Coolant leak somewhere
#21
Have you already checked the coolant level? (Maybe discussed in another thread?)
That noise sounds like chains, but it could be some sort of valve noise too. I wouldn’t make any final decisions until removing the valve cover.
How much leak? Lots of water pumps are replaced unnecessarily because of a little dribble. If you wind up doing the chains, if there’s any question about the water pump you might as well replace it, but make it a good one.

This was your first post.
I asked....
and you say this.
You seem to be confused.
The heater does not seem to work either. Could that be related?

Fan should turn on at about 219F off at about 180F, only run after shutdown if the temp is veeeery high. Fan should run if AC is on.
SS might have different temps, but the proper 180F t-stat dictates the 180F turn off, its job is to keep the temp ABOVE 180F.

Ok, but remember, he doesn’t know the Ecotec 2.0 like we do, the different sprockets! The water pump whine from the balance shaft chain tensioner ratcheting to tight! The front guide upper bolt and the ZZP new front guide. You can’t just jump in cold feet, but you can ask us questions and we’ll tell you what to look for and what to expect when you do the job.
