Daewoo Lanos

change your grade of fuel ,that's what i did and all is good now .

Both the engine temperature and thermistor for the engine management are located behind the alternator. They can both be readily accessed by removing the top adjustment bolt of the alternator, removing the serpentine belt and pivoting the alternator towards the rear of the firewall.

The Speedometer control wire is Dark Green with White stripe & comes from C11 on the White PCM/ECM connector under the passenger seat. Look for bad connection or wire from PCM/ECM to instrument cluster.

Really need more info (engine size, model, type, etc..) A 1.6L DOHC, should be located about 9'o-clock if looking at the Crankshaft pulley through the right side wheel well. Just FYI the camshaft sensor is located under the timing belt cover between the two camshafts (1.6L DOHC) but behind the exhaust cam gear (gear towards front of car).

First top up the power steering fluid, then with the engine running, turn steering slowly all the way to the left, and then, still slowly, all the way to the right.

Check that power steering fluid level hasn't dropped, and top if necessary.

Repeat the process half a dozen times and you should be good to go.

Cheers.

umm not a specialist, but the fuel sending unit, the part that goes in the tank, that measures the volume might be broken. haha. i think you can get to it, by taking out the rear seat, and that big black rubber thing, just replace it, and/or check the wires, and make sure they aren't cut, or worn.

starters turn but doesnt crank? If the starters are turning and engaging they will at leat be turning the flywheel, unless there is tooth damage. try to rock the vehicle in gear to test. look at bottom pulley (where the belts are) to see if crank is turning, both when starter is turned and when rocked in gear, this will at least tell you that the flywheel is attached to the crankshaft, and if it turns off the starter motor it also shows the starter motor is working correctly. If this is turning via the starter motor the next thing i would check it the timing/cam belt. behind the plastic cover behind all the belts, especially if the engine is turning fast, wirring and not making the usual chug chug chug starter noise!

Under th inlet manifold, you will need to remove the alternator to gain access

The Key hole is an emergeny shift system in case there is a brake pedal failure in the car you stick the key in that hole to shift out of park without applying the brake first

Under the Air Intake Manifold Just forward of Injectors 2 & 3 Regards, C-F

Many possibles, coolant leakage,headgaket,plugged radiator, stuck thermostat, bad cooling fan, coolant sensor, radiator fan relay, ECU malfunction, rodents chewed on the ground wire for the cooling fan, or about 20 other possibles

Sounds like the thrust bearing is worn, gearbox out to change this, may as well change clutch at same time.

ask haynes to make a manual they say to me not a lot of daewoos were made but they might make them ie there is a demamd

Thanks to Radu Demene over at Daewoo Romania, I was able to get my hands on an ENGLISH Cielo User Manual.

Radu, you're my hero!!

What_are_the_cylinder_head_torque_specs_for_daewoo_lanos_98

Should be a label posted either on door jamb or on fuel cap filler door

2002 1.6 DOHC manual states SAE 80W for manual transmission & Dextron III for Automatic transmission.

Sound like same problem, check cable runner has not snaped ,,you need a torch get your head in the foot well (drivers side) look up to center get some to turn control you can do this yourself if you have long arms if cable is flaping about, ,replace the runner or cable tie in place ,, the runner is easy to id when you are down there..

co adjust error

First check the fuse. If this is ok the problem is most likely the “Flasher Unit”. The Flasher Unit is located behind the dash.

You have to take the plastic guard on top of the spark plugs off, pull out the air box, take off the air conditioning belt if you have air, pull off the serpentine belt by loosening the alternator. Then you can get at the plastic belt covers. Remove the screws holding the plastic on. Then remove the pulley between the upper and lower covers. That should set the top cover free. Then pull off the crank pulley and the two screws in the lower timing belt cover to expose the lower one. The manual says to then loosen bolts on the water pump pulley, that thing obviously in the middle of the belt is not it. The small sprocket on the left hand side is the water pump. But you need a special tool to twist the pump to release tension on the belt. If you don't have the tool, you can release the tension on the belt tensioner, that bald plastic wheel on the left. -BE CAREFUL FROM HERE ON OUT- look at the tensioner. On the left are some shiny points. Take a medium screwdriver and lift the one that moves. If you let this snap back it will break and these tensioners cost $100 a pop. With the tension relieved, have a buddy start pulling off the belt. If you are just removing a belt that hasn't broken, try not to move any of the pullys while doing this. If the belt did break, which is what happened to me, this is an interference engine, so expect some bent valves. Im praying mine aren't that bad so I can trade the thing in. Anyway, if it did break, point the mark on the crankshaft pulley down, aligned with the notch in the tin behind all the pulleys. Then with the 1.6 twin cams point the marks on these babies at eachother. Then put the belt on, careful not to move any of the pulleys. If you have the tool, do a compression test. If you don't, unplug the spark distributor thing and have a helper turn the engine over. Listen for tapping and banging. If the sad answer is yes, the valves are making noise, you have some bent. Probably the exhaust valves (towards the front of the engine). The guy at the former Daewoo dealership says the car should run, it might skip but it would run. but I can't get mine to start. No compression. Good luck.

Lift up the passenger side of the rear seat and pop up the round cover. Use a fuel line disconnect tool to remove the two fuel hoses, (you will need two different sizes). Unplug the two electrical connectors and tap the ring around counter clockwise to loosen. After the ring has been removed wiggle the pump out by turning about 1/4 turn to the left and work it out.

To check the transmission fluid on a Daewoo Lanos 2000 you have to get to the back side of the engine from underneath. The way we did it was to put the car on a lift.

You Probably Have A Bad Coil Pack,Or Plug Wires.My Daughters Lanos Was Doing The Same Thing And I Changed The Coil Pack And The Plug Wires And Now It Runs Great.

To answer your question I must put this in two parts , Firstly if the idle is low and you shift from park to drive and the engine stalls this is due to the idle being too low. When you shift from park to drive the transmission puts extra load on the engine causing it to idle lower and thus can stall. Remedy to fix is to either screw up idle adjuster but most times it's because of built up carbon in the intake throttle body causing the accelerator flap inside to not fully close . This causes the throttle positioning switch mounted on the side of the throttle body to send the wrong signal back to the computer saying that the car is not at idling position when it is. Remedy to fix this is to spray in some Carby Clean into the throttle body and then some more while the car is running, all while holding revs up on motor so it will not stall ( use the whole can ). Now the second part is that you can have a bad wiring problem with either a broken wire or bad connector . When you put the car into Drive from the park position the engine will rock ( this is on all front wheel drive vehicles ) If you have a broken wire or bad connector some where between the motor and cars wiring loom by the engine moving it can open circuit any connection that controls engine running . Remedy to fix is to put the car into park and physically move and jiggle wiring in engine bay until symptoms occurs , then it's up to you to repair the fault.

MIl light comes on as a result of any fault with the engine's Euro functioning. It can be any of the sensors or the heated oxygen sensor or even the ERG valve. When the MIL comes on cranking the engine wont help but sometimes when the fault is minimal, the engine may start but it wont be smooth. Also, the pollution norms wont be met. It is best to carry the vehicle to a local mechanic who has an Euro On board testing tool to decode the error, which is stored in the ECM of the car. Dears, Check the relays specially fuel pump relay ...for sure
