Verify the coolant level is not dropping over time and also look into changing the coolant temperature sending unit....cheap part and replace it yourself. If the threads on the new unit are not coated, use some Teflon tape on the threads and then insert and tighten to specs..you should not see any issues if done properly... cheers
I would recommend taking it to a qualified technician and have them see if any codes were set on the car's computer.
You don't want the car dying whilst you're in a hurry to be somewhere.
SOURCE: wet under driver's side floor mat
Is there a sweet smell inside the car?Heater core leak I beleive would be on passenger side floor.Antifreeze will be sweet to the nose.Are you getting any white smoke out the tailpipe? would likely be head gasket leak.Put a piece of cardboard under the car near the radiator and under the motor to see where its leaking from .One thing Ive learned over the years is that its going somewhere.On the ground? Or out the tailpipe.
As for the floor board leak the 98 s were prone to have the defrost area in front of windshield collect water from being plugged up .Mine was passenger floorboard.Daughter resealed small oval vent (that defrosts /heats hood?) LOL .Its on pass. side under hood on cowl .I think this will take care of my problem but you may need to investigate under the dash/defrost area and drill and then install a drain line to bottom of defroster.Exit drain line to O/Side of car...lol .Also was it raining ? was car outside in rain .if so it could be this issue.Sorry so long ,hope you can make heads or tails of this.
SOURCE: 2003 Saturn L300 indicator lights stay on: ABS, SES...etc
first problem, went to autozone. the guy that looked at your car was making pizzas last week. they pull codes and sell you every part you will buy. take the car to the saturn dealer and replace the bcm.
SOURCE: 97 saturn sl2 temp light flashing and low coolant
If the temp gauge is reading normal, the lights are flashing, and the coolant level is full, the level sensor in the coolant bottle is the problem. I'm a service consultant for a Saturn dealer and I've run across this many times.
SOURCE: belt tensioner assmebly went bad
Take the Right hand front wheel off, remove the plastic splash panel. Obviously, first remove tne belt. the tensioner should be slightly up in the wheel opening. Remove the pully, center bolt, remove the bolts attaching the tensioner asm. Local autoparts store should have replacement for around $30.00. Replace follow instructions backwards. While at auto store reference saturn manual for torque to tighten bolts when replacing. Do not over torque into aluminum block.
SOURCE: have 95 saturn sl with code 26 and 27 quad driver
well the quad driver may not be at fualt and most likely is not.
there is a fualt line that the computer uses to monitor for fualts but the thing is one line monitors four different things and the code is to get you in the general area but not to the exact fualt. so from here you need to test for failed components. that code and the quad driver monitors the a/c , evap solniod , egr solenoid and coolant fan relay. the fan relay and egr are the most common i see all the time. and with you having an isssue with that coolant light i want to say check the fan circuit.
let me know if you have more question thank you and good luck
Testimonial: "Thanks I'll check those circuits,but could not find a test for the egr module,but did find for linear egr valve."
