How do you drain the radiator and transmission on a 1995 Buick Century with a 3100 V6 engine?
The radiator has a drain on the lower right. Sometimes it isn;t easy to get to so I take the lower rad hose off. The trans pan has to be removed to drain the trans.
On the driver's side lower rear of the radiator is a PLASTIC 'drain plug about 1 1/2 inch in diameter. After the car is cool, first open the radiator cap ( you need to twist CCW and push down hard at the same time), Then CAREFULLY with a pair of duck bill pliers or the like, unscrew the drain plug..BE CAREFUL!!!! if you break this plug it is a major pain in the a.. to replace it. Drain the coolant into a proper container and don't spill it as animals and kids love the sweet taste of antifreeze right up till it kills them. When the system is completely drained ( including coolant used to cool the trans),replace the plastic drain plug CAREFULLY
Near the waterpunp (passenger side of engine you will see a "fitting " with a nut and another bolt in the nut.... this is a vent device ...lossen the bolt to let air escape when you add the new coolant. There is also another "vent" on the driver side hose from the radiator.. do the same thing here. The object of the procedure is to refill the system WITHOUT any air pockets. Once this is achieved , make sure the two "vents" are closed. Run the engine with the radiator cap off long enough to insure the coolant level stays right to the top of the radiator fill pipe.replace the cap and insure that the reservoir tank is filled to the proper level. Take a ride then let the car cool down again then remove the cap again to make sure the coolant is still up in the fill neck. Please dispose of the anti freeze properly...nasty stuff!!! Most AutoZones will recycle it for free for you...good luck RONCO

How do you replace the air filter located on a 2003 Buick Century?
Open the hood. Go to the driver's side. Look down right behind the driver's headlight. There is a rectangular black box with 5" Inch air intake made of a plastic bellows material. Sticking out of the box. On the top of the box (filter housing) there are 2 clips on the Undo those clips. You will notice that you can open the housing a little and you can see the filter seal. You will also note that the filter still can not be removed from the housing. You will need to remove the entire cover you have to get the air filter out. To do this you should take the air intake duct out of the way to remove the entire face plate. Simply take the duct work off the filter housing by loosening the hose clamp that hold it in place. Once you take that off just move the duct work out of the way. (it will flex) Now pull up on the cover towards you. Pull the filter out and replace it. Put it all back together by doing the complete oposit and you are finished!

Where is the quad driver located on a Saturn SL1?
The "quad driver" is built into the EMC/PCM (computer). Its NOT replaceable - the only way would be to replace the PCM. They are pretty hearty though - and I doubt you have a bad QDM. I would say the EGR solenoid would be a better choice of things that are bad. Eric
Levels are probably not fine. Check the radiator not the overfow tank for proper level. The radiator should be full to the top.
