I took my brother to the local GM dealership today to get some parts. It was an interesting experience to say the least. I had to end up correcting the guy twice (Its a sad day when I know more than the guy behind the counter :lol: ) First problem; I asked for the price of a pcv vlave . He said they dont make pcv valves for the 2.2l. I had to explain to him that I replaced it when I first got the car. The next problem was the oil pump driveshaft. o ring. I asked for the part and he was like " Ive seen em on the back of 6 cylinders but never on a four cyclinder. Then I had to tell him that atleast on my 6 cylinder it was oon the front but on the 2.2l its on the back of the motor. :roll: The final straw was the vapor canister. I asked him for the filters . He tells me there arent any. I didnt even bother to tell him that I picked up a breather element for it before and that Advance Auto said they would have to order the other filter (the charcal I presume). Anyways he said I would have to order the entire canister as a unitto the tune of $74.73. Thats a pretty penny for some charcoal and a plastic can!
