We purchased a 2015 Chevy Sonic 1.8l in June of 2015 .
I then learned , it had a timing belt . I was kind of ticked , figured a chain would be less maintenance .
But having done some research , the belt may not be that bad of a solution . DIY , looks like I could do it & not that expensive if I ordered the parts from RockAuto.com .
When the miles roll around , any recommendation as to the bran of kit to use ? Gates or Dayco ? Is the Delco kit worth the extra money ?
The water / coolant pump is exterior of the front plastic cover , so , I would only replace it if it was defective .
Thanks ,
