Took my car into the dealer for IC Pump and engine noises
a weird sewing machine sound from motor. I was surprised to find out the IC pump was covered under warranty. Anyways, the main reason I took it it was the sound my engine makes sometimes. I heard it a few months back, I was parking my car and it sounded like someone dumped quarters into the engine, very loud. I assumed coupler so I replaced that. Then a few weeks later it does it again. Noticed it was only at idle, and after the car gets hot, sits for 20-30 mins, then I take off again. Well I assuimed it was the timing chain tensioner, and since I only had a month of powertrain warranty left, I better get it in.
Dealer couldn't duplicate the noise, and they said GM wouldnt let them just replace parts like that. The IC pump was covered on the power train warranty though. GM price on the pump was $404.
So I got a new pump, still not sure what made that noise, and the dealer didn't have a problem working on my State 3 Cobalt.
