As long as you have the right vin on there I don't think they can.

But people are right, they can tell if you reflash the pcm past the stage 2 then back again...there's a counter of some sort. Who knows if they say anything, it's upto the dealer, but I'd assume they're going to get data from the pcm to diagnose what's wrong and when they do...it's billing time.

that sucks. hopefully they wont go into details with it. i didnt think they could track those types of things. i do have the stock stage 2 tune back on it. so we will see what happens... of course its going to the body shop monday to get fixed then from their its being towed to gm. i will deffinately keep yall posted with what happens.

Yeah, deff something is in the blower in the rotors if you can't turn the pulley no matter what. Shouldn't be a biggie though honestly. I'd just take the s/c off and check it out, not that big of a deal and s/c oil from gm is only $10-20 a bottle.

Your charger is alot easier to disassemble because its not 1 piece like my m45.

ssscs10

i see all kinds of knicks and scratch marks inside the blower and all over the throttle body. and there is nothing wrong with my filter. i dont understand what could have gotten inside of the blower like that. unless the senser fell apart. that would be the only way

charged_sunfire

Well honestly, take the blower off, get the peices out and put it back together. I had this happen to a friend and his meth nozzle somehow broke off and luckily it go into the rotors and not the motor and even with scuffs on the rotors it ran perfect.

They say that any knicks on the rotors will cause problems but in my experience's i haven't noticed any difference from my buddy's car since we sanded down the rotors real well, note the m45 rotors don't have teflon coating so im not sure about the m62

Literally...sounds like you got rocks in a can Did part of your intake filter break off or what? You need to pull the rotors to check out what's going on.

ssscs10

question is how... there is nothing wrong with my filter. nothing broke on it. only thing i can figure is a bearing broke... i wont be able to figure it out till i get it back from the body shop.

Dude let me know when you get her back and I'll make a trip down to help you tear the s/c apart. I've been dieing to take one apart anyway! LOL What did the insurance tell you about the parts. And where are you gonna get your new headlights?

ssscs10

they called me yesterday about the headlights and they ordered them from cobalt addiction. what sucks is that they are half the price as i paid for them. oh well. as soon as i hear something i will letcha know. i started pricing the tvs chargers. i wish i had the money. thats for sure

theneelster

Does anyone know if you do a complete rewrite of the pcm with hp tuners does that "reset" the pcm and show no rewrites?

EdCobaltSS

if they have the capabilities, it will show re-writes always. But honestly, i used to work for GM, and if there are no codes in the computer, they wont even bother looking into the pcm any further. Just bring the car in, and tell them something is wrong with the s/c because it won't spin, and I doubt they will even look into the pcm with their computers.

ssscs10

thats what i was planning on doing. i think i might take it apart and look into it myself. if i cant find anything wrong with it then i am going to bring it to gm. the dealership i use, they are complete idiots. they dont use torque wrenches to tighten things properly. they use impacts. i know this bc of the clutch and the s/c pulley they used both of them needed impacts and air chisels to get bolts off.

DaREDss

dam that sucks hopefully it gets waarantied

ssscs10

its gotta or else some hell is going to happen. then if all fails, i guess tvs will be in the very close but unwanted right now future

Brucesblack

good luck at the stealership , keep us posted !!

Scoot05RedSS

If they tell you it's not covered, I'm coming down there with you to hand out some of the wrath of Cobalt drivers!! I hope everything works out!

ssscs10

now i have another problem. its one thing after the other. the body shop took the belt off the car to drive it around, and now it comes back today and the belt tentioner is broke into 2 pieces. you can see where the idler pulley has some marks on it that i know wasnt there. and the body shop denies breaking the tentioner. if i would have broke something on it i dont mind buying the part again but when a professional breaks something and i still gotta come out of pocket, thats when i get pissed.

theneelster

Broke it trying to depress it with something other than an open end wrench...probably used a pry bar or something...hammer em! At least it's a relatively cheap part...under 100 bucks.

ssscs10

where do i have to get one?? i couldnt find one on the internet

theneelster

**** dude...you are surrounded by douchebag mechanics. First off, why did the autobody shop even touch the tensioner for body work? Second, they broke it they need to replace it.

Shitty condition though.

ZZP one is different but the tensioner pulley you have should still be okay even if it's semi gouged as long as the belt sits properly.
