  1. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    I have a 2014 Gen 1 volt with 90k miles on it, maybe 75% electric. I just changed the oil on it. This weekend I went camping in Death Valley, CA. The approach into death valley along the 190 is very steep and long. The outside air temperature was only 45 degrees Farenheit so air temp was not...
  2. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    We just bought a 2013 Volt with 95k miles on it from a small dealer. We are pretty sure some of the coolant levels are low. 1. should we get it checked first to check for leaks 2. Should we add this coolant that is not from GM but says GM Approved.
  3. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    At operating temp the engine coolant is just slightly below the top mark and around the split in the tank when cold which leads me to wonder what the proper cold fill line is. Referencing the manual only says "Fill the coolant surge tank with the proper mixture to the cold fill line", with a...
  4. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    Finally found one that fits CTA 7090 via JB Tools Amazon USA. Fits & works perfectly made in Taiwan. Warning - The Gates 31431 etc. DO NOT FIT as the threads are incorrect and had to return. So glad I found one that works.
  5. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    Hi, my chevy volt 2014 gave me check engine light and my high electric battery was not charging. The chevy dealership/service provider says two things need to be replaced: #1. Coolant reservoir and sensor #2. hybrid coolant pump for heater. The cost is around $2500.00. I didn't budget this...
  6. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    Hi! I have a 2013 volt that is leaking coolant. There’s damage to a metal pipe underneath the body. I think it might be the coolant inlet hose? Coolant to the battery? They are metal. The dealer says this “ ENGINE COOLING COOLANT PIPES ARE DAMAGED AND RUBBING AGAINST THE OIL PAN AND COOLANT IS...
  7. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    Hey to anybody willing to read (thank you)! Please skip the first paragraph for the relevant information (just an intro since I'm new to the forum). I am a recently new Volt owner and new to the forum. I bought a 2012 Chevy Volt at 80k miles around a half a year ago as my first independent car...
  8. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    Had to replace engine radiator. Done and used 50/50 Dexcool with water. Not sure if it was de-ionized water. And topped off the battery and trans cooling systems with the same. So...I think I understand the problems and mistakes I made. But now... 1. Exactly what coolant do I need for each...
  9. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 2 Volt
    I have a two-month old 2019 Premier. Everything has been working great. Last Thursday night, I was getting ready to leave for a 4-day weekend trip. I was taking another (older) car to leave at the airport and so put the car cover on the new Volt and locked it. Battery was at about 40%...
  10. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    Long time reader, first time poster. I'm (slightly) overdue for my 5 year coolant systems PM (2013 Volt entered service April 2014, I bought "new" as a loaner with 1,100 miles in August 2014 for $26,500 before the tax credit :o) Love the car and am at 63,000 miles with my only service costs...
  11. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    I just hit 5 years and 47k miles on my 2014 Volt. I just brought it into the dealer for probably just my 3rd oil change. Outside of some issues with the charging port, brakes and creaking sounds from the axle I haven't spent much money on maintenance. I brought it in for the oil change and...
  12. Chevy Volt News, Reviews & Events
    I apologize in advance for the length of this post. But I'm hoping somebody can help, if not, at least my story will be a word of warning for others. I have a 2012 Volt with 110,000 miles. I’m a HUGE Volt enthusiast. I've convinced at least 12 other people to buy Volts, probably several more...
  13. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    Good afternoon, Friday we had our 2013 Volt serviced to get the Coolant heater control module replaced. Every startup hereinafter it's made a gurgling noise that I assume is the coolant. When I was talking to the service advisor less than an hour before the shop closed he made it seam like they...
  14. New Member Introductions
    Hi Everyone, I have been enjoying my 2012 Volt for the past year and added 15,000 miles and just had the "Service High Voltage Charging System" message appear. I'm not sure if the previous owner ever had the coolant purged of air and topped off. I noticed the battery coolant was low and was...
  15. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    So I had the "service high voltage charging system" back in April. Thanks to the info on here I took it into chevy and they told me my coolant was low but there were no leaks they could find so after topping me off and resetting the system I was back in business. Then yesterday I was driving...
  16. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    The manual states that we should check coolant levels once a month (page 11-3). I just looked under the hood of my one month old 2013 Volt. The coolant tanks look pretty full but I am not sure how low they should go before I need to put in more coolant. The problem is that I can't find the...
  17. Mechanical Systems - Chevy Volt
    I currently have two Volts that are brand new and one of them always seem to have a coolant smell when I walk by it in the garage. Don't smell anthing while driving just when it's parked. My other Volt does not have this issue. I took it to Chevy and they said to see if it goes away as the...
  18. Li-Ion Battery, Charging, Mgmt System - Chevy Volt
    Took my Volt in for the customer satisfaction campaigns this morning, and stopped by at the end of the day to check on the progress. While I was expecting to get my car back later tomorrow, I found out that it will probably be Friday. Apparently while doing the cooling system work, the...
