2000 Daewoo Leganza Black exterior/Charcoal Interior 80,000 miles approx. 5-speed manual transmission All power options Tinted windows I have posted this vehicle before, so photos can be found under my previous post. Before, it was not running, but now it is running just as good as new. The only pro...

Recently, my wife was driving her Leganza at about 85MPH in 5th gear (probably 2500RPM) and the timing belt tensioner broke off of the oil pump housing, where it mounts. This, if you can picture it, is basically the equivalent of the belt snapping because all the tension is lost. So anyway, after te...

After finaly nearly completing my long journey of repair on this 2000 Leganza, I'm at the final steps toward victory. When I removed the serpentine belt, I just pried it off, not knowing how it goes on or off. How do I get it back on? I know the "routing" of it, just not how to relieve the tension t...

Well just to share some success/knowledge...I got the old oil pump out, by just dropping the front of the crossmember. That provided enough clearance to remove the pickup bolts. *side note* the leganza and nubira oil pump housings are the same, except for the fact that the nubira uses smaller bolts ...

Thanks for all of the input and suggestions, we finally got it out. Now we're faced with an even bigger obstace. We have to remove the oil pan from a 5-speed. It appears that the crossmember has to be dropped to get to all of the bolts and drop it, buuuuuuut, both engine mounts are on that cross mem...

I understand that, and I've understood all of this since the first response but.... it DOES NOT WORK.

Now Ive spent the last three hours with hammers and screwdrivers and the damn thing still aint off. Any other ideas?

Do they have the same head? I found a Nubira in the local u-pull-it yard and the engine appears the same. Whats the story?
