New 2000 Impala Owner - few problems

[RyanbabZ71]

Well today I got a new vehicle


2000 Chevy Impala, goldish/beige color, 3400 engine, power/heated leather seats, 51K miles.


Few Questions


1. Anyone ever replace the clear plastic that covers the instrument cluster? How did you do it? The one in this car is cracked


2. I have the compass/temp display. The compass works fine but the temp reads 0C. Anyway to recalibrate/fix this?


3. Anyone ever hear a gurgling noise coming from the coolant tank? I was told this is just the tank refilling. I have never heard any other vehicle do this. It did it once tonight out of the 5 times I drove it.


Anything else to be aware of? Its a very nice car. Drives great and is very quiet.


Thanks

on the gurgling sound its just the coolant running back into the overflow tank. check the temp gauge the next time you shut it off and it makes the gurgling sound.

my car does that gurgling sound..it's nothing to worry about at all. It's just the coolant simply running back into the overflow tank. To calibrate the temp...it should be in your owners manual, if not, i have disconnected my battery and it started working again. On the cracked display, I would go on ebay and buy a new display. I think you can get them for under 100. Let me know if you have any questions.
