Went to change the oil tonight on my 02 Olds Alero and couldn't find the oil drain plug. I know where the filter is, but where's the freaking plug???

I thought the battery had drined after leaving the lights on. When I went to jump it...the car starts...runs on iddle without cables for 10 minutes no problem, but when I try driving it, the car stalls and dies. When I try to start it again, the battery is dead. I jumped it again, and as running on...

I've got a '97 SL1 with manual transmission and it recently started becoming very hard to shift. You have to have the clutch pedal all the way to the floor and it's still not easy. After doing a search here, it seems I'm not the only one with that problem. It sounds like I either have to add...

Help! I want to do some diagnosis of an intermittently operating cooling fan, but I can't find the PCM. I'm sure it is obvious - should be on firewall, driver side - but I can't find it. Gary

....just wanted to know if anything good has come of loosing the Saturn - catch us up when there's time. My email addy is a honey pot - I'm over at Yahoo with my full name.

Saturn may be no more but we still have our vehicles. Where did everybody go?

Hi I posted a query a little while ago about my Saturn SL1 1995 stalling. I had changed the fuel filter. The advice I also got suggested the EGR valve too. Where is the EGR valve in relation to the throttle body (which I have cleaned before)? I wonder if I should be able to clean or replace the...

The generator light came on while I was driving but the next day all I heard was a clicking sound when I tried to start it. Headlights come on dimly. Is this usually just the battery or something more serious? Before this I had no indication that the battery was getting weak. The little battery...

Friend told me to put off getting a VUE until I could get an '05

Or a least it feels that way when going over a bump. It feels like the driver front is shaking back and forth like a fish wiggles... only way I can explain it .. but it isn't constant just when I hit a ruff spot in the road or bump. Recently had the upper fron strut mounts replaced for one was...

Hi all, great to find this group! I'm a total car idiot who got a real nice sharp dark green SW2 a while ago, and love it. But I've now got a noise coming from one of my wheels, or something associated with them. It sounds like it's one of the front wheels, maybe the left front. At...

Would I benefit from replacing the 185(?) 75 13 's on my 1987 Corolla SR-5 with the 215(?) 60 15's from a 1995 Saturn SW-2?

When I switched-over to my winter tires, a few weeks ago, I had almost every lug nut thread off "stiff" ... not exactly stripped threads - but not finger-loose (like I'm used-to) Someone at work said the threads can be "stretched" from over-tightening ... others are saying never use any...

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...

Hi. I recently purchased a 2002 SL1, 4 door, manual transmission, sedan. I love it. However, I lost a wheel cover a few months ago, and I have been having a devil of a time finding a replacement that fits. I purchased two OEM wheel covers on eBay from reputable sellers. Both were listed as...

I have 51,000 miles on my VUE. The end of Jan. had it serviced at the dealership It was purchased from-front pads and rotors replaced, cabin air filter replaced, powerbrake/fuel injector flushed, secondary belt replaced, 2 link bushings/brackets replaced, tires rotated, oil change,--all this to...

Hello all. I am new here ,and I need some help. My 99 Saturn SL1 is making a roarring noise, and when I turn the wheel to the left the noise goes away, but going streight, or turning right it still makes the noise. Somebody told me is was the wheel bearings. My problem is I do not know witch side...

My 2000 SL1 with 134K miles needs front wheel bearings. Can anyone do it or should it be the dealership? Any idea on cost?

So I figure I have a bad wheel bearing; unfortunately I can't figure exactly what I'm going to have to do to fix it. The manual I have pretty much says don't mess with it and take the steering knuckle/hub assembly into a shop and have the bearing pressed. I called the nearby dealer and he said to...

I have that whining/grumbling noise on a 2005 Ion-2 with 5-speed. Something like the sound of coarse snow tires, but the summer tires are on. Bit it doesn't change when turning, like an earlier bad bearing on our SL-2. What could this be? If it is a bad bearing, then which one? I tried...
