Replying to: yurakm (Dec 10, 2006 11:01 pm) Something my tranny has done since I bought the car is have a hard time shifting into overdrive in colder weather (under 25 degree F). The fluid has to warm a bit before it'll bend to my will. That has remained constant no matter if the fluid is old or new or the filters have just been changed or not. Not wanting to run afoul of the moderators, but was the Regal the only Buick de-contented as it approached its final run? I never heard that about the PA or LeS, but you never know until you ask.

Replying to: bigunit67 (Dec 11, 2006 8:50 am) The Century is another example of Buick's decontenting. I believe in 2003 the previously standard antilock brakes were made optional. That was a biggy. |

Replying to: yurakm (Dec 11, 2006 2:36 pm) I'm aware of what you mean in an overall general sense, but was directing my comments a bit more laser-like to like what the last poster gave an example of with the brakes. What can I say...I'm a big fan of cars that give you smallish V-6 hwy gas mileage yet make available a small V-8 when you need it, ala the SuperCharged Regal, Park Avenue, Impala SS (pre V-8 version) and Pontiac GT/GTP. Nothing against the new 3.6 engine, but I don't read the same things about it for mileage...change the mileage and it changes how you feel about the image of the car itself. |

Hello, my 2001 regals fuel gauge is all over the place. It will show full when starting, then go down to 1/4 tank, back to 1/2 tank, etc., etc. It never stays on the correct reading. Anyone had this problem? what could it be? Thanks, David

| I have a 1989 Buick Regal Gran Sport (3.1 multi port) with what i beleive a bad enjector. I believe that it is being stuck open and flooding the engine. After the car has been driven and i come to a stop the rpm's jump alover from like 500 to 1300 and it will do this until i put it into neutral. Somtimes it will sputter and stall out. It will start right back up and begin it again. Sometimes the Check engine like comes on right before it happens, somtimes it comes on after it acts up. I just wanted to see if thet is really the problem and if anyone has a tip for finding which one it is. Thank you in advanced. | |

I have a significant anti-freeze leak just inside of the passenger side front tire. Is this an indication of a leaking water pump or another problem? What are the expected costs to repair a water pump?

Replying to: jymmeo10 (Mar 06, 2007 10:46 am) With the motor off, touch the lower part of the pulley for water pump on the inside and see if you get any wetness. Look for little plastic tubes that come from the intake manifold out to connect to rubber hoses that go to the heaters. Those also can start to seep because they were put in with o-rings or they crack. There are numerous designs and I'm familiar with LeSabres version of the 3800. You don't mention number of miles on the car but a waterpump at 10 years could be what you have. You've just got to locate it. If you can see it drip onto the pavement you may need to crawl under far enough to look up to try to see the water path. |
