Cobalt This sporty compact was faced with the difficult job of replacing the popular Cavalier, but whether the base model, or the supercharged SS is chosen, is has made for a great replacement.

Default '07 Cobalt engine chatter.

It happens when I turn on the a/c . I've replaced the serpentine belt tensioner , I thought it was going bad . Still doing it . And it only happens above 25 mph. I can't find any answers anywhere else ! I've also replaced the a/c compressor - cheapest eBay one I could find . COLD a/c ! Just the chatter is bugging me . It just topped 300,000 mi. I had replaced the timing chain assembly - a year ago ? About that .

Did you replace the serpentine belt? When you replaced the compressor, did you also replace the clutch assembly?

did the last a/c compressor seize or replaced bc the noise? change the receiver drier/accumulator? did you perform proper oil balancing, refrigerant charging by weight?
