Re: A way around tuning?

So no funds for engine management? That sounds like a no starter to me. I'd look into an E mange blue at a minum, you can find them on E bay for arround $200 US and a DIY water injection kit would allow you to run factory timing, Sorry that's not what you were asking but that's whatI would tell him....

Snap On Cam Tool won't work!

I bought this tool for our Nuria and it was useless! I see now they have another kit that has other parts for this tool at additional cost. That might work but this tool by itself is useless on the Woo. Just a heads up! http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=644036&group_ID=67...

Re: Split Sleeve Bushings for Control Arms

Never mind about the torque settings for the control arms, I found the procedure online. 1. Install the control arm. 2. Install the rear crossmember–to–body bolt. Do not tighten the bolt. 3. Install the front control arm bolt and nut into the crossmember. Bolt goes in from the top. 4. Tighten the c...

Re: Split Sleeve Bushings for Control Arms

Wow outstanding! I think I will do this myself. It looks like this thread has pretty much gone over all the issues with this job. I usually do supenshion stuff myself but this car has been a PIA. I have to get another car up and running before I take this one down though but I'm pretty sure I can ge...

Re: Split Sleeve Bushings for Control Arms

Hey thanks for the quick reply! I found the parts in country at Daewoousa.com so that part is solved. I spoke to the shop and the guy explained what he did and yes he used a hook to remove tthe upper split sleeve. So he does understand how the part works but... he still wants to drop the subframe to...

Split Sleeve Bushings for Control Arms

OK I am having a horrible time with the control arm replacement on our 2000 Nubria wagon. I had new arms installed at a shop. They did something weird lower the subframe? And destroyed the split sleeve bushings in the rear lower control arms! :gib: I took it to another shop with new control arms and...

Re: Bad waterpump?

Wow that sucks! But you need to get that water pump out of there asap! If it leaks and the coolant gets on the T- belt, your looking at a valve job, in all likely-hood. Good luck and sorry.

Re: Lanos 2 dr Sport 2001 won't start! Battery seems fine.

If you have a DVOM check the battery, you need at least 11.5 volts for the car to start. And you can bypass the safety switch, disconnect it at the clutch pedal (I'm guessing that's where it is? And put a paper clip in it to make jumper. Tape it up so it can't short out.

Oh yeah what he said! :D

Timing Belt Pulleys

Ok after purchasing a Gates Belt and with advise from this site, I was finally able to get the timing belt on. Car is a 2000 Daewoo Nubria with the 2 liter motor. I have a question about the lip on the pullies. On the Intake side the lip is to the outside, so the belt can't ride forward. On the exha...
