Re: Let's talk about cars

That issue was resolved 12 months back. Chevy recalled all Bolts and upgraded the drive batteries.
They no longer spontaneously combust lol

No, not possible. You are prevented from engaging the drive system if it's still plugged in.

Re: Let's talk about cars

My poor wife (Bronx girl) had to the the UK test 20+ years ago when we lived in Plymouth.
She whined and whined about it, but passed first time, even at 7 months pregnant. Poor thing.

Re: Let's talk about cars

I'm not a professional, well not in car repairs.
The procedures are pretty straightforward, setting up the GM MDI2 diagnostic tool is the complicated part.
The genuine tool is $1400 or so, most...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Anyone into EV's?
Been driving a 2012 Chevy volt for about 18 months now.

Re: Let's talk about cars

It's pretty basic, but I do have a laptop to access some systems.
No fancy traction control, DSC that sort of thing.

Airbag lights come on occasionally, but are easy to diagnose and clear.

Re: Let's talk about cars

The engine management system runs the engine at regular periods for 5 mins or so to stop fuel sitting in the system for extended periods.
Haven't heard of issues with fuel sitting in the tank,...

Re: Let's talk about cars

With these crazy gas prices, I'm loving my Volt even more.
30 mile commute, no gas used :)
