I would like to find out what to do about my car, but I'm stumped. I have a 1998 Saturn SL1, reliability is key in my car decisions. Three weeks ago I got into my car and the clock was way off and all my radio presets were gone. The clock read 1:17 when it was about 10am. It appeared that my...

Ready for a laugh of the day? My driver's side seatbelt is only retracting 1/2 way (one of the automatic ones). It still locks into place so is OK for driving. The Saturn dealer informs me that the cable and motor is a sealed unit and would cost around $700 Canadian. (Not to mention the fuel pump...

On my 93 SL2 the door chime dings for no apparent reason while driving. It's very intermitent sometimes, other times quite often and annoying. I've had the fuse out but then I lose my radio. Is there a way to disable the chime yet keep the radio? Something quick and easy and inexpensive as car is...

Are Saturn windshields plastic?

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...

1999 SW2 was running fine-got full tank of gas on Sunday night, and didn't use the car until Tuesday night. Went to start the car, and the engine just cranked. I noticed that the fuel tank gauge was not moving. Later in the evening, I checked the 10 amp fuse (lowest amp should blow first) and it...

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...

Has anyone else had any problems with their a/c on a Saturn SL1? I have a 2001 model & for the past 2 years my a/c has been leaking onto the floorboards in the front (drivers & passenger sides), completely soaking the carpet! I have had the Saturn dealers fix it several times - they tell me the...

I had the oil changed today for the first time on my Chili Pepper Red 2004 Saturn Vue V6 FWD. My husband told me to have them put in 10W40 - that's what he's always used in our cars. He also puts a bottle of STP in. He drives a 1996 Ford Crown Victoria with 216K miles on it - great car, runs...

My 94 SL1 is getting old and ****y.... When putting around town at 30 mph around 2000 rpm the motor bucks and bounces. It's started doing it at highway speeds now as well. It goes fine if I have my boot to the floor. 1. Fuel pump iffy? 2. ????

My negative battery cable whore a hole in my hydraulic clutch line. I have a 2000 SC1 and never thought about checking under the battery tray to see if things were OK. So I did have to drive without the use of a clutch for about a week. I replaced the lower line and the clutch works fine. I...

Whats a good source for structural body repair parts ?

Hi. Today I changed the transmission fluid and filter on my 01 SL1 automatic. After changing, my "check engine soon" light came on and my transmisson is shifting rough??? I used Dextron III and the fluid level is showing full. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!! Thanks!!

1999 SW2 again. I took the car and had the codes checked-the only one that could apply was P1635 5 volt reference in # 1 circuit. I have not checked out exactly what it means yet. Anyway, the car started fine this morning, ran well, and was fine with repeated start-ups. When I got home from...

Help-I need some ideas! My 1999 SW2 will not start. The engine cranks. Although the gas tank is full, the meter does not move when the ignition is turned on, and the 'low Fuel light' blinks. Several times, the car did start up, and ran fine. (And when it runs, the fuel gauge works) I believe...

I have issues with my 95 automatic and had it checked out by a local mechanic that I trust. I know he checked the valve body and and a couple other things and its clear the parts were actually checked because all the muck is gone and the threads are shiny He says its fried and he guesses the...

on my '95 SL1 automatic. Is there a transmission stop leak that I can use that will not harm my car? TIA

Hi, With the stock brakes on an 2000 SL1 how long on average will they last? Second question... when it rains or is very humid outside my brakes seem to become very touchy as in if I push them down rather then coming to a nice stop they will grab the rims very hard it seems. This only...
