435 Questions

Why would a Daewoo Matiz lose engine power?

what is the convertorsI would start by checking the convertors

Could be any number of things. Could be:-

1. Blockage in your fuel filter

2. Blockage in your cat convertor

3. Blockage in your fuel pipe

4. Faulty Map/Oxygen sensor

5. Dirty or faulty injector

6. Exhaust Blockage

7. Low Voltage i.e. battery/HT lead/Dissy Cap/Rotar Arm/Sparks

(you may be running on only 2 cyclinders!)

and this list is by no means exhausted...

My advice is to cough up £60/£70 and go to a dealer to get a read out, but before that do number 1 & 7 as they are cheap to do, any probably needs changing anyway!

Regards,

Daewooboy

My 2001 Matiz recently had some problems. Initially, when trying to start the motor, it wouldn't start and there was no noise at all indicating a problem with the starter motor. After clutch starting it and 5km down the road, it began to lose power finally losing all power at the traffic lights. After getting it towed, I was told that it was a problem with the computer and that the starter motor, battery and alternator were perfect and there was no blockage in the fuel pipe.

A Holden representative had to visit the mechanic with his piece of equipment that interprets the error code that was coming from the computer and there was found to be a problem with the cambus part in computer. Additionally, there was found to be water in the distributor (how it got here I don't know how). All up to fix this issue was $140 AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR. $100.00 was for the hour the Holden rep spent at the mechanics performing the diagnostic system scan. The $40 AUD was the mechanic's work fixing the distributor (apparently there was a distributor pipe that was facing upwards allowing water to enter).

I hope this helps,

Daewoo matiz 2000 Car cuts out when air conditioner turned on?

1st option is that the air conditioner has ceased and is dead.

There is no 2nd option.

How do you control the increase in engine temperature even when the cooling fan is working?

You have several options. 1. check that fan is coming on at correct temp. If too high replace sender / control unit. 2. If correct but because of use/ambient temp vehicle is still running to hot then following are pos. A) If a temp thing (going up a mountain etc.) turn heater to full put blower on max. B) For long term you need to obtain a temperature adjustable control unit (auto electricians) so that you can lower temp which fan cuts in at - this will also increase duration of fan use. C) Obtain specialist fan with better cooling properties than orig (Kenlow ).

On your 2002 vue your speedometer is not working what could be the problem?

If the speedometer and the odometer are not working, I would suspect the VSS (vehicle speed sensor). If only the speedometer is not working I would suspect the instrument cluster has problems.

Deawoo matiz won't start after cam belt change?

Hi

Did you mark all the pulleys at the correct timing position prior to removing the head? You may have problems with the timing if you didn't.

Check to make sure all the electrical components for the management system have been reconnected correctly, pay particular attention to the Crank and Cam Sensors if fitted on your vehicle, if these sensors are incorrect you may not get a spark (if you have a petrol engine).. best of luck!!!

Where is diagnostic plug on Daewoo matiz 2000?

Where is the interior light fuse on matiz?

On the driver side under the bonnet right side wall

My 99 daewoo matiz judders in 1st and 2nd gear and lacks its usual power In 3rd 4th and 5th gear it runs fine Any ideas?

One thing that can be done is, give it for servicing. You can also ask the mechanic to check or clean the silencer. If the silencer has a some kinda dust in it or is choked, the car tends to loose the pick up! Apart from that once its given for servicing, the filter will get washed and cleaned.. and ask the mechanic to tone it up!

This will solve the problem I guess!

Turning over wont fire but every few turns she hesitates then turns again. Batt ok as a jump didnt work. Removed fuel pump relay solved hesitancy so am sure batt is ok cleaned dizzy rotor plugs?

It helps to know make and model of any car as most have a weak spot or something that is the usual cause of a given problem. Turning over slow=bad connection, starter. Plugs, are you getting spark at the plugs? carb. or injected? Timing belt? Timing. If injected are they firing? Lots of things could be wrong, need to know what kind of car. But I posted this in the Daewoo Matiz section!! Anyway thanks for coming back. The car is a '00 Matiz with M100 engine, I've just finished doing the head gasket and new piston rings too. I have everything back now and expected it to start but its not firing at all. The plugs are almost new and the timing belt is new and double double checked at this stage. When I turn the engine over it turns on the starter as normal for 2 or 3 turns but then fades badly for a split second, comes back and does it over and over again. I've cleaned the points in the cap and the rotor arm too. If I disconnect the leads from the plugs the hesitating turnover problem goes away and it turns like you'd expect, just doesnt fire, plugs connected again and its doing this jekyll and hyde turnover thing again. I suspect the battery but have tried jumping and the engine only turned even faster but didnt start.

What is the radio code for a Daewoo Lanos?

The radio code feature of Daewoo models (sold in the US from 1998 - 2001 as Leganza, Nubira, and Lanos) is meant to be an anti-theft security feature, but unfortunately it can also present a problem to legimate owners when their car batteries have died or been replaced. When the radio is removed from the power source (or the power source is interrupted), the radio will reset itself (prevent any use) and flash "CODE" until the proper code is entered. Each radio has a specific four-digit code, which was originally provided on a plastic card within the owner's manual kit. New owners were encouraged to remove the card and keep in a safe place outside the car (eg home). Since these cards may be lost over time (or perhaps not passed along when the car was sold used), that leaves today's owner in a tough spot. To obtain your code... You can try calling Daewoo Motor America (the company still operates a HQ in CA for service/parts/warranty purposes); their website is still www.daewoous.com. You can also try calling your original Daewoo dealer, who hopefully still has some technical materials and personnel to help you identify your unique code. Some General Motors dealers may be able to help, as GM acquired Daewoo and still sells Daewoo-made cars in the US under their Pontiac and Chevy brands. But all methods above may be difficult for an individual detailed problem such as obtaining your unique radio code. If all else fails, TRY THE CODES BELOW, which were the most common codes used in models during the 1998-2001 model years. 4316

5436 I am posting these because - although the code feature was a valuable anti-theft feature - there have been no models sold in the US since late 2001, and the radios are now undoubtly worthless to theives. At this point, the radio code feature can only be a major nusance to an owner of a still-running used Daewoo. Good luck and enjoy your car!

How do you remove the intake manifold on a 2002 Matiz - the two centre nuts seem near impossible?

DO NOT REMOVE WHOLE MANIFOLD UNLESS YOU REALLY HAVE TO, IS IT LEAKING ABOVE THE ALTERNATOR? if so just needs a simple repair plate.

Who was fritz zwicky?

Fritz Zwicky was a prolific scientist and made important contributions in many areas of astronomy. He was a Swiss Astronomer and physicist. He got a PH.D Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and then moved to U.S in 1925 he stayed there until 1972. He was a Professor of Astronomy from 1942-1968, and worked at California Institute of Technology. He was also President of International Academy of Astronautics. He was the first person to discover evidence for dark matter in galaxies (1933). He Formulated triple-hypothesis: supernovae, neutron stars & cosmic rays (1934).

Dark matter was founded by a man named Fritz Zwicky he was born on Feb. 15, 1898 in Varna, Bulgaria. Fritz was an astronomer and a physicist he studied at Zurich under Peter Deybe and Auguste Piccard, he went to California Institute of Technology under the influence of Robert A. Millikan. There he became Caltech's first professor of astrophysics. He also came out with the term supernova, explaining this phenomenon as ordinary stars transitioning into neutron stars, which he correctly hypothesized as an origin of cosmic rays. Fritz predicted the existence of dark matter; he was also the first scientist to present that the whole galaxy clusters could act as gravitational lenses. On Fritz's spare time he personally witnessed 122 supernovas' more than half of them were known at the time of his death. In a scientific conference in 1933 they got three new ideas. First, massive starts end their life in a massive explosion which blow them apart. Second, the explosions produce cosmic rays. Lastly, they leave behind a collapsed star made of densely-packed neutrons. An explosion of a collapsed star would leave behind a ball of neutrons, which was formed by the crushing and colliding of protons and electrons; which he called a neutron star.

Fritz was the informal founder of and long time researcher at Aerojet Engineering Corporation which is now a subsidiary of GenCorp. Fritz also conducted research in crystals, gaseous ionization, the physics of solid state, slow electrons, and, thermodynamics. Fritz has been working and living in the U.S. for almost 50 years but never became a citizen. Later he died Feb. 8 1974 from heart failure.

Fritz is well known to many places and did many things; he received awards like the Royal Astronomical Society Gold Medal, Presidential Medal of Freedom, and International Space Hall of Fame. He also wrote many books: Morphological Astronomy in 1957, in 1962, Catalog of Galaxies and Cluster Galaxies in 1961, New Methods of Thought and Procedure in 1967, Discovery, Invention, Research Through the Morphological Approach in 1969, and, Catalogue of Selected Compact Galaxies and of Post-Eruptive Galaxies in 1971.

Where is fuel pump reset Daewoo lanos?

How do I get the alternator off a Daewoo Matiz SE 2000 800cc. The gap is too small. Do I have to drop the engine mounting?

You must remove the lower engine mount bracket, this held by three bolts to the block. the engine mount bush must be disconnected.

If you do have ramps this can be done by jacking and placing fixed jacks under the car. remove the driver side front wheel, and the splash cover( it takes some twisting but the cover is flexible )

Even after these components ghave been removed it is still a tight squeeze so some manouvering of the alternator is required. It is is also adviseable to remove the harness connections prior to the removal of the alternator. I have doen this a couple of times and the hardest part is the engine bracket as one of the bolts is almost a blind assembly and will need patience and kids removed due to the nasty words that eminate. Good luck

How do you replace front brake pads on daewoo matiz?

How do you remove the headlamps on a Daewoo Matiz?

headlamp removalOn the 00 Matiz I am working on, you first remove the Phillips headed screw which holds the body coloured panel between the headlamp and the indicator. Then using a 10mm spanner or socket you remove the 3 bolts anchoring the headlamp to the car. Now all you have left is to disconnect any wiring and you have the lamp out. Honestly, this is as basic as it gets and I wish the rest of my head gasket job was this easy. Theres a tradeoff here though...you take all the steel associated with the traditional front grill and surrounds on a car which make headlight removal more cumbersome, and replace it with the nothingness that is the front of a daewoo matiz! Hence there is very little there at the front when you lift the bonnet, only the headlights.
