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 ...

97 SW1 177,000 miles, 284,853 kilometers.
This car was due for a coolant flush. According to the owners manual, DEX-
COOL radiator fluid only needs to be serviced once every 5 years or
100,000 miles. The last coolant flush service was done by Saturn 5 or 6

Does anyone have a suggestion for ripped seats?
Should I look for a place that fixes them or are new
ones better?

I have a 2001 Saturn S series. Has 137,000 miles and has been very reliable.
Lately it has had an idling problem.
The idle varies from 800 to 2500 rpms. It changes all the time. It may start
out high, or just change as I drive.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all at rec.autos.makers.saturn!
Best to you and yours in 2008!

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)

70 mph, speed control on,  just laid down like you turned the key off.
Wouldn't restart.  Cranks ok.
any ideas before the dealer tows it in tomorrow morning?
thanks

I have a 97 SC2 with an eq and the CD-changer in the trunk. Earlier
this year, the cd-changer failed and it will no longer read any CDs.
The head unit just says "ERR".
I'm resigned to buying a new head unit, and I like having a cd-changer

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

I have a '97 Saturn. It runs great but recently when I try to start the car
it takes a number of tries of turning key, taking key out and trying again
etc. It seems to be getting gradually worse over the last month. Should I
replace the ignition or is it a loose wire? How much ...

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

Daughter's 2001 SL2 has a serious problem -- engine runs but makes terrible
& loud banging noise. A mechanic listened briefly and said it sounds like
she threw a rod. Took the valve cover off & everything looks good & clean,
plenty of oil. Just 90,000 miles on the car.

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.

They sure dont make 'em like they used to,well, this summer was a hot
one,but I cant stand that rubbing!.
