    P215B - first trouble with our Spark

    You can believe that. I don't. I don't think a 'driving style' or 'slick conditions' ever sets a Fault Code. What would the fault be exactly?

    P215B - first trouble with our Spark

    Losing traction turns on the TC Light to tell you the system is helping you out. This is a routine function that can happen all the time if it's slick out. It will not set a Fault Code. I didn't look for your code and since it's gone, forget about it.(y) It's been said that a week 12V battery...

    Can I flat tow 2016 Spark EV?

    Right, there's an ATF pump and cooler for the Drive Unit , for a reason. You should spring for the dolly and only spin the back wheels.

    New wheels saving 34lbs

    It's less 'Unsprung' weight, so theoretically there may be better performance on rough roads when at the limit of speed and traction... Racer Boi stuff. :lol: But as for better acceleration.... Good luck trying to measure that... 8-)

    Range and battery health for used Spark EV

    With warmer weather here, I suspect all this GOM numbers will be on the rise. But they still depend on how the car was driven the last few times. I know this isn't a definitive answer. Ideally if you could do a ~50 mile test drive each one starting out with it topped up, that would tell you for...

    California HOV Sticker Removal

    Use both. Slowly peel off the sticker while heating the area near where you are trying to begin. Pull vertically slowly. Try not to heat the parts already released. Any remaining adhesive should be removed with an adhesive remover. I have no experience with Goo Gone. 3M sells an 'Adhesive...

    Battery warranty advice for 2014 Spark

    Winter has been horrible lately. Depending on where you live,,, hang in there. Spring is on the way! As they say, "It gets better!". How about on my Bolt, I saw on the app: 100% SOC, 129 miles range. This is after a few days of pushing thru snow and negative to single digits temps. And a...

    SPAM posts Taking Over SparkEV Forum

    Pawl, I sold my Spark EV. Somehow I became one of the moderators. (Looks good on a resume! :roll: ) Would you like to help delete and block the spammy spammers? I think I should drop out because I won't be checking in as much. Also, you can turn off the email notification function.

    Thinking of selling in the new year...

    Mine had the exact same title issue, it was called a Buy Back "due to customer satisfaction", not a lemon, as I remember. Some how, bought it and financed thru a local Ohio bank the dealer recommended, because my Credit Union would not finance a 'lemon' car. But then a few months later my CU...

    California HOV Sticker Removal

    Kind of late,,, sorry. You need the hair dryer to warm up the decal and adhesive. A finger nail to get it started, then patience pulling it slowly at 90° to the surface. Any remaining adhesive on the paint can be safely removed with 3M Adhesive Remover. It's pricey, especially if you only need...

    My Chevrolet App

    Did you see above? The Spark EV used 3G cellphone tech and that is not supported anymore. Sorry. You'll have to be near the car and use the key fob to do a 'Precondition'.

    HELP need a HEADLINER!

    Can't see how the headliner is different on either versions. Good luck! Interior / reupholstery shops could probably do a recover of what you have.

    How long does 12v battery last?

    My '14 is going strong on the original 12V battery!! I used to put a 2A batteryminder on it for a few days every few months. This charger has a 'Desulfation' function and I believe that helps with the life of the battery. I'm in the process of selling it. Who needs an Out of Warranty 2014...
