Most of it worked for me except for the upper alternator bolt. How the dickens do you get to it? I've been at it half a day. Got everything out except the upper alternator bolt. And you know, you can't be a big guy and crawl underneath a Saturn: there's just not enough room, even though you...

HEy there, Picking your brains again. I thought i had a valve problem, i took the cover off and everything inside is lovely. Under furthur inspection, it appears as though the lower end is the problem. I've got a 164, 000 kms (100, 00Miles) on it.. SW2 Oil Changes done regularly using Amsoil...

I want to thank the few who told me to have my engine's computer checked when I described my incident of high RPM low power while driving the freeways and the check engine light went on. I thought it was my transmission so I had it checked and my computer checked and the transmission is fine but I...

I recently had a knock sensor installed after my 94 SW2 with 100K miles on the motor/trans indicated the knock sensor was bad via the code reader and the symptoms were high rpm's and low power and check engine light on. I have had this new knock sensor installed and had no more trouble for 1 week...

I finally broke down (financially, not mechanically) and bought the set of shop manuals for my '01 LW300. I was warned that the cost would be about $140 but totally surprised when I saw the big box of manuals weighing about 20 pounds! Guess I've got a lot of reading to do now... Too bad they don't...

OK I need your help! I was at my dealer this past weekend getting an Oil Change and they said that I only have 15% thread on all my tires and they need to be replaced. They gave me a quote of around $700! for all four replacements with an alignment, and labor. This seems a little high to me, so I...

Why is this feature always on? I find when I turn it off I get better gas milage. Like 1-3 miles per gallon! So why is the TC in the on position all the time, instead of being on as needed?

2002 L200 w/83K mi. A/C was cold one day - hot the next day. Saturn says "must be the compressor" after diagnosing the problem; estimate-$800! Took it home, hooked up the pressure gauges and a can of R134. 100 lbs on both sides; wouldn't suck in the refrigerant. Compressor runs continuous, blower...

Anyone know how difficult and what the process is to replace the antenna on a 2003 L200? I sheared it off at the base. Not sure if this is a job that needs to be done at the dealership of whether I can do it. -- Burt Baker

I recently requested my fuel filter be replaced by a local shop. The other day it appears I ran out of gas without the dashboard lights providing a warning. Is the low fuel warning system linked to the fuel filter assembly? Is it likely the mechanic messed it up?

I know a fuel injected engine doesn't "flood", but the symptom is the same. First happened when SO nearly stalled while in stop'n go traffic up a small incline on-ramp. The engine faltered and then lost all power. It would idle but had no power and any noticeable increase in the throttle (via...

my 2003 L200 wipers do not park in the correct position. After the wipers are used they park in the vertical position - right in the drivers line of sight. You can push they down - but the next time they are used, they return to the wrong position. does anyone have experience with this problem?

A friend had a pretty bad accident with a 2004 L300 wagon. Basically lost control and squeezed the front between 2 other cars. So bascially headlights and fenders on both sides done it, along with hood, bumper and some damage to the front under carriage.... a suspension cradle and some of the...

I finally got arround to fixing the leaking joint on the heater core of my '01 LW300. Found that the joints are all O-Ring seals with a plastic retainer clamp holding the joint together. The clamp holds the swaged flange on the core joint to a similar flange on the pipe. As the lowest point in...

I replaced the HVAC panel about 18 months ago because the blower switch had failed. Was a bummer that just the switch alone was not available and only came as part of the HVAC panel at about $170. Yesterday, I had the blower on high and had the AC on. A little while later, tried to turn off the...

Hello First of all sorry about the long explanation. I have a 2002 L300 with about 70,000 miles everything worked fine until last week that I got the following problems. The car still seams to work fine (engine wise) First the Service (with a small wrench) light came on, took it to my mechanic...

My father bought a new L300 wagon with the V6 a few months ago. Nice car but the only thing I find obnoxious about it is the engine rumble when idling. Changing to neutral doesn't affect it. Turning off the ac doesn't change it either. It is a very loud low pitch hum thru out the car at...
