My 2013 Spark just broke 100k miles and for the second time I'm going to have to replace the coolant overflow reservoir for the second time because of a leak. I've been reading on the forums and this seems to be a pretty common issue people are experiencing. The first time I had it replaced was within the first 50k miles and it was not covered under my warranty. Shouldn't this be a recall of some sort? Or are we just expected to replace this park every 50k miles or so? Sure...the cost isn't major, but if it went unnoticed it could cause some serious engine damage.

Parking in the Florida sun, car interior gets hot. Bought window tinting film panels from this source on eBay...for $26.97 delivered free. http://www.ebay.com/itm/131568095657?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT All panel are precut to fit your Spark windows exactly. If you order, be sure to specify your exact model and year. The material was good quality. The trick is to prepare your own solution correctly. Too little shampoo, and the panels are hard to slide around in exact position. Too much shampoo in the mix will make a weaker bond and too many -
Following the Chilton transmission removal instructions we drained the lubricant out of the manual transmission before pulling it. I found the correct manual transmission lube for GM manual transmissions, but what is the capacity of the 2014 spark manual transmission? It appears we did not actually need to do that, but we just blindly followed the book and since I have this out already, I don't want to put the original fluid back.

Hello everyone, I plasti dip my chevy badges yesterday and I want to plasti dip the badge on the steering wheel. I looked at the steering wheel and I couldn't find the usual two screws at the bottom of the steering wheel that most cars have. Does anyone know how to remove the airbag ? Thanks.

I got rear ended by an f150 today, nobody hurt. Wondering what you guys think the prospect of this being repairable? Here's the details; - back door crunched and won't open - rear bumper crunched - back lights broken - panel where the gas cap is damaged a bit (bent and paint chipped) - trunk pushed in a bit - rear door seal not sealing because door is mangled and frame seems out of whack That's about it. What do you think, fixable? What's a 2013 spark with 40k worth anyways? cheers!

I have a used '14 LT and recently took a look at the rear suspension. Currently I only have coil springs installed. Wondering if that is supposed to be that way. Are the rear struts an OEM addition to the 2LT or should I be taking it back to the Chevy dealer that sold me the car and try to get this fixed under some warranty issue (I still have about 6K miles left on the warranty and even though I bought it used would it be worth the try). Anyone out there already have rear shocks already installed or is this an anomaly exclusive to my car? Suggestions anyone?

Hi all, New Spark owner here in the northeast, looking to get some winter tires on this car asap. I found a set on Craigslist, nice snow tires mounted on 14" steelies that came off a 2012-2015 spark. My question is does anyone know if a 14" rim will fit and clear everything on the new 2016,2017 sparks that come stock with a 15" wheel now.

Well, it's goodbye for my Spark. I liked it while I had it, and I drove it proudly for 48000 miles. I traded it for a Chevy Volt. I've always liked small cars, but II also like tech type stuff and I've been eyeing a Volt for awhile and finally pulled the trigger. I'll miss my Spark, and the forum....

Hey Everyone! I am planning to install a Infinity BassLink in my 2015 Chevy Spark LT. I have a cheap Soundstream headunit with RCA outs for the sub. I understand I will need to run a power, ground, remote, remote turn on and RCA cables. The actual setup is not to confusing to me. My problem is-- I have never done anything other than a headunit/speaker install in a car. I am guessing the wires will run through/under the trim and carpets but I am not sure how to actually do this. I'll be running from the driver side of the trunk to the stereo in the dash. Does anyone have any tips or pictures

Heyyyyy!! Looking at the above two, what can you tell me regarding maintenance and these prices at those mileages? I don't know the trim spec for the 2013. I just know they're both automatics. I know how to fix a car, just looking to get something that will require little attention and that's automatic for the gf. Looks like the pre 100k maintenance schedule is pretty basic. Biggest job appears to be spark plugs, lol. These things have timing chains? Thanks!

So, I got this amazing set of 4 actuators, a receiver, and two clickers off amazon for about 25$. Theyre really great and highly reccomended, but they are too big to fit into the back doors. (Find them here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KTNO1WQ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_Yl1pxb5MBH1PA) they dont really come with instructions and the mute and ringer buttons (as they display themselves as) either do nothing or the wrong command (which isnt too surprising, I only have it connected to power). But I got the lock and unlock buttons working right. Does anyone know of any actuators that will fit in the ba

Just got a new Spark, pretty fast and good. I've race it against a tuned Ford Ka and a Fiesta ST. The car wasn't so slow against them. I want to know any mod that any of you have done to the new spark. Any suggestions?

I drive a 2013 Spark LS Whenever I run my heater, it dries my car out. My throat goes DRY and it affects my day. Whats going on? Is this something normal with new cars? (My last car was a 2002 CRV.) Is it something normal with the Spark? Am I able to fix this? The heater works fine otherwise.

I drive a 2013 Spark and I wanted to make my wheels a bit more customized. I ended up deciding to add vinyl instead of changing the rims out. I will try to keep this post updated as I continue this project. I don't mean to be a tease, but I will not be posting the final design until I am finished and satisfied. So far, I'm close to finishing the first Vinyl Prototype. Here has been my progress so far: Step 1, I took some paper, put it against my wheel and tried carving the paper to get a basic idea of what the design will look like with very general sizes and very general shapes. I edite

I bought a interior light kit thinking I'd be able to install this by myself. I, unfortunately, am very untrained in working on cars. (Expect I know next to nothing). I have a volt meter (I'm not sure the actual name). I would like to know a dummy's guide on how to find the wires I need and/or what fuse to use. I have a Chevy Spark LS and I need a 12v source for my lights. I've been looking at a lot of references and I haven't been able to find out where the wires are and what I should do to them. I don't want to blindly strip wires or whatever (which is what I am understanding needs to happ
