We have a new to us 98 SL2 on which the serpentine belt just cracked
and split. We think that the tensioner is fine, but need to replace the
serpentine belt. The previous owner did not provide a manual, and we

I have a 1996 Saturn SC2 DOHC.  I usually go about 230 miles on a tank of
gas.  The last couple of months, I can barely go 200 miles.  I drive mostly

Well, the saga continues.
I finally got the stupid ventshades off my windows on my '02 SC2, and had
the door applique panels replaced (paint chipping).
Now when driving at speeds of 50+ I get excessive wind noise coming from the

 I have a 1996 SL2 auto 105,000 miles been a nice car. Today I think
the transmission is going. When I go from 1st to 2nd gear there is a bang

been pretty good about keeping it up with my services, but I have an
expensive service coming up.  My friends that tell me that the car will
