THE MOST PERFECTLY MADE VIDEO in this TOPIC. Guaranteed. Thank you sir for the high quality video and step by step directions. Very, very, well made indeed!
Excellent narrative and camera work... We appreciate all the little helpful hints and tips along the way... Great clean job... After this video... I'm definitely not intimidated by trying this myself.. Thank you sincerely bro
Top of the line video on this repair. None better I've viewed. Thanks much. Unusually clean underbody. Indiana road salt is working on ours but still cleaner than most. Gotta use the pressure washer underneath as best you can here.
The first hose you remove at 1:33, does anyone know exact name or part number of that? I ran over a branch that shredded that tube badly. Need to replace, but having trouble determining for sure what to buy.
Well done! 5star install video. In my case in the coupes the metal fuel lines rot out on the driver side going up over the rear wheel. And I broke the 10mm bolt on the fuel filter. Slide the filter out don't bother touching the bolt 2 for 2 broke.
Same here. Twisted the end off the charcoal canister mounting bracket. Line broke into by the rusted through area by the wheel on removal. Got the full length factory line to replace. Unbelievably difficult path to fish that line through. Not much wiggle room. Considering cutting the new line and reassembling with compression fittings. Would be rust free new but hate to cut new lines on installation. If they made the line in sections and with flared fittings it would be much easier to install. An aftermarket company makes that very thing. Some have nylon flexible lines but won't fit in stock mounting brackets. I really wanted the OEM one piece line to work but on floor jacks it might be more trouble than it's worth.
@@retrotechandelectronics I see... So I've got a P0171 on my 2010 cobalt... But starts fine and doesn't stall.... No noise from fuel pump either... Probably not the pump then huh?
Time for a trip down to the Chevy dealer with the recall notice, old fuel pump, and new fuel pump receipt in hand. Your lawyer's business card stapled to the whole mess might help.
@@retrotechandelectronics You're right, you need to add your labor at whatever rate you charge for technical work, and fees for a rental car to drive to work while the Cobalt was out of commission due to their negligence. Seriously, time is money.
Muchas Gracias por explicar tan bien la forma de cómo hacer el trabajo de remplazar la bomba y el filtro se lo agradezco mucho Mil Gracias por su valiosa información 😊👍🏼
I took the Best way to work on our Colbalt. Drive it to Chevy and let them go to town. To my surprise, These car are Very inexpensive to maintain. I had A problem with the Darn Engine light. Purge Valve Canister was Junk. I must say that these car's are great. Ps. Great Video.
Is that the valve next to the engine? What did that cost to replace? I think I may have the same problem. How old was the car and how many miles on your car when this happened?
tip remove fuel line from fuel rail and put it in a gas can then remove fuel pump relay turn on the key and jump the two posts for the relay and the fuel pump will drain the tank into a can with no mess and fast
I had issues with my fuel filter leaking...Replaced it. Had issues with my Starter...Replaced it. Had issues with my Fuel pump, replaced it...Got a video also. Seems the cobalts didnt get good fuel system installation and parts upon being manufactured lol. I was wondering why my car had such poor mileage, I was thinking it was my old tires...But I kept smelling gas and it was getting stronger and stronger. Luckily it was just a fuel filter. But with this I'm glad there was no spark or nobody threw a cigarette out the window lol.
This was one of the Cafe cars in 08. The one with the base options that got max economy to offset the Chevy trucks in the GM total average that year. Its rare indeed.
Retro Tech & Electronics one thing I find odd, is that the Pontiac G6 which (to my understanding) is supposed to be more luxurious than the Cobalt/G5 doesn’t come with a cabin air filter, or an external fuel filter (it’s built into the sending unit/fuel pump, idk what it’s called)
I got the same problem. Only mine is a 2006. I will say the car has 135,000miles before the leak but this is unacceptable. GM has lost a life long consumer because they showed no remorse or consideration for me and my kids life!
Looks easier to me once someone gifts you with a well made video tutorial. Takes the guesswork out of the equation. I've done these 3 times already on other vehicles and each is assembled different. Gets easier every time. Especially when a quality TH-cam video like this shows exactly what to do and refreshes my memory. Worked on hundreds of cars over the decades and it's a constant learning process. Small challenges are fun when you're not in a hurry. Lol Old Chevy 350s were my favorite engine back in the 70s and 80s. Much easier to work on.
Take a break and try again. The right combination will seem effortless. Patience and finesse is better than a big hammer and high blood pressure. Many parts are fragile on vehicles today. Be gentle as possible. Works for me.

Great Job. Your video will help me to fix our Cobalt. What I also like are the German messages of the board computer. Danke sehr.
You are welcome!
Another great video. Much appreciated.
Thanks.
Thank you for the video, it helped me out!
You're welcome!
Thanks for creating this video. I found it to be very helpful. I did get my car working again.
You're welcome.
Excellent video and great usage of the repair manual
Wasn’t the chitons manual.
@@retrotechandelectronics Haynes?🤔😁
The 'Ville yup....
What is the primary thing that made you change the fuel pump? Is there a specific code for it?
The ends of the pump would crack and leak, it’s a know. Issue

Good work!! Enjoyed watching the repair.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
No rust underneath. I love it
Not a northern car
Excellent video helped me through the entire project.
Glad it helped.
Great video! I feel confident in doing this on my girlfriends SS now!
Good luck!

Should this be the same process as the ss model ?
It should be.
What year was this car, do you know if it will be the same on a 2009?
2008

Unless of course....... The fuel line is cracked...

It didn't look like too much going on with the car on ramps.

and a crap ton of recalls, but only in some states, i didnt understand that.
Was the filter itself leaking or was it leaking at connections? How old and how many miles on your car when this happened?
Chevrolet owes you some money.
Good luck collecting on that.
Great video thanks!

I cuanto cuesta una bomba de gasolina de este carro
great video. thanks for uploading it. i have the same issue.
No problem 👍
Very Nice
Thanks.
I think that car is missing an axle
True FWD...
The bulshit part is that the recall is not valid in Canada.
I got the same problem. Only mine is a 2006. I will say the car has 135,000miles before the leak but this is unacceptable. GM has lost a life long consumer because they showed no remorse or consideration for me and my kids life!
It was a poorly implemented recall
Difficult job, looks easy on the video.
The only difficult part was reinstalling the heat shield over the tank without a second person to support the passenger side of the tank.
