  My 2003 does the same thing. Lift up on the wiper blade lever (as if you were trying to clean your windshield) then turn the key and crank the car. Then release the lever. Starts every time.

  If you have a rear sump pan, you want the dipstick in the rear of the pan. If you have a front sump pan, you want the dipstick to go through the front of the block. Thanks.

  Seems I have been doing it a lot since I moved from the city. However, from time to time in town, friends vehicles seemed to always be in the back yard and in the dirt of course. I am still in the process of moving to a better place and it has some concrete. IN hindsight I should have poured a slab some years ago. Thanks for the comment!

  I've considered having mine done even though the manual says it isn't necessary with regular use. I only hesitate because of how doing a change can cause issues later if you go too long on the current fluid without changing it. Mine currently has just over 98,000 miles on it. How many miles were on the fluid in your HHR?

• 
  @SteveAZ71124 күн бұрын

  Probably 300000. The original owner all but drove it into the ground. If you are looking for more information. I suggest calling a dealership and asking them how often they recommend a fluid change on a 2.4l or 2.2l engine. Thanks.

  I have an HHR. It's crazy how my key got stuck. I play music using my phone into the car's 1/8" plug. I turned off the car and music console but forgot to shut down or unplug my phone. It was still plugged in and playing music on the phone, but since the car was shut off it wasnt playing over the car speakers. And it drained the car battery dead, even with the car turned off. Luckily I carry a portable charger everywhere.

  Just had an alternator die after 7 years from last replacement. Had a belt from that last replacement too. Replaced them both cuz who is going to reuse a 7 year old belt? My new belt required a second person to slip it on while I cranked the tensioner and it barely cleared with the tensioner fully cranked!!!! No way in hell I could have done it alone.

• 
  @SteveAZ7112 ай бұрын

  I had no trouble with my belt. I hope your belt is not too tight. I always check the belt size with the old one too make sure. GM would not require 2 mechanics just to change a belt. Sorry you had that difficulty as I know new belts can be quite stubborn to put on while holding back pressure on the tensioner.

  Use a 32mm socket and extension to remove it. Large vice grips maybe. An 1.25 in. socket may work as well. If you happen to break the cap...Amazon sells a replacement. These caps can be cross threaded and very difficult at times so take your time when installing or removing them. Just sayin. Yours is probably just on tight. Keep the threads clean for a better installation. Hope this helps. Thanks! link...amzn.to/49yJ0HW
