  1. That is pretty normal for these cars. I had a 2014 with the CVT and it was the same. They aren't powerhouses in any way. And that CVT is a joke of a transmission.
  2. Nothing really to add but the LT model is the upper level. There was LS, LT1 and LT2.
  3. I personally would stay away from the 2013-2015 model years. 2016 was a design change and things got better. Most of the transmission issues was with the 2014-2015 model year cars as they switched to the CVT and there was weird issues with it. They still use that same CVT but it does seem to have gotten much better through the years. The 2016 and newer model years also had a engine design change so it made more power which seemed to help with the shifting of the CVT. As always these are just my opinions and experiences. I had a 2014 and went through the issues with the transmission.
  4. My opinion, so take it for what its worth, as long as you are running quality fuel its not needed. I use top tier fuel which has the advantages of more detergents to keep the system clean. So many times they put that in the manual to get you to take it to service when its not really needed. The dealers love it because they can upsell you on products thats not needed.
  5. Just wanted to add this as it comes up in searching and somebody else asked this exact question. On the 2019 LS' that lower light under the turn signal are DRL's. On the LT and up versions those lower lights gets replaced by a LED strip but serves the same purpose for the DRL's. The only version of the 2019 Spark that I can find that has true fog lights is the 2019 Chevy Spark Activ.
  6. From what I can tell thats not a fog light but part of the daytime running lights. The LT and up versions replace that lower part with a LED strip. It looks to me that the only model Spark in 2019 to have fog lights is the Activ version.
  7. Yes, Its in the manual or Google it. But if it didn't have a oil life indicator then you do it the way its been done forever. Go by mileage.
  8. Your car is totally different the what we got in 2014. Probably not a lot of help here but the first place I would look is to see if you have a faulty wheel speed sensor.
  9. Unfortunately the latest post in the EV Forum here is from last October. That is why I suggested elsewhere. Hopefully the other link you provided will help.
  10. You might have to look elsewhere. Very few if any EV owners here and this sight doesn't see much traffic anymore.
  11. Coolant temp on these cars are from 190-210. So what you are seeing is pretty normal as far as temp goes. But the code does lean towards something going on with the thermostat.
  12. Actually there wasn't. It fell under a customer satisfaction program and it was only good for about a year. And also it really didn't help any. I could tell no real difference after it was done. The AC just sucks in the 2013-2015's.
  13. Just start searching Google. You could probably throw something together yourself using piping and silicone connections.
  14. Could just need a recharge, could be a leak, or even a blend door that isn't functioning right. I will tell you the air in the 2014's really never worked right. It didn't in mine anyway and it was a very common complaint. I cringed when summer time came and was really glad to see it go. Especially when summer hit. You will just have to take it somewhere and have it looked at. Unless its under warranty I would try to avoid the dealer and find a reputable repair shop.
  15. So here is the recall info. Looks like it effected some Sparks from 2009 to 2010. The US didn't get the Spark till 2013. https://www.product-reviews.net/chevrolet-spark-clutch-pedal-recall-for-uk/
