Except for oil filters and other common consumables, I've had good luck over the years buying parts from Saturn dealers. But yesterday I got a new tensioner assembly for my 92 SL1 and was shocked at what they wanted: $141. A couple months before, I'd done the idler pully, and that was $40... plus...

I have a 1992 Saturn SL2 and I just put in an order for an EGR valve but it won't be in until next Wednesday. The old valve is stuck open and does not create enough vacuum to keep the car running while I put it into gear. It drives fine when I disconnect and plug the vacuum hose running from the...

I'm driving from Orlando to New York City and back in early August. I'm planning on attaching a magnetic fuel saver to the incoming fuel line, hopefully getting 5 mpg more on the highway. What else should I do to save gas and money for this trip? I own a 99 Saturn SL1 with 54,000 miles. Please...

My sun roof does not work on my Saturn. I have taken it to the dealer and I have extended warranty on my car. Since it is not the motor and it is the tracks they will not fix it under my warranty even though all is connect to the electrical parts that will have to be replaced. The dealership has...

Hi, Does anyone know where/if I can get one of those plastic models of a Saturn? The ones you put together. All I can find are mostly "Muscle" cars. I would like one of a Saturn. Thanks, Scott

My trusty 12-year old '92 SL2, which still seems to be running along fine had a recent injury lately. Last night, while hopping into my car after leaving a party, I leaned back a little on my seat, and heard a loud snapping sound... ....No it wasn't from my spine, but from the car seat. Something...

Does anyone know what the torque should be on the tensioner for the belt on a '95 Saturn w/air? The belt is squealing very bad and I was going to change the belt, but just thought I'd check the tensioner while the belt was off just in case the belt doesn't fix it, before purchasing a...

I've decided to try and install it myself based on advice received here. Is there an alternative place to purchase a headliner besides a dealership? I really don't want to pay 500% upcharge. They are asking ~$400 for this cheaply made headliner. I also need a piece for the window armature...

Would like to buy an aluminum wheel that will work on both my 97 Honda Civic hatchback and my 99 Saturn SC-1 3-door. For Honda is says +48mm offset and for Saturn it says 4-100. I have no idea what that means. Will same wheel work on both cars? Honda recommends 45-16 tire and Saturn...

Hello again; The ignition key 'sticks' when you try to take it out of the ignition. It feels like something clamps the key in tight. Eventually you can remove it. But, it is getting to the point where the key has to be left in the ignition when you get out of the car. The key or ignition...

Hi there I have a 1992 Saturn SL2 and last thurs, the tripmeter and odometer stopped working. I need to get it looked at, but I thought I'd check here to see if anyone has had this problem and what their solution is? I don't want to replace the whole instrument panel, if possible, but does anyone...

I have a 1998 SC2 with like 96k miles on it. I have replaced the O2 sensor, Catalytic converter, and muffler. The thing goes through a quart of oil every 750 - 1000 miles using 10W30. The auto parts store that ran the code said that they don't have a part available and that I have to go see...

I have a check service engine soon idiot light coming on my 2000 sl1 single cam. I thought it might be time to invest in a obd-ii code reader but I did have a co-worker suggest that the frequency of my light coming might be a gas cap problem. The light comes on and stays on when I start the car...

Once car gets warmed up..Stop at store come out 10 or 15 minutes later... Motor turns over but will not start...Does this on hit or miss intervals...Driving me crazy...Saturn diagnostic says fuel pump,pressure regulator, rail, & injector codes....Replaced pump and regulator so far but with no...

My wife's 92 SL1 had the the A/C compressor seize up on me Sunday morning. I had driven it earlier with the A/C on, but when I started it up there was this really annoying whine/squealing sound and smoke was coming out from the front right of the car. Turned it off, popped open the hood, and saw...

Hi, I recently bought a used Saturn SL1 1997. Till today the car was driving well with just a small starting noise problem, which I will describe later. Today after just entering my work parking lot, I noticed the ABS light on. This had never come before. I parked the car and stopped and tried to...
