I see that the newer (2002+?) V6 engines have a newer tensioner. Is this part an actual upgrade to the original unit, and can it be retrofitted to motors with the older assembly? Only the old assembly is available aftermarket from what I can see (on NAPA), though there is a kit on ebay now and then with the belt and 3 idler/tensioner pulleys). I think...

When I switched-over to my winter tires, a few weeks ago, I had almost every lug nut thread off "stiff" ... not exactly stripped threads - but not finger-loose (like I'm used-to) Someone at work said the threads can be "stretched" from over-tightening ... others are saying never use any lube on them.. I have always used a small amount (just...

Yesterday I drove from Upstate NY to Long Island My destination was made and then car died. Each time I started the car it would die when I drove a few feet. (More later about this) I called towing service $650 plus tolls to get my car home, forget this. I called vehicle donation program to take car away. No way must have title. I said I do not carry...

I have 93 Saturn SL2. Rattling noise come form all over the place. The passenger side window started to rattle first, when the car was relatively new. And little by little, started to hear rattling noise from new place, interior panels.. Now I started to hear nose from somewhere near the trunk rid. It got so bad I cannot bare anymore. Before I give up...

Well, just got back from the Saturn Aura ride and drive. I am now pretty impressed with this little car after actually getting hands on and driving it. The little 1.8L is quite capable especially at lower RPMS and the manual loves to be revved. Very touchy brakes (more than I or my passengers cared for) and eager throttle. The handling was awesome and...

Good day. I have been on this forum since 2002 when I bought my 1995 SW1. There has been a wealth of information in this forum and I hope that I have contributed some knowledge also. In September a family member had an accident and pretty much totaled the car, but thankfully nobody was injured. It had 220,000 miles on it and would have almost certainly...

I recently purchased a 99 Saturn SL 5spd SOHC from a private owner. I am having problems with the heater. I can drive 25 miles and still have almost no heat. It takes forever to clear a frosty windshield. The previous owner said he flushed the cooling system and put in a lower thermostat. Would that be the problem with the heater or is it unrelated?...

I just changed the oil, after 8000 miles of ownership, in my 2004 Saturn Vue. How do I reset the light? The dealer only had a 2003 Vue manual to give me, and the reset button has changed. I changed the oil when it started staying on after the engine was started. Will it stay on steady eventually? I figured after 8,000 miles, it wouldn't hurt the change...

I have a 92 Saturn SL2, 5 speed manual. I put in a new clutch (purchased at Advanced Auto Parts) in March of this year. It's been fine until suddenly Thursday night... - At the last stop sign before home, it was difficult to get back into first gear - As the clutch came out, there was a bad vibration and the RPM count seemed atypically high - It did...

I just replaced the battery on my 2002 4cyl Vue. Since then I noticed that the idle surges wildly, almost to the point of stalling, whenever the air conditioner is on. No problems at all with the A/C off. I know that after a battery replacement there is a period of time required for the computer to 'relearn' everything; but it's been almost a week with...
