinstall the rubber gasket, with word 'top' at the top.
8) Press on the electrical socket. Note that all three wires are secure and not abraided.
9) To test, turn ignition key to 'on', then the lightswitch 'on'. Check both high and low beams for alignment (approx. same height beam). If one is off significantly, make sure bulb is inserted in its cavity properly.
10) If the driver side, put the battery back in place and secure its clamp.
Here's my answer:
On 7/8/09
I changed the driver side head light/day lamp on my 2007 aveo sedan. I only had two tools, my needle nose pliers and my eyeglasses screwdriver.
1) do not mess with the battery...instead there should be three bolts two on top and one by the grill that are really easy to remove.
2) this does take a little bit of work, pull the headlight from the car and disconnect the side power cord, there is a tab at the bottom just press and it should come right off.
3) pull back the rubber gasket, this should reveal the internal wire clap that holds the light bulb in place.
4) release the wire clamp, it should just pop off when you press it in and it probably would be easier to press in both sides and once. (I only did one side and had to fight with the lamp to let loose)
5) now that the lamp is out of the headlight, put the headlight off to the side and work off the plug off the back, and pull off the rubber gasket once the lamp is free of the plug.
6) place the new light bulb with the middle tab facing up into the headlight, and secure the wire clamps. (this took less than a minute, just follow the position of the tabs)
7) put the rubber gasket on to the head lamp and make sure top is facing up, then replace all the plugs and wiring back onto the headlamp.
8) ok this is a little tricky, work the headlight back into the car body and makesure all of the bolt holes line up.
9) test the lights, they should now work.
10) replace and tighten the bolts.
Just a note as well, when I purchased this car new, i received the book, but it got lost in one of my moves, pulling out the headlight assembly is a bit of a pain as it putting it back in, but there should not be a need to remove the wire clamp it does come off pretty easily once exposed. Oh and thanks for putting up this answer.
I_JUST_DID_TWO_OF_THESE_IN_A_BLIZZARD!">I JUST DID TWO OF THESE IN A BLIZZARD!I had both lamps out in an 06 Aveo hatchback...the first answer was very helpful!
I did the following steps with my fat fingers without removing any battery...etc...
1. Pull back on white plug...it is spongy but keep wiggling and pulling on the white plug...you wont break anything.
2. Remove large black rubber gasket.
3. Use the metal clip to your left to unlatch the bulb...push it in first then squeeze it a bit toward the bulb...its a pressure latch to hold the bulb in place.
4. ***IMPORTANT*** remove old bulb touching only the metal prongs with your hands...IF YOU TOUCH THE BULB GLASS WITH YOUR BARE HANDS...THE OILS WILL CAUSE THE BULB TO BLOW MUCH MUCH MUCH SOONER!!!!! (old TV studio lighting trick)
5. For install, reverse above instructions.
TIP *** Do passenger side first to get the hang of it!
.................... Why would you have to worry about how you handle the OLD lamp, you must have meant the NEW lamp?
Adding even more:
On my 2008 model, I thinks things are slightly different. The bulb is simply held in by a simple clamp. I did not have to unhook or unscrew anything. To replace the bulbs:
1) Find the chord that connects to the headlight, and pull it out. Mine came right out, and I would say this is similar to pulling a plug from an electrical outlet.
2) Next, you'll need to remove the rubber gasket. A light tug should be all you need. Place it somewhere will it will not be lost.
3) The bulb is held in by a clamp that hooks around it on each side. There are handles on the sides of the clamp. Simply put your fingers on the clamp's handles and push in on them to release the clamp.
4) Pull the old headlight out.
5) When you insert the new bulb, you'll see that it has three pieces on the outside, kind of like this /^\. Line these pieces up with the socket to slide the new bulb in.
6) Rehook the clamp.
7) Put the rubber gasket back on. Put it around the bulb first, then onto its socket.
8) Rehook the chord.
9) start your engine and turn your lights on (headlights will not come on unless engine is on) to check your work.
How many kilometers per liter do you get in the 1.5 aveo?
14 km/ litre on highway the last I checked it out.
Where do you pour power steering fluid in 2007 Chevy aveo?
Pour power steering fluid into the power steering fluid reseviour. It is the translucent plastic container with the black plastic screw-on cap that is imprinted with a steering wheel on the top. The reseviour is mounted on the right side of the engine compartment, just in front of the battery. You should be able to see the steering fluid level throught the side of the reseviour. You will want to fill it so the fluid level is between the min. (minimum) line and the max. (maximum) lines embossed on the side of the power steering fluid reseviour. Clean and replace the reseviour cap, turning it clockwise firmly, by hand until it stops. This instruction is the same for all Chevy Aveos, 2004-2011.
How do you change oil in 2005 Chevy aveo?

Where is the obd2 connector on a Chevy aveo?
In my 2004 Chevy Aveo LS, the OBD-II connector is against the panel closest to the driver's knees above the brake pedal.
How do you change sparkplugs on a 2006 Chevy aveo?
First you have to remove the cylinder head cover. You can do this by removing the two hex screws on top. Once those screws are removed, pull the cover off. You will now see a bunch of spark plug wires on top. Pull one of the spark plug wires off, and at the very bottom, you will see your spark plug. Get your Spark Plug Socket, Long Extention, and a rachet and unscrew it and pull out. Once it is out, look at the spark plug for any signs of unusual wear. Get your new spark plug out of the box. Gap that little metal space at the top of the spark plug to what the owners manual says the spark plug gap should be between. Place anti-sieze on the threads of the spark plug and install them in reverse order.
It is best to do one spark plug at a time so that you do not mix up the spark plug wires.
Tire pressure for Chevrolet aveo?
I used to use 28 PSI on my Chevy Aveo 1.6 option pack. Now the tyre fellows as well as the repairers advised to keep it at 30 psi especially for bad roads.

Where is the horn relay for 2005 Chevy Aveo?
The horn relay is below the inside fuse panel. It is located behind the panel next to the left foot. You will need to remove the cover from the door threshold. Hold your hand on the plastic panel left of the brake on the side. Push the horn button.. you will feel the relay being activated... if it works. No tools are needed to remove the plastic covers.. I just finished checking the horn relay for my daughters cars. It was not the problem. :O(
Where is the starter located on a 2004 Chevy aveo?
the starter is located on the transaxle near firewall you must jack car up and look underneath driverside of the engine compartment it is held on by 3 nuts and 2 wires must be disconnected in order to remove it , it is a simple job with the proper wrenches and sockets, remember to use jack stands while working on a vehicle or safely support the vehicle if it must be rasied.
How do you put on timing chain on 2004 Chevy aveo?
CHANGING THE TIMING BELT Like all timing belt replacement jobs, the timing belt cover on the front of the engine will have to come off. But first you have to get some other parts out of the way. Start by disconnecting the battery. Then remove the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor connector, the air intake tube from the throttle body, the breather tube from the valve cover, and the air filter housing. Next, remove the right front wheel so you can remove the splash shield behind it. With these other parts out of the way, you can remove the serpentine belt, and then the crankshaft pulley bolt and the crankshaft pulley (you will probably need a puller to get the pulley off the nose of the crankshaft). Support the engine safely and remove the right motor mount and then the bracket that is attached to the engine. This will allow the timing belt to be removed and will also allow simple water pump pliers to be used to adjust the belt instead of the expensive special tool J42492! Next, you can remove the upper timing belt cover, then the lower cover. Remove the nut that holds the power steering line to the engine near the alternator. Put the crank pulley bolt back into the end of the crankshaft, and rotate the crank as needed to align the mark on the crankshaft timing belt pulley with the notch on the bottom of the rear timing belt cover (the mark should be down pointing at notch in the cover). Be sure that the timing marks on the cams are lined up too! Now you can loosen the water pump bolts and rotate the pump counterclockwise with water pump pliers (tool J42492 is not required as long as the motor mount is removed) to relieve tension on the belt. The timing belt can now be slipped off. Don't disturb the position of the crankshaft or camshaft pulleys until the new belt is in place. As we said earlier, it is a good idea to also go ahead and also replace the water pump, idler and tensioner pulleys at this time, too. Even if no other parts are replaced at the very least put a new water pump o-ring seal on! Once the new parts have been installed, use the water pump pliers to rotate the water pump clockwise to tension the timing belt. Continue rotating the water pump clockwise until the adjuster arm pointer on the automatic timing belt tensioner aligns with the notch in the tensioner bracket. You can now tighten the water pump bolts. GM recommends rotating the crankshaft twice at this point to make sure all of the timing marks are correctly aligned. They also recommend loosening the water pump bolts, and rotating the water pump clockwise again to make sure the tensioner pointer lines up with the notch in the bracket. You don't want a loose tensioner because it might allow the belt to slip and jump time. You also don't want the belt too tight because that can shorten the life of the water pump shaft bearings and seal as well as the timing belt. Once the belt has been properly tensioned and double-checked to make sure the timing marks are correctly aligned, you can put everything back in the reverse order it was taken apart. The recommended torque for the crankshaft pulley bolt is 70 ft.lbs. (95 Nm) plus and angle turn of 30 degrees followed by a final turn of an additional 15 degrees (use a torque wrench and angle gauge to be accurate). Also, when you remount the right front wheel on the car, use a torque wrench on the lug nuts. Even though GM says to replace the timing belt at 60,000 miles its a good idea to do this every 50,000 miles. Much of this is shown here: http://home.earthlink.net/~aveobot/id1.html
How do you drain heavy oil out of 2008 Chevy aveo?
