Hey all, way back when I bought a brand new HHR Panel, and then 6 years later I traded it in on a Camaro. The Camaro didn't last long (Dang 3.6 V6) and I've missed the ol panel ever since...

So, today I found another 08 Panel, this one a 2LT with a sunroof and only 139k on the clock. Got it cheap, and it's nice and clean. Needs a few maintenance items and a windshield, but overall very happy to be back in an HHR

 

mongo! Welcome back, nice lil red wagon you have, some chrome accents, aluminium 2LT 17” rims very cool.

what maintenance work are you thinking it needs?

 

Has a crack in the windshield, exhaust leak at the manifold which is lighting up the CEL with a code for the oxygen sensor, needs 2 front tires and the right rear TPMS sensor (Probably doing a full set of tires and sensors.)

I got it cheap because the gauges and DIC weren't working, but reseating the fuse and relay fixed that.

 

Welcome back, man...

 

Very nice! Where the heck did you find that in SE Michigan? I’ve been lurking ever since I bought mine in August. Hopefully no major rust, but I’ve noticed HHRs really don’t rust out like some cars (ahem, Ford, Honda).

 

Which fuse and relay and where
Details please.

 

Exhaust leak, could be the flex pipe.

 

It was walking distance from my house ( a little over a mile, I live in the country) about 10 miles west of Port Huron. Popped up in my Facebook feed. They were asking $4000, then dropped to $3000. This is all the rust I could find.


The exhaust leak is likely the flex pipe, it is in that area. It's not really loud yet.

The fuse and relays are in the underhood fuse box, I just pulled all the relays and the fuse (#4 IIRC) for the BCM. I also need to fix the self cancel on the turn signals, I already found the thread on that.

 

What code is coming up?

P0010. Looks like I need to work on the cam positioner.
