The new AVEO seden is nice ... the only thing that turn me off is. It has only a Single Fan to cool off the radiator ... What I have heard is some of them complain that the fan may over work if you are caught in a Long Jam. Some have over heating issue because of it. This is why I turn to Hyundai Verna and KIA RIO instead .. in the end I choose KIA RIO ... Value for Money ..

I see...is it possible to install another fan to overcome this overheating problem? oso, it is using the same engine from the previous model?

[Sam_wong_cm]

Ya ... I ask the SE and that standard answer is ... 1 fan is good and no issue want la ... Any changes will affect the warranty lo ... SO what do you think?

[Tony76]

damn i hate the threat of voiding warranty. i heard it is thirsty too.

The old Aveo has 2 fans. In late 2004 onwards, it came with 1 fan. The new sedan uses the same engine as the old one so it has 1 fan.

 

I'm driving the old Aveo so I have 2 fans.

 

The Aveo is a DOHC. Not helped by VVT at all. Only a variable length intake. The reason it is thirsty is because it needs to be revved hard to get that power up due to the fact that it is a DOHC. DOHC engines have poorer low end torque compared to SOHC engines.

 

So unless you can be judicious in gearing and the accelerator, you cannot achieve the 12.5km/L.

[Tony76]

Sure about that??

[Tony76]

wow u r mentioning M/T rite?

[Genie47]

Yes. It is a 1.4L car. You are losing a lot with an AT. In fact any car up to 1.6L will benefit from MT.
