2008 Chevrolet Colorado Engine Q&A

  • Why does my Colorado’s check engine light come on when I start it? It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. This is just your Colorado testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Are Chevrolet Colorado engine noises bad? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Chevrolet Colorado. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage my Chevrolet Colorado engine? Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving the engine while still in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.
  • Is it okay to put water in my Chevrolet Colorado radiator? An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Colorado when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
