Hi wondering if anyone can help. My serpentine belt was squeeling and now is so loose the car won't start. My battery and ABS lights came on the day before. How do you change the belt tensioner? And where the heck is it located.. I looked in the Haynes manual but it isn't very clear. Thanks

Hi, I'm replacing the starter on a '96 SL2. The top bolt is rather rounded off. Anyone dealt with this problem before? Thanks, Ken

Hi all I have a 1996 Saturn SL2 143,000 miles. Was running fine not a problem. Then Yesterday morning I started it up and the engine had a miss. Ran rough. Figured a wire plug or pack. Drove it over to the local shop. He found 0 compression in the #3 cylinder I mean 0 . Shot some oil in and...

Anyone have any clue what type of headlight bulbs they use and how to change one. The thing is so tight in there it looks damn near impossible. Brad

I've been to a local Saturn dealer three times looking a the SKY and threatening to buy one. At no time did any of the three different saleman know anything technical about the car except for basics such as horsepower nor could they explain how the Sky is different from the Pontiac roadster or...

Hey Guys: I have a 01 SC1 3 door coupe 5 speed. Does anyone know at what mileage you are supposed to replace the timing belt. Some foreign cars say 60000 miles, but was not sure on the Saturn. Also when you close the sunroof, you hear a sound like a plastic gear clicking. Anyone else have that...

My saturn, 96 sc2 150k oil is getting blacker and blacker and I am using about 1 1/2 quarts between oil changes. I use to change oil every 3000 miles but have started moving it up to 2500 because of the color. I started with mobil one oil synthetic from about 75k miles but since about 125k have...

I'm recently ...in the market for a used transmission for a 97' SC2 Auto Transmission, since mine decided to let go and throw something threw the side during one of the biggest snowstorm this year we've had - great timing!

Now that the system has held a vacuum for a couple of weeks.... (darn I'm lazy) I figured its time to load it up with freon and see how it goes. The only components changed out were the condensor, o-rings and schreader valves. I never really noticed any PAG oil come out of the system. Could...

I am (was) driving a 1997 SaturnWhen I went out t start my car today everything was normal until i tried to start the car. I used the remote to unlock the car as normal, and when I put the key in the ignition and turned it to the first position, I got the normal chime. But as soon as I trired...

Hi everyone; Is it necesary to change the manual transmission fluid, or just refill when low? If necessary, after how many Km (or miles)? Thanks in advance for all your answers. Daniel Rozenberg.

I have a 1994 SL2 with 119,000 Miles. My Penn State (PS) son is Main-Campus bound Sep 2006 to finish the remaining two years. I live about 150 miles away. Except for normal maintenance, the car runs fine. I anticipate his driving to and from PS eight (8) times. Is it prudent to have him drive...

The ABS light started coming on on my 93 SL2 once the car gets above 60 mph. Then it stays on and does not go out until the car is shut off and restarted. It will stay off until the car is driven above 60 mph again, and it will come on again and stay on. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot or...

Hi: My brakes recently started "rasping" pretty loudly. As I recall there's some sort of strip embedded in the pads that start doing this to warn you to replace them soon, so I'm wondering how much "grace" there is before the pads are completely gone. (I've been using the brakes very lightly,...

I have a 94 SL2 auto transmission. Last summer, I replaced the upper motor mount with an aftermarket mount. I had to replace all three studs bacause the original studs were too short for the redigned mount. I got the new studs and the new nuts from a Saturn dealer. Thanks for so much helpful...

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...

Last month I suddenly started hearing a metalic noise that sounds like it's coming from the rear wheels. The noise is rythmic and repeated over and over only when the car is in motion. The noise is similiar to that of a knife blade being sharpened on a stone if that make any sense. I realize that...

Ok, call me a traitor...;-) I recently passed up on a chance to buy a 2003 350Z Base model, with all the Touring model options, Slip, ABS etc..w/51K miles on it in good shape for $16K. Looking at the cost of ownership and especially insurance didn't make economical sense to me, not when I have a...
