Common problems and easy repairs on a 2006 Corvette
The 2006 Chevrolet Corvette is a relatively easy car to maintain, and a good choice for the average car owner. Changing the cabin air filter is easy to do, as you only have to remove one cover for access to the filter. This cover is easy to remove. The engine air filter is no problem to access, as you only have to disengage a few fasteners for reliable access to the filter. These fasteners are easy to disengage. Checking the power steering fluid level is easy to do, as the fluid reservoir is easily visible in the engine bay.
Some things are more problematic on the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette. Changing the front fog light can be a problem, as you will have to peel back the wheel well lining in order to access. This lining can grow tight to the vehicle over time and be tough to peel back. You will have to remove the bulb housing in order to replace the tail light. This will require the removal of a torx bolt, and you may not have a tool readily available to complete this. To change the front turn signal bulb, you will have to reach through the wheel well lining, and remove fasteners and a cover for access. This will require some tools.
