Alternator whine problem.

Sometimes you have to look at what makes the bearings fail, like an off
balance rotor due to dirt or damage. Maybe even a bent shaft.

If you try to rebuild again, put the rotor on a set of V...

Opinion and experience with Sky?

I agree, while I love my Sky like life itself, as an old guy with bad knees,
getting in and out with the top up is a pain.

I have only had the top up a couple times in the two years or so I have...

Opinion and experience with Sky?

What are you talking about the Opal GT and the SKy being the same?

My Sky was built in the US just a few miles from where I live.

I know the new Astra is an Opal designed and built...

Opinion and experience with Sky?

I have an early 08, not the redline but loaded up.

It is our 4th Saturn and I love it.

Have had zero problems with it.

Power is not a problem with the standard package.

I was forced to get rid of...

AC refrigerant R12a vs R134

Probably not,

We made freeze dryers, tightly controlled environmental chambers and other

Other stuff as well but those were the biggies.

Did a lot of PLC control...

AC refrigerant R12a vs R134

The substitutes typically work ok and are the only alternative in auto ac.

In many cases it is cheaper to tarade the car. I had an 86 Voyager that the

AC refrigerant R12a vs R134

R12 (never heard of 12a) is no longer sold in the US except in a recycled

You can't just change gases. Your system must be spec'd to...

1997 SW1 A/C commpressor replacement
