Questions About 2012 Chevrolet Volt Engines

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Volt? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your Volt testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why does my Chevrolet engine sound different? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Chevrolet Volt engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can be traced back to 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 Volt engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.
  • Is it okay to put water in my Chevrolet Volt radiator? While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your Volt radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • What can cause the engine in my Volt to suddenly stop? If your Volt car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
