Best Answer

If all goes well, about 4 hours.

You will need to...

- remove plastic shroud from under engine compartment

- disconnect coolant lines

- remove rad only, not a/c as book says

- remove rad support to get it out, it just slides out

- remove serpentine belt

- remove a brace under engine compartment to let the alternator fall out

- remove alternator

That's about it. You do NOT need to remove the a/c lines and condenser as the manual says. If you remove only the rad and remove the brace from under the motor, you have tons of room to let the alt. fall out the bottom.

I did mine about 3 months ago. It took my father and I about 2.5 hours to do as everything went rather smoothly. If I remember correctly, I think you might also have to remove the oil filter as I think it was right near the alt.

It is not as involved as it looks in the shop manual. It is a little tight so expect to do quite a bit of "fingering" bolts out. I would suggest some cotton gloves dipped in rubber to grip them.

How do I Reset the low coolant indicator on a 2001 Oldsmobile aurora?

It should reset itself when the coolant is back to the appropriate level as long as the sensor is working properly. If you look in the overflow reservoir and can see coolant, the sensor or wiring might be the problem.


How do you put the backseat of an 1999 aurora down?

You can't put down the back seat in a first-generation Oldsmobile Aurora -- at least not easily. It's not designed to be folded down. There is, however, a panel behind the center armrest of the rear seat that folds forward, creating an opening that allows long. skinny items to protrude from the trunk into the passenger compartment.
