I've seen a lot of people asking here recently, "where is this..." "how do I do that...". Rather than solely relying on the kindness of strangers to post, pick up a Haynes or Chilton manual for your car at any auto parts store for around $10. It is amazing what you can do with one (along with...

I found very little comments on the net concerning the upper strut mounts. Will a Monroe strut mount perform and last as long as an OEM one when runnig a KYB GR-2 and H&R or Eibach springs (driving style is "hard on tires and suspension")? Any third party struct mount I should now off? Thanks,

Got this in the mail, so I thought I'd share it on my car & truck newsgroups...Talk about your ultimate dream find...sheesh... IYM >>How would you like to have bought this property? Imagine you're going to live in Portugal.

I am going to replace my o2 sensors F+R. I found the front easy enought and i know the rear is before the catalytic converter but is the rear accessible with just lifting the car? or is it underneath something? My haynes book does not show a picture or describe its exact location.

What is the procedure for changing the automatic transaxle fluid and filter on a 1993 SL2. Thanks, Bob

I just had an after market remote starter installed in my 2002 L200 Saturn. The unit is a Valet Remote Start System model 561r. When I use the remote start to start the care the air bag light stays on. If I shut the car off and start with the key the air bag light goes off. Did they hook...

I have a four door 1999 Saturn SL2 Automatic that just recently started having electrical issues. About two months ago was driving in extreme heat, shut off to fill with gas, and would not restart. After sitting in shade for about an hour (jump did no good battery fine) it restarted and made it...

I think that's what it is. 57,000 miles. Very good buy to me if I choose to get it. Any issues like the 1995 "oil burner" I've got now or something similar that would make me want to avoid this car? Joe in Northern, NJ - V#8013-R Currently Riding The "Mother Ship"

Hi all - several times in the past two weeks, I've had 2 indicators - looks like they are probably "low coolant" and "hot" judging by the symbols - flash red at me maybe 12 times in a row after starting down the road. I can't find my manual, so I went to refill my plastic coolant tank this...

How much fluid is used in the automatic transmission in a 2000 LS2? Also, does anyone know what the torque spec of the transmission pan bolts are? I've noticed that there are no service manuals for the L-series, only the S, i'm i missiing something, or is the correct? Thank you for your help.

Bought the car two years ago, at 69000 miles, now 86000 miles, bit noisey when i bought it but became much noisier. Removed valve cover, cam sprockets badly worn, valve timing still ok. Replaced all sprockets, chain, guides, adjuster, oil seal (crank), and oil pump o-rings. Ready to put chain...

IS THERE ANY WAY TO PUT A SYSTEM IN MY ION 1 WITHOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON?

Just got some wonderful news over the weekend - Seems that 6 months after I buy my Saturn, DCH which is some corporatation that has exclusive rights to the Long Island area, and owns all 5 Saturn dealers on Long Island, has decided to close all dealerships in Suffolk county, leaving 2 in...

Hi, I have a 1996 Saturn SC2, 100K miles. I need to replace two of my bulbs in the spoiler brake light. When I purchase the bulbs, do they come in those plastic holders, or do the bulbs pop out of the holders, and the bulbs sold seperatly? Also, how many oxygen sensors does my car have? I see...

I have a '96 SW1 and noticed today that the brake peddle is pretty low. So...anyone every replace one of those and can give me some advice. I notice that the ABS is bolted to the side but can't see how to seperate it from the master. Do you have to undo the 4 brake lines from the ABS and remove...

Hi, hoping for some advice. My daughters 1997 SC2 popped on it's check engine light this weekend. I went to Autozone for the code check and it came back with P0420 Catalytic Control Efficiency Below Threshold - Bank 1. Thoughts on what this really could be? I replaced the catalytic converter...

I am having an issue with the switch located underneath the clutch pedal in my Saturn. Or at least I think it's the switch. Here's the issue: Sometimes I turn the key and nothing happens, as if the clutch pedal isn't being pressed. If I work it enough times (sometimes enough is once or twice,...

I own a 2001 Saturn LW200. There is lamp that indicate the moment to change oil. I ask to the dealer how the system decide that it is time to change oil. He didn't really knows. Sometimes the sign is on a long time before the usual 5000km (and the reset was well done). I make my changing oil every...

On my 96 SL the "Service Engine Soon" comes on after a heavy rain. After the car runs awhile (I guess until the wet area dries) the car will restart with no trouble light. The leak is most likely a clogged drain allowing water to drip down the fire wall or other spot. Has anyone found and solved...

Hello, I have a 2000 LS2. Went to use the car the other day but I couldn't get the ignition switch to turn. The steering wheel is locked as well as the shift lever. I tried moving the steering wheel while turning the key but the key won't budge and I'm afraid of breaking the key off in the...
