To change oil.
Put a tray under sump. Remove sump plug bolt.
Wait for oil to drain into tray. (5 min).
Replace sump plug bolt - Not too tight! Not too loose!
Fill oil into hole marked oil.
Approximately 3 litres to start-depending on car.
Check dipstick-dipstick.
From Jeff in Oz.
Oil leaks from just about anywhere that there is an oil gasket. For example, the rocker cover, the sump and numerous other places.
Take the care to a service centre to have it check (especially before you park your car in a friends driveway).
Changing the timing belt can be an easy or very difficult and costly repair. If you are just changing it for the sake of keeping it up to par, then the easiest thing to do is remove the engine mount and jack up the one side of the engine, then pull off the timing cover. from there, all you really need to do is remove the balancer, pull the belt off, put a new one on, and then reattach the balancer.
The difficult part is if you are changing the belt after it has broken (as i am in the process of now). Since i had a cherry picker, i decided to simply pull the engine out. not the easiest option, but because the daewoo cylinder heads leave no space between the piston and the valves, you WILL, and i repeat WILL have to replace some bent valves. I had the engine out, pulled off the head, had it reworked, and I'm putting everything back together. while installing the new timing belt, you might as well put in a new water pump. Good luck if this is your problem. I have taken some time doing this, and 185 dollars for the new head gasket set didn't please me either.
locate your heater hoses, start your engine and find the one that warms first, this is your " in" hose. Shut off your engine, disconnect both in and out hoses. You will now want to connect an air hose or water hose to the "out" hose and backflush you heater core until it runs clear. You can also use a product like CLR (calcium- lime-remover available at most stores) Fill the heater core with the CLR ( both hoses elevated above the core) for about 15 min. Then reflush you system and couple of times as you did in the first procedure , then reconnect the heater hoses to their proper outlets and fill with coolant. Run the engine, check for leaks and coolant level, you should have heat now, maybe not 100% but more than you had.
The thermostat is contained inside a cast metal housing and sold as one unit. This is what you can see at the end of the top radiator hose, leading into the verticle wall at the front of the engine. Two hex head looking bolts secure it to the engine wall. They usually cost around $95 to $105 on the internet. You'll need a gasket and possibly (but not sure) an o-ring. Both sold separately, but often times included with the housing.
2000 Nubira, same problem, no water flow from block to heater, core not blocked, runs fine????????????
Gives the impression of a massive vacuum leak. (Too bad cars don't come with all gauges instead of idiot lights).
Either that or some sort of emissions problem.
On the right next to the passenger seat, towards the back adjacent to the threshold kick panel.
I had the same problem. This is the problem. The bushings on the lower right control arm are worn out. These are the GM (remember GM bought Daewoo) part numbers, 96308002 and 96492383. They run about $8.00 a piece. Unless you have hit something very, very hard, your control arms should be fine. A local garage/dealer can put press out the old ones and press the new ones in. That fixed the problem with mine.
AnswerMy opinion on this is that it could be the Throttle Position Sensor also called the TPS. I know this because my car did the same thing and we are having to replace this part. Good Luck! AnswerIt is a front wheel drive car, Yes?Under acceleration, one front tire is getting less grip on the roadway than the other tire is getting, and that is called "torque steer" This is quite normal, and the solution is to back off the gas pedal a bit.
The car is pulling to the right because that right side tire is getting a better grip than the left one is. Just be a little less aggressive on the gas pedal, OK?
AnswerI seriously suggest checking the lower control arms AnswerTyre wear tends to affect this also, mine pulls left under decelration when the tyres are getting down. AnswerCheck right side lower control arm. If accelerate, pulls to right; if deccelerate (not breaking), pulls to left. Install new control arm ASAP! It is not a joke! Same for left side,but the pullings are reversed.You are SO CORRECT! The right lower control arm had a bad bushing in the rear. Thank you very much.
Be aware!! Replace both sides or you will be back to square one before you know it.. (From experience!)
check your parts stores..pepboys has them...advance auto and so on. ($20.00)
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 does trouble code p0420 means on 2000 daewoo laganza
yes it will cause valve damage and will need new gasket kit for it when replaced will cost 0ver 1000 to fix
If it runs with starter fluid, it means it is firing but not getting fuel. it could be anything from the fuel pump relay in the fuse block under the hood, or it could be the fuel pump gone bad. If it is the fuel pump its a $250 part located under the rear seat. good luck
Sometimes an electronically controlled (or manually for that matter) mirror will become displaced due to a bump on the housing, which allows a certain amount of movement. This is so the mirror doesn't get snapped off if it gets bumped.
When this happens the control mechanism at the back of the mirror is dislodged and must be coaxed back into place, it's not too difficult, just have a good look at it and work out what you need to do.
To change your brake pads, you will first need to remove the tires and old pads. Check your owners manual for help in getting the tire off.
I say it will take 12Qts. That's the manufactures specs. It is a G.M. supply source.
It is located behind the timing belt cover and is driven by the belt. There are many steps to get to it so it is best to get a manual and do the timing kit at the same time
i have a daewoo and it doesnt have a dip stick u have to take it to the dealer in order for them to check it
