What are some common issues or maintenance tips for a 2001 Chevy Malibu? I’m looking for advice on troubleshooting problems, regular upkeep, and any specific concerns to be aware of for this model year.
I had a 2001 Malibu and can share a few tips. First off, keep an eye on the transmission fluid—it can be picky and might need checking more often. The intake manifold gasket can leak, so look out for coolant spots under the car. Regular oil changes and checking the serpentine belt will save you headaches. Oh, and if you hear a squeak, it might be the power steering pump needing a top-up.
