1999 Chevrolet Cavalier review from North America

"Cheap"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I bought this car because my previous car, a Chevrolet Cavalier, was very good until I hit a fire hydrant. I bought the car for $600. I did some work due to body damage already on the car.

I changed the thermostat because it was overheating all the time.

Then on a trip, the head gasket blew because the car overheated in the middle of a Canadian winter.

I repaired the head gasket, and now it has a rough idle and the antifreeze is always going low. (I add about 4 litres every 5 weeks.)

The cap for the radiator will fall apart if I take it off wrong. I now put it on every time using white grease, because the o-rings on the cap will stick and I end up breaking the rad cap every time.

I have three codes that come up on the car due to the rough idle. I am currently looking into that. I just bought o-rings for the injectors, because when I start the car, it has a heavy fuel smell.

I would buy another Chevrolet, but with lower kilometers.
