The original daewootech forum

Took it back in to the mechanic to check why the oil flashes at idle, no oil pressure when idling.... Crank bearings are shot!

Keeping my eyes out for a motor (then rebuild it if affordable) to replace.

Running ok for now but no long trips!

The cars fine now until it gets to operating temperature, then the oil light flickers when it's idling. It's consistently doing it when it warms up, still no obvious clicking noise but the engine does become a little less smooth and has a bit more noise than when it's cold. Light goes when it's revs...

Hi again, Sorry I don't mean to dig up an old post but just an update on the oil pressure issue. Took it in to a work shop who say they have seen this time and time again, it was the screen on the pick up in the sump, the oil had turned to grit and clogged up the entrance. They removed the restricti...

Yeah, would be close to a grand with labour as well.

Gotta get it looked at though, been really good with the oil issue, then light started coming on again after a longer trip, behaving itself again now a couple days after!

I'll post one last time here!

Just a bit of interesting news. I priced and oil pump for the Nubira at a local parts shop... $769 AUD!!!!

Looked on ebay, a company from the US... Around $100 USD and around $65 postage!!!!

Our prices here are ridiculous!!!

Fortunately there's no oil in the air filter, etc, so no blowback thankfully!

The oil light came on today when it was idling then dissappeared when the revs were up so thinking I'll flush it again and we'll get the pump done as soon as we can afford it.

..... Excessive blow-by!

Sorry I'll need you to explain that one to me.

--- Just drove the car today for the first time in months. Drove really well, and no issue with the oil. Pump was a little noisy for a while though the noise stopped.

Ahhhhh! Sorry it's a 2 litre. How hard is the oil pump to change? The timing belt is only new! :( Actually it does make a winding noise when you first start it and then dissappears, it did it from the start only it stopped making noise when i twas getting blocked up all the time (just realising this...

Hi there, I'm new to this forum, have owned a '99 Nubira in Australia for over a year, was thinking of selling it but selling our Commodore instead since the Daewoos cheaper to run, and newer. And since finding this site, they obviously have more potential than I realised! :o Just a few things, I ca...
