Saturn L-Series

Yes, you can paint it yourself or you can take it to a body shop to have it color matched and painted. If you choose to do so, you can get automotive paint to do it yourself.

Saturn fans.com states the problem is with the alternator voltage regulator. Unfortunately, this problem has not been openly admitted as a fault of the l200 series, even though many owners have this intermittent flash of the lights. A technician I know said this problem has to do with the "comfort control module" which operates 12v devices like door locks lights security ect. My l200 has this flashing and about the time when the flashing got worse, the keyless locking mechanism was almost inoperable. So..... logically this problem has to do with a combination of both comfort control module and voltage regulator. The flashing is possibly the ccm whereas it could be a voltage spike due to improper voltage regulation, then it may be the alternator. Best to have a Saturn dealer check the prob. but ask them to document any tests of your alternator.

I had same problem with a 2001 L200. I heard a clicking sound inside the engine fuse box and it coincided with the lights blinking. Found it was one of the relays inside inside the fuse box. Replaced the relay that seemed to be clicking and the blinking light problem stopped.

The thermostat is located on the back of the engine under the exhaust manifold There is a pipe that runs across the back of the engine and around the corner to the hose the t-stat is in the pipe right where the hose connects to the pipe Easy to change if you know what you are doing Not easy if you don't Note that whole pipe must come off to replace the stat

That's easy, On the factory radio you will find embossed on the face the word time,next to the "recall" button, if you hold this button down while pressing the "up" buttom it will change the hours "down button" will change the minutes.

An alternator in a 2000 model year Saturn LS1 is located in the engine compartment. It is on the lower left of the passenger side of the car.

1. Find the #1 cylinder. That's on bank 1.
2. the other side of the engine is bank 2.

SERIOUS RECOMMENDATION!!!
If you're asking because the bank 2 oxygen sensor has failed, don't bother worrying about bank 1 or bank 2 sensor... just replace them both. If one has worn out the other is close behind. It's not that difficult to replace them both while you're doing the job.

What you're describing sounds like low hydraulic pressure. That can be caused by an internal hydraulic leak or a worn hydraulic pump. Internal hydraulic leaks can be a "valve body" issue, which can be a little less money than a full transmission rebuild, or it can be something much more difficult/expensive.

If it's the hydraulic pump, it must be replaced to solve the problem... however, once you have the transmission apart, you may as well rebuild the whole thing.

Now for the good news.

For a vehicle that is 15 years old, you would probably be better off just putting in a can of "Trans-X" or other transmission seal reconditioner. Seal reconditioners cause the seals to soften slightly and enlarge, resulting in a little less internal leaking. That can be a way to get a little extra life out of a worn transmission.

Good luck.

It might be that people toke it off or it might not have oil or the transmission doesnt work.

Just had this problem with my 01 Grand Prix tonight. I hit the crap out of it (the rotor) and it still would not come off. Turns out that having the emergency brake on was stopping me. I chocked the weels and took off the e-brake and they came right off. Hope that works for you. It seems that this answer is not found on any of the pages I've seen so far.

go to your parts store and get a belt sized to bypass your ac compressor. ask the parts guy he will give yoy the right one IF available.

Yes, it has a chain

Yes.

Look on eBay

First off if it is low of refrigerant then it has a leak. It is illegal to add refrigerant to a A/C system without first repairing the leak. You have neither the tools nor the skill to repair the leak, and to add the correct amount of refrigerant. Take it to a professional shop with the proper equipment and knowledge to repair the system correctly.

I've got 182xxx on my 2000 SL2. No internal engine failures as of yet. I did, however, just replace the water pump and, consequently, the head gasket. For the head gasket job I rebuilt/surfaced the head and replaced the valve seals, which has lead to decrease in oil consumption. Like I said, though, the engine itself is still running strong-- the dang water pump was the main issue (which is easily replaced, by the way). I've seen SLs at the Saturn dealer in Mechanicsburg, PA with over 300k on them! You should go forever with the Saturn engine as it will outlast the accessory parts if anything.

The 2003 Saturn L200 does not have a camshaft position sensor.

First you must remove the interior door panel, There are 3-4 screws at the bottom of the panel two in the door handle one behind upper speaker the also one behind the lock switch. You'll also have to remove the black panel that covers the mirror assembly and wiring. Bue careful with this panel a trim tool is recommended one that removed Christmas tree style plugs. You should also use it to remove the door panel itself, gently pull on the edges of the door and you will find where the plugs are. Once the panel is off you must pull back the water proofing ( clear plastic ) then you can access the speaker. 3 screws remove the speaker, then you can un plug it and replace. There is a black seal around the speaker which actually serves to water proof your car door. Replacing this speaker with an aftermarket one is quite hard because not only is it held in with 3 screws (where most aftermarket ones are 4) but it will ruin your water seal and there is a chance your car could have water leakage. Be careful.

MINE WAS DOING THE SAME THING AND IT WAS THE EGR VALVE!! THAT FIXED IT AND IT'S RUNNING GREAT!!:)GOOD LUCK

Most all cars of that year and later use the orange extended life coolant . it is used for the newer aluminum block engines and is good for 50000 miles
