Left for vacation the other day for the mountains of Vermont. Normally get about 30 mpg highway on flat ground. With the rooftop carrier and a kayak, mpg went down to about 26 which isn't as bad as I had anticipated. What really surprised me though is when we unloaded and went up a few steep...

This car had it's clutch replaced last summer, and in December started having "shifting problems". That was how my neice described the problem. When I tried to drive it, the problem seems to be that the clutch is now failing to release completely. I can start in neutral and get it in gear, but...

Gave my 97 SL2 manual to my daughter. Shifter stopped working. She and her BF think they have isolated the problem, but need to know what to call the part so she can call parts houses/dealers. Here is her description: a nickel-sized black plastic cap that holds the hook on the knob at the...

I have parts for 2004 quad it only has 45 miles on car

I need motor mounts for my 94 SL2 (dogbone mounts). I am comparing twistec ($80. a pair) to stock mounts. From what I have read, the twiscecs will not dampen the engine vibration like the stock mounts will. On the other hand, my mounts are already pretty worn and it doesnt vibrate al that bad,...

Saturn fans will be saddened to hear that the brand is about to be history.

My wife and I are thinking of purchasing a used L300 wagon with 37000 miles. The car looks to be in perfect condition. It also appears to have been flat towed behind an RV because of the hookups on the front of the car. The dealer is asking 11888 for the car. Does this seem to be a good price? ...

My 2002 saturn vue has a light that come on and off at will.I scanned it for codes with a friends scanner and it shows no codes or pending codes. I was told the light may come on at a certain mileage and can be be shut off with a simple reset procedure. Can anyone help with this?

My friend has a 2006 Saturn Vue V6 Automatic 4WD. He's towed boats and trailers before, but this weekend hauling a u-haul trailer everything worked fine till when stopped to unload he turned on the emergency flashers. (It was a U-Haul installed hitch he'd had for years) Didn't think anything...

99 SL2, AT, just under 130,000 miles. Recently has become difficult to start. Engine cranks fine, sometimes fires immediately and runs perfectly, but about 80% of the time it will fire immediately and either die within seconds, or run very rough for ten to fifteen seconds. When it dies, it's...

Hey, I have just purchased a 93 Saturn SC2 DOHC. I only paid 700 so I expected some glitches, but the previous owner didn't mention anything about it overheating. I took it to a MIDAS and they tested it and put about 350 dollars in it to stop it from overheating and it is still doing it. Here...

My daughter has a 1993 Saturn SL2. She has just moved to Cleveland from California. I'm sure this newsgroup has posted articles from time to time about the advisability of snow tires on a Saturn but I can't find any just now or anything very good with a Google search. A search of the tire...

The invoice describes the pads as part # AZBP1830M, Midas VSD Metallic B, $49.99. The service tech said I would notice some brake noise. I thought he said...

I did not see this posted here yet. On Friday June 5th, Saturn Officially made the announcement that Penske Automotive Group will buy Saturn. Details are being worked out and the finalization shall be in the late Summer. GM has offered to continue to make all models with exception of the Astra...

I've got a white SL-2 with tons of black dots all over it - I thought tree sap; my mechanic thinks bug juice from gypsy moths last year. Our cars are parked under trees outside our house, and there is no way not to have them under trees where we are. We've researched and tried many products (well,...

I bought a 94 Saturn SL1. At 35,000 miles the alternator went out. At 60,000 miles that transmission went. Saturn graciously agreed that their transmission should last for more than 60,000 miles and replaced the tranny ($600) if I paid the labor ($800). Less than 60,000 miles later the...

Anyone have any clue what type of headlight bulbs they use and how to change one. The thing is so tight in there it looks damn near impossible. Brad
