Just a small addition - I recently took my 1.5l woo in for a tuning check at a small specialist electronic tuning place (near Brisbane in Oz). He gave me a very nice thumbs up and said everything was well adjusted, no misfires, no indications of any issues (nice to hear, given it's done almost 160,0...

Just another *happy* owner..

I understand how the OP feels, but everyone's story is different - here's mine.. I bought my Lanos (just the 1.5) new in 2002 - I was aware of the whole imminent-daewoo-collapse problem, but was confident that GM (Australia) would look after me (which they did/have), and I test drove a lot of vehicl...

Any updates, comments on what made the most diference? I wouldn't mind giving this a go, and I wonder where the majority of the noise (in my case, roadnoise) comes from - I'm guessing front floor/arches, doors (mines a hatchback), then rear floor/arches would be the best order to do it..?

Erf, I'm afraid that's not right - I *also* thought that all models would have the same wiring harness, but it's not correct. At least not in models that came to Australia. For a start, the ECU is in a completely different location, and on the 1.5 litre tacho-less models, there is no spare wire at t...

Thanks, mmamdouh. I reckon that number-of-pulses-per-rev is the key to this. As I said, I'm a little surprised that my local auto-electronics 'technicians' (for want of a better title!) won't help. It seems to me that they could easily use an oscilloscope to see what signal is actually coming out of...

If anyone DOES find that wire for the 1.5, I would be most interested. I've looked at the schematics I could find, and it *seems* to be the same green-black wire, but when connected to my el-cheapo tachometer, nada. The ECU on my Lanos is clearly different to that on 1.6L models, as it does not have...
