'92 SL1 cooling fam wont come on
well for your information the 1.9L SOHC and the DOHC had the same
bottom end (Short Block) and the same rings they only changed the cylinder head to give them the extra power. Plus the DOHC engine was renowned for having alot of the heads crack around 100,000km. I could go on forever with all the problems with my Saturn as well as horor stories from freinds that have one. Dont get me wrong this car is fun to drive when I can actualy drive it. Being a licenced Macanic is definatly a plus if you own one cause they cheap and easy to fix, they just need alot of fixing. |

Mark Sounds like you got a pretty good deal on the car. My 94 SC2 now has 203,600 miles on her. She is my daily driver, and gets me through my 100 mile per day commute here in Colorado. As far as everything going to crap after 200,000 miles...same thing happens with other cars...I have even had brand new cars from the dealer that had motor problems straight from the plant. None of them are perfect, or come close. And with things getting worse...major layoffs at GM and Ford...I don't expect any major improvements anytime soon. I paid $800 for my car 15 months ago with 155,000 miles on it. Of course I put some money into it (and a ton of elbow grease!)...after driving to Michigan from Colorado 3 times in 2 months last summer. I like getting things replaced before they fail. I will gladly replace my entire motor when the time comes, than be stuck with a car payment. For the gas mileage and safer ride, I will keep driving my S-series and probably add another this summer. Another place to find great help, if you haven't found it already is saturnfans.com. They are awesome over there too, and helped me learn a ton about my car.

> renowned for having alot of the heads crack around 100,000km. SOHC engines had the head cracking issue, as far as I'm aware. In the 13 years I've been a Saturn owner, I've never heard of a cracked DOHC head (and I've read this newsgroup most of that time too).

The computer determines when to turn the fan on. Its based NOT on what
you see on your dash panel - that is connected to the top sensor. The computer uses the lower sensor (with the two wires) to determine when the engine is hot. Is your car equiped with A/C? When you turn on your A/C and the compressor engages the fan should come on. Otherwise your fan could be bad. I have gone through two cooling fans in two SC Saturns. I have also replace the engine's coolant temperature sensor on both of those Saturns. Each time they thanked me with a 5mpg increase in milage. |
