2010 Chevrolet Malibu 1LT - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Can i get a bigger engine put in my car
Yes you can. The new engine must be emission compliant with your states regulations. Bear in mind that if a different engine is installed there might be additional costs involved other than the cost of the engine and basic installation. If you plan on doing it yourself do some research into engine swaps. You might have to reposition engine mounts. You need to make sure the new engine mounts properly with yout transmission. If you plan on paying to have it done the shop you take it to will know all this. If you are looking for more power it might be cheaper to have your engine modified. You wont have to buy another engine.
What is the reason for Panasonic Stereo (MALIBU CAR) one side sound not coming
Are you an electronics engineer.
Do you have all the test equipment.
Can you read wiring schematics.
If the answer to any of the above is 'No', you will have a hard time. You can check the 'Balance' knob setting first as you may have all the sound directed to one side. Check the wiring connector on the back, but that is about it.

How replace trunk lid torsion bar 2005 malibu
There are two rods, one has rubber on it. I just replaced the one with rubber on it. Looking at the one rod that was still in place, you can see it mirrors the rod you are going to replace, the placement is just opposite the one that is in there. The rod has a left end that is a square "C" shape, and the right end has a "V" bend right before the end. First position the rod above the seat release cables (if you have them) then position the "V" end near the inside right top of the trunk. Then slide the left "C" end into one of the three slots (I used the bottom slot). Leave it loose so it can rotate with just the tip in the slot. Slide the rod to the right so the "V" is above the spring clip (don't clip it in yet). The right side and the left side of the "V" has to fit into the tabs underneath and inside the top of the trunk. Compare to the left side to see how it fits. Once in place, you can then lower the "V" down to the clip and snap it over the bottom tip of the "V". These steps are easier if the trunk is propped not fully open. I had someone lower the trunk part way while I lay on my back inside the trunk, and I used a small open end wrench to bend the rod slightly to get it to fit into the tabs. The final step is to position the left side of the rod so the torque will hold the lid open. I used a small open end wrench, placed it over the tip in the slot and rotated CW upward until straight part of the rod slid over the hook to hold it in place. This last step had me concerned that I could bend or break the rod, but I went slowly and carefully and was quite happy when it snapped into place and held the lid open.
How to replace a thermostat on a 2012 malibu ltz 3.6l?
You need to partially drain the cooling system. THe thermostat housing is located on the driver side of the engine block above the transmission bell-housing. Just follow the big radiator hose on the driver side and it will lead you to the housing.THere are the radiator hose,two heater hoses, and another hose leading to the surge tank that you will need to remove from the housing. 3 bolts secure the housing to the block- remove these bolts and remove the housing. You can now remove and replace the thermostat and install a new gasket- i would recommend coating the gasket in SIL-Glyde or Vaseline. Torque the bolts to 89inlb, re connect the hoses. Refill cooling system with antifreeze and burp all the air out.
2014 Ecotec. How to fix service brake assist, service stabilitrak, & ABS indicator light?
First get your braking system checked by a qualified mechanic! The light comes on because the electronics have detected an issue. You might also need to get the vehicle plugged into a diagnostic system or an obd2 scanner to get the Diagnostic Trouble Codes, (DTC's). Get prices at 3 or 4 different garages as prices for diagnostics can be VERY different! Once repairs are done some dash warning light will turn off automatically.
