I hear that! Second week of April and it was 24degF out this morning.. I live closer to Buffalo NY. Best of luck with that diesel.

Old thread here and the OP is probably long gone. Just to add to what @SheeB said with the book way of doing it, you should get closer to 4.5qts of fluid per drain. I've probably done 5 drain/fills on my 2021 1.5T 6AT. 4.5qts every time. I very much doubt the 1qt situation is effecting the...

I had to refer to a tear down video I saw on one of these 1.6 diesels awhile back. Fast forward to ~27min or so to see the oil pan. Based on those bolt holes on the bellhousing side, it does look like either the engine has to come out or the trans, or both! Note what looks like an oil pan...

Seems to correlate with turbo noise. Any loose clamps or air leaks will cause instant issues with these, so I don't think it's that. If it's running great with no check engine light. I'd drive on. 10K miles sounds like she needs to be driven a lot more. 2023 was the first year for the LSD...

Timing chain on the LYX 1.5 That's nice low mileage for a 3yr/old vehicle. I wouldn't exceed 5K miles on your oil changes. I do mine between 4-5K. The LYX 1.5T and 6 speed AT are pretty reliable.

My 2021 1.5T AWD reads weird on the stick after I fill it with the 5.3 quarts. Sometimes it's closer to the add mark. Sometimes not. All I do now is fill it with the ~5.3 quarts and then I check the dipstick again a day or 7 later, it stays closer to the full dot. I've run nothing but AC...

It sure is, if you are willing and able to DIY. On a similar note, my daughter called me just yesterday with the $1300 estimate for pads and rotors all the way around on her 2022 Nissan Frontier pickup. I almost passed out.. She lives 750 miles away. I do know it's had a horrible...

To troubleshoot further, you'd have to start with a full code scan. How many miles on your 2018? Do you live in the rust belt? The only electronics associated with the AWD system are back by the rear differential. There is an AWD control module back there and a wiring harness that could...

What you are describing is the standard theft deterrent system that GM puts on all of it's vehicles. It doesn't work like an aftermarket or higher end system. There are no shock sensors, etc. I believe on some of them, the horn will blow if a door gets manually unlocked w/out opening the...

Like said, to pursue anything with GM, you have to start at the dealer level and this will not be easy on a 6-7yr/old vehicle, regardless of having just bought it unfortunately. I feel for ya. Stuff like this is maddening. I've battled with other make models over the years with paint issues...

That sucks! Were you able to replace it yourself? I know dealers love to charge a grand plus for this job on various GM models. I don't think it's too horrible to DIY on the 1.5T, based on poking around on mine, but I've never seen the job done.

To me, the takeaway here is the P2534 code: "Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P2534 stands for “Ignition Switch Run/Start Position Circuit Low.” The code is set once a module detects a voltage that's below the manufacturer-specified value. When you turn on your ignition, battery voltage is...

If you're using Google Maps as your GPS, it will announce "stalled vehicle ahead" as well as "police reported ahead".

Absolutely not on a 2019. Like said, I don't think the 2025's even have this thankfully.

Could it be you have the dash back-lighting dimmer setting, set too low? How does the dash lighting look at night?
