yes you are screwed if the chain breaks
No, from talking to repair shops and a dealer about my own Saturn Ion-2, I have learned that it does in fact use an interference design.
Saturn ION 2.2 L ecotec engine has a top speed of 78.6 mph which is fairly fast.
2.2
2.2l
Depends on which engine it has. 2.2L: 148 HP 2.4L: 175 HP 2.0L supercharged: 205 HP The 2.2L is the standard engine in the Ion. The 2.4L was optional only on Saturn Ion 3's from 2006-2007. The 2.0L supercharged is exclusive to the performance oriented Saturn Ion Redline
Ion's have timing chains and they are on the front of the engine. Requires removal of front engine cover and rocker cover to access
Any 5w30 oil will suit this engine well.
In the engine bay in front of the fuse box.
I have a 2006 Saturn ion. The reduced engine power light came on and the car still runs but will not accelerate and only goes 30mph
Saturn is the make, ion is the model.
Saturn Ion was created in 2003.
