Anyone know how much oil can be lost due to seals that probably needed to be replaced a while ago, from an early 90's dohc with ~130K miles? Am wondering if the oil loss due to these seals is anywhere near to what the ring situation can cause as far as oil capacity loss? Or, are the front and...

During a cold snap 2 winters ago my drivers side outside mirror glass cracked down the middle. It has since fractured in a few more places so I've bought a new glass for it. However, my Haynes guide does not say how to replace the glass. Has anyone had any experience with this? Any hints...

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...

When I break now my car feels like the front end is going over a washboard dirt road. The harder I break the more the feeling is pronounced. it tends to feel like its shaking rapidly back and forth quickly between the two front wheels, though I have no idea what causes this. Before this got...

My belt suddenly became loose yesterday, and I'm fairly familiar with how to work on cars. However when i try to get my belt back on and tight I can't get the tensioner to stay taught. Is there a trick to getting it to stay because I've heard they're self adjusting so maybe my tensioner is just...

I have a '95 crank dohc Engine installed in my '92 sl2 car. What year of PCM and wiring harness would be the easiest for me to plug in? I grabbed the '95 pcm and wiring harness and it won't connect to the existing electrical system, ie dash, oil pres. sender, fuse block. I know a '91 - '92 won't...

How hard is it to replace just the clutch slave cylinder? Can a women do it?

Hi, I have a 96 sl2 that has been missing (misfiring) at idle once it's warmed up. I think I may have found the problem but am not sure what to do about it. I was poking around under the hood with the air cleaner removed and I noticed some black/brown discoloration on the drivers side end of my...

I'll try and take a picture this weekend. I'll also try and explain it better. The intake mainfold (dohc) branches down into four seperate ports that each fit against the ports on intake side of the head. The injectors and fuel rail mount onto these chanels. There is also a 5th channel, closest...

Does the 1996 SC2 have a mass airflow sensor? The Chilton / Haynes manual suggests "no". Regards, Ted Wong 1996 Black-Gold SC2

My wipers are sticking to the windshield on my 2000 LS. Im afraid the unit will break. It's happened to me twice in very cold weather but now it's happening in light rain. What arms-blades should go on this? Should trhe driver's side be shorter? The one i have now bumps the window frame pretty...

Hi. I just bought a '97 SL2 from a friend (100,000 miles) for $1000. I love it so far. However, it doesn't have the air conditioning option. Any ideas if it's possible to have a Saturn dealer install an AC unit, and if so, how much I should expect to pay? Thanks! Roy

My lease is nearly up on my 2004 L300 and I want to go into an Aura. However, in building my own at the Saturn site, am I reading it correctly that if I want an Aura XR, I'm stuck with a sunroof or panoramic roof? Is the XR not available wihtout either? I'm not in the least bit interested in a...

are cloyes timing set as good as saturn's timing set? Anyone have experience with the Cloyes set?

I'm thinking about purchasing a VUE. After doing a little research, I find that Saturn is coming out with a whole new Vue for 2008. I've seen the pictures of it, and don't really care for the "euro" look and from what I've read, they will no longer use plastic panels. However is there any...
