Hi, I have a 2005 Saturn ION-3. Does anyone know if it will run on the new Ethanol E85 fuel that is starting to become available in more states? I checked the Saturn website but could not find anything. JD

I have a '96 SL base model I bought new a decade ago. It has a manual transmission and AC. It now has 140K on the clock and still gets me around just fine, and with gas at 3 bucks a gallon, I like the fact that I get 37 MPG in rush hour highway traffic. I live in Phoenix, so it has no rust, but...

Have you guys seen the new Saturn line up and concept(s) at www.saturnfans.com ? What do you think? I love the SKY, Aura and PreVUE. We'll all miss polymer panels, but the new designs are sure exciting! -- marx404

Does anyone have information on how the transmission and radiator are linked in the 97 SL2s? Can replacing the transmission affect the coolant system in any manner? Are there connections between the transmission and radiator that need to be unconnected and reconnected during a transmission/valve...

My 1994 Saturn SW2 temp light is flashing the mechanic just replaced the water pump after it was leaking and I'm going back in for them to troubleshoot. Any ideas why the light is flashing even with the new water pump, antifreeze and a recent new radiator? The temp gauge is just above cold and it...

i have a 96 saturn sc1 coupe. my engine stalls sometimes when im at a light and i press on the gas, sometimes my car cuts off. whats could it be?

My 96SL2 (AT) has recently developed a problem when I shut it off. The engine seems to shut off BEFORE I can get the key moved into the "lock" position, and then I can't move the key into "lock" or remove it from the ignition. I have to start the car and then try again. It only...

I just spoke to the shop manager at a Saturn dealer here in town (Columbus, OH) and he said that SW1 & 2 clutches are very durable but extremely expensive to replace. He said that "you need to take the transmission apart" and quoted something like $1,300 for the job! Is this really a typical...

I'm trying to help a friend figure out what is wrong with a 93 SL2, in which the battery repeatedly keeps going dead. It is definitely some kind of charging system problem. The battery, alternator, drive belt, and belt tensioner have all been replaced within the last year. Is there anything else...

Is there a common problem with these? Our 98 SL-2 had the second horn die. I will get a replacement tomorrow. On the first the electronic relay failed. Will find out what happened to the replacment when it comes out of the car.

Can anyone recommended a competent and honest Saturn specialist in the central Ohio area?

On a 2006 Ion, I'm getting a passlock warning light when the doors are locked. The dealer says that the Body Control Module (BCM) needs to be replaced, but Saturn is "temporarily" not shipping any new BCMs for 2006 Ions. Has anyone heard anything about this, or when they will be available?

Where can I get an affordable OBD unit for my 94 Saturn?

Bought a 98 SL2 w/108k. I'm not mechanically inclinded, have been ripped off by a variety of mechanics ( thats a fact, not bitter paranoia or delusions). So, I've been trying to educate myself a wee bit before taking the Saturn into a shop. Feel like it's having (automatic) transmission issues. ...

hello, I've been wondering this for quite a while. I've got a 99 SL1, manual trans, and was wondering: when is the best time to shift? Especially concerning gas mileage, is it better to shift around 2,000 rpm's if accelerating slowly? How about the best shift points to save on engine/trans...

hi there, My 97' sl1 has recently reached 500,000 kms and is still going strong. This car has survived everything from being stolen to a few deer and my son driving it at 140km/hr down a quad trail in canada. Props to the 97 saturn. www.mydreamwheels.com -- custom cars new and old, most of which...

This is my current warranty outfit-over 36K miles.I really dont get what they DO cover,certainly not oil pressure sensors & dash bulbs.Watch it after you real warrenty runs out.

Random Topic: Time to head to the car washes and break out those pressure washers to get the winter road salts blasted out of every nook and cranny. I spend about 20 times the amount of time blasting the underside than the top side. I recomend doing the same for anyone living in the rust belt. Its...
