Your problem is not with the coolant level but most likely the ect engine coolant temp sensor this will explain why the temperature gauge not working. Go to autozone or similar and have vehicle scanned for codes

Testimonial: "Thank you very much for the information. I will do that in the morning."

SOURCE: i have a 2003 saturn vue 6 cylinder. my service engine soon light

From the looks of it this is a very common problem with the 2002-2003 saturn vue. There was a Technical Service Bulletin from saturn about the problem, which means it happens alot but not quite enough to warrant a recall.

You need to replace your thermostat and it is a pain to do, the dealership will charge you about 2 hours flat rate to put it in.

Its not a huge deal to get it replaced right away, but the computer depends on the vehicle being a certain temperature and if it isn't then your performance/emissions will suffer.

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: How do I change the fuel filter on an 08 saturn aura xe?

According to other forums I checked, the word is that the fuel filter is in the fuel tank and does not need to be replaced. I would simply call a Saturn Dealer service department and confirm that this is true.

SOURCE: how do you replace low beam headlight on 2008

Access to change the headlamp bulbs is through the wheel well. The recommended method is to remove the front tire and then the plastic inner fender liner. Once removed, you'll have easy (more or less) access to the rear of the headlamp housing.

Check your coolant level, if it's too low it won't come in to contact with the temperature sensor.

2008 saturn aura xe3.5 motor 56,000 mile just purchased having problems with it already. ..engine light came on had it check out at auto zone ..only one code p 330 knock sensor. Engine light is off..but...

Bad ignition module often will not set a code for itself. Hard to diagnose due to being so random. Also just possible tach feed wire is shorting somewhere, coming and going.

Where is the transmission dip stck located on 2008 Saturn aura?

It depends on which transmission you have.

If you have the 3.5L or the 2.4L engine you have the 4T40 transmission which does not have a dipstick.

If you have the 3.6L engine, then you have the 6T70 transmission. In which case, your transmission dipstick is located on the transmission fill cap which can be found near your battery.
